[Intl_DxMedPhys] Experience with Protection Screen for Eizo monitors

[Alisa Walz-Flannigan]

Would not add to DX display.
May add internal reflections and reduce res/quality (biggest concern). Will change reflective coefficients (relevant to how your cal's are setup).
Minimally you'd need to order and try+characterize.

Would suggest seeing if Eizo can service with a front panel replacement.  I'd hope if they got warranty replacements back for same that they aren't throwing away the whole thing.



Very respectfully,

Alisa

Hello,

Can anyone kindly share their experience with using a protective screen for the EIZO monitor? We recently had a bad experience with a mammography display in which a scratch on the screen caused mechanical damage, which will require a potentially expensive replacement.

I just found out that Eizo has screen panel protection for their display - https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.eizo.com/products/accessories/protectors/__;!!KGKeukY!3RFseOahUKpee93tcQXCiDjBYKKWr1ZF6R1axSxbcmjA0wm0MdOisx-y42t49DrAnfGXwEfn37CDD6QToVTXwiYeFEmpJFBYH5Q6Vnb_kPAybw$  <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.eizo.com/products/accessories/protectors/__;!!KGKeukY!3O6ta4vYdGzf35SdCKn3-BqoP1jlfp4H0uAVKxnzIgdABpTjLzpYTIfS8SeElcO05MnBg6BWqSUdYe12flYXC3m4KsJWj5OCXjpyCXtf$>

If you have had experience with these protection screens, how does that affect the display calibrations and other tests? Is there a chance dust can get trapped, making it difficult to clean the display regularly? Are radiologists happy to read exams with this sort of screen protector on?

Please share your thoughts and experience if you have encountered one.

Thanks,
