1. OVERVIEW  
1.1 Introduction  
The MFCD 1218, BARCO’s full color 18” LCD  
display, guarantees perfect image quality in  
medical imaging applications.  
The display combines a TFT (thin film transistor)  
liquid crystal display panel structure and a built-in  
backlight with inverter for a better picture quality. It  
is designed to meet users' needs for performance,  
consistency, and outstanding image quality  
through a streamlined development process in  
which wall-mount functionality provides a variety  
of capability.  
The image on the display can be adjusted by  
means of the extended on-screen menu system  
(OSD).  
The internal memory can contain settings for 24  
different types of video signals (with different  
timings). 22 are factory-preset, 2 are user-  
definable.  
The display accepts the most common display  
standards. However, it is limited to the following  
specifications: The horizontal frequency must be  
between 31 and 91 kHz, the vertical frequency  
between 56 and 85 Hz, and the maximum  
resolution is 1280 x 1024.  
Multi-scan  
capabilities  
The optimum and recommended resolution is  
1280 x 1024 / 60 Hz.  
The monitor comes with a power saving feature;  
therefore, you may put the monitor into a power  
saving state when it is not in use. This feature  
complies with both EPA‘s Energy Star  
Power Saving  
requirements and European NUTEK/TCO’s power  
management guidelines. It conforms to Video  
Electronics Standard Association (VESA)  
approved DPMS power-down signaling method.  
This monitor automatically cuts down power  
consumption of monitor set when not detecting  
Hsync or Vsync signals. This feature is compliant  
with VESA DPMS.

2.4 Starting up  
Proceed as follows:  
1
2
Switch on the computer.  
Switch on the display by pushing the Power  
key (9).  
3
If necessary, select a suitable resolution in  
the computer operating system. Please refer  
to Appendix A, "Possible resolutions" in the  
back of this manual.  
Note: The recommended resolution for best  
image quality is 1280x1024 at 60 Hz.  
The microcontroller in the display checks if the  
connected video signal has been adjusted before,  
and if these adjustments have been stored in the  
memory. There are 2 possibilities:  
(9)  
a) The video signal has been adjusted and  
stored in the memory.  
In this case, the display switches to this memory  
location (the so-called mode) and the image will  
need no further adjustments.  
b) The video signal has not been adjusted and  
stored yet.  
In this case, the display will auto-size the picture  
and store the settings in one of the user modes.  
2.5 Install the DICOM Optimizer software  
Proceed as follows:  
Install the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. The  
CD-ROM starts automatically. Please follow the  
instructions on the screen.  
The CD-ROM contains user instructions about the
