The Eizo EX5542 4K Surgical Monitor is A 55-inch widescreen surgical monitor with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution and high brightness for endoscopy, microsurgery, and other high-precision procedures.
4K UHD Resolution and High Brightness
The monitor uses an energy-efficient LED backlight with a high brightness of 700 cd/m². The high resolution of 3840 x 2160 is four times the size of full HD and faithfully reproduces 4K endoscope and operating microscope images in Ultra High Definition.

Wide Color Gamut for Distinguishing Tones
During procedures, the operating surgeon needs to be able to differentiate between varying color tones. The EX5542 supports the BT.2020 4K video color standard to ensure that subtle differences between shades of reds and yellows captured by BT.2020-supported cameras are distinguishable on the screen.
HDR Compatibility
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a range that approximates the human perception of color and light as content is shown on a display device. The monitor is equipped with the perceptual quantization (PQ) curve and hybrid log-gamma (HLG) for supporting HDR. This ensures images from HDR-supported endoscope cameras are displayed without crushing blacks and more closely resemble the human visual system.
Fully Flat Design
Operating rooms contain various medical devices that are arranged according to the type of surgery. Safe handling and a sterile environment play a major role. EIZO’s surgical monitors adopt a flat design that saves valuable space and promotes easy cleaning and disinfection. Furthermore, the front is covered with protective glass with IP45 for protection against foreign material and splashes (the whole monitor has an IP32 rating).
Lightweight and VESA Mounting
Conventional large screen monitors often come with challenges during installation due to their heavy weight and limited range of mounting capabilities. The EX5542 boasts a weight of just 29.3 kg. This makes it much lighter compared to other monitors of this size and thus alleviating difficulty of installation and maintenance. Compliance with the VESA standard allows flexible mounting to common fixtures.
Cable Cover for Safety and Hygiene
With the attached cable cover, the cable connections can be stored neatly out of sight for maintaining a high level of safety and hygiene in the operating room.
Streamlined Connectivity
With BNC (12G-SDI), and DisplayPort or HDMI, up to 4K UHD images are displayed at 60 frames per second with a single cable over various modalities.
When connected via BNC (12G-SDI), stable transmission is achieved even over long distances of 30 meters.
Output Images Directly to Multiple Monitors
The monitor is also equipped with BNC (12G-SDI), DisplayPort, and DVI output terminals so input video can be passed through and output directly to the next monitor. The same image is displayed on multiple monitors making information sharing among medical staff smooth in the operating room, while alleviating excess cabling.
180° Rotation and Mirroring
Regardless of the orientation of the surgical camera, you can rotate the displayed image by 180° or mirror it to find the perfect operating angle.
This is useful for aligning the image with the line of sight of surrounding assistants and surgeons, improving convenience in the operating room.
View Two Signals on One Screen
Two different types of signal sources can be viewed simultaneously on one monitor side by side using the PbyP (Picture-by-Picture) or one displayed within an inset window over the other with the PinP (Picture-in-Picture) function. For example, this allows monitoring vitals or ultrasound endoscopes simultaneously in addition to surgical images.
Fail-Safe Signal Display
The Auto Input Detection function automatically switches to another connected input port if the selected video signal is no longer detected.
This provides a fail-safe in the case that the video signal’s input is disrupted due to a system error or other external interference.
Adjust Screens Individually
When displaying two signal sources side by side on the same screen, each image’s display mode (gamma 1.8 – 2.6 or DICOM Preset Mode) can be adjusted independently of the other image. This is useful for viewing two different modalities simultaneously under the correct display conditions (e.g. endoscope, CT, MRI).
Safe and Stable Video Connection
Typically HDMI cables cannot be locked into a terminal but this monitor contains a specialized locking mechanism on its side specifically for HDMI. This ensures all cables can be locked onto the monitor for consistent and stable connection.
