LG Electronics USA launched a new 40-inch ultrawide diagnostic monitor designed to help radiologists improve efficiency and clinical productivity. The monitor received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance as a medical device.

LG said the solution aims to strengthen its U.S. medical display portfolio and reinforces its commitment to developing displays for healthcare professionals. The new diagnostic monitor, model 40HT513D, features a 40-inch IPS Black panel with 5,120 × 2,160 resolution, aiming to deliver a high level of clarity needed for medical imaging. It also features a 21:9 aspect ratio that aims to enable users to perform tasks typically handled by three 3MP monitors on a single screen.

The monitor supports display of up to three different imaging sources. The three Picture-by-Picture (3PBP) setup serves to allow radiologists to review current and prior X-ray, CT or MRI images alongside electronic medical records on one screen. The solution also includes a built-in keyboard, video and mouse switch that enables control of two PCs through one keyboard and mouse. The company said this works to eliminate the need for separate input devices or manual data transfers.

The 40HT513D employs a detachable calibration sensor for accurate brightness and contrast control. The sensor tip remains stored within the unit during normal use to avoid obstructing the display and is exposed only for calibration or performance measurement. The monitor includes software features that support diagnostic review. Focus View brightens a selected area and dims surrounding regions without zooming, and Pathology Mode adjusts resolution and color representation settings optimized for pathological image display.

LG’s Calibration Studio Medical enables integrated management of diagnostic monitors installed throughout a healthcare facility. Through a centralized server, administrators can conduct quality assurance tests that align with medical display standards and monitor the results. The software also provides real-time alerts when display performance abnormalities are detected.

“Understanding the unique demands of healthcare professionals is central to how we develop our medical display solutions,” said Jim Salamon, senior healthcare IT manager at LG Electronics USA. “This new diagnostic monitor combines the image quality, consistency and reliability needed in clinical environments, further demonstrating LG’s commitment to the healthcare vertical.”
