Key features include high-resolution and calibrated image quality that is consistent and accurate, enhanced durability, and hygiene-friendly designs like antimicrobial coatings and disinfectant resistance. They are built for continuous use and are more reliable than consumer monitors for medical diagnostic tasks, such as viewing X-rays and CT scans.\n\nMonitors designed to display electronic images either in real time as they are obtained using a video camera or from a video recorder, a digital versatile disk recorder, a television, or from a digital computerized network. These monitors typically include electronic circuitry to process the composite television signal and a screen (e.g., cathode ray tube, liquid crystal or plasma display, projection sets) to display the image. Video monitors may be used for many purposes, including monitoring patient activity, and displaying images during surgical, endoscopic, and fluoroscopic procedures.\n\nThe following Contract Line-Items Number (CLIN) are being considered: \n\nContract Line Items\nManufacturer\nPart Number\nDescription\n0001\nEizo®\nEX2742\n27 4K CuratOR®\n0002\nEizo®\nEX3242\n32 4K CuratOR®\n0003\nEizo®\nEX5542\n55 4K CuratOR®\n\n\n\nThe Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking vendors who can Eizo® CuratOR® brand name or equal Monitors: Video: Medical as listed above which meet all the following salient characteristics: Vendors may quote any product solution or configuration so long as they meet the salient characteristics.
