LG Electronics has introduced the 32HS710S, a 31.5-inch 4K surgical monitor designed to enhance surgical workflows by combining high-resolution imaging with user-focused operational features. The monitor delivers a crisp 4K resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels through an IPS panel, which provides consistent colour accuracy across a wide viewing angle. It has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is registered for medical use in both the UK and Europe, attesting to its safety and effectiveness in clinical environments.

Engineered with the demands of operating rooms in mind, the 32HS710S boasts approximately 800 cd/m² brightness and covers around 95 percent of the DCI-P3 colour space, facilitating clear, vivid images crucial for detailed medical imaging. It complies with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard, ensuring reliable display of visual outputs from various medical imaging devices including surgical endoscopes and laparoscopic cameras.

To streamline surgical workflows, the monitor incorporates several intelligent features tailored to clinical needs. Users can independently configure picture mode settings for each input source, allowing optimisation of images from multiple devices simultaneously. Dedicated hotkeys enable swift activation of preferred screen modes and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) layouts, simplifying the manipulation of visual data during procedures. A key reliability feature is the Failover Input Switch, which automatically switches to a backup video source if the primary signal is disrupted, supporting uninterrupted operation in critical moments.

Durability and operational efficiency are addressed through the use of optical bonding with durable glass, alongside Anti-Glare, Anti-Reflection, and Anti-Fingerprint coatings to maintain image clarity under bright surgical lighting. The monitor features an IP45 rating for the front panel, IP32 for the back, and IK06 impact resistance, ensuring robustness in the challenging environment of operating theatres. Weighing approximately 9.2 kilograms, the 32HS710S offers flexible mounting options compatible with a range of surgical monitor arms.

Additional versatility is provided through features like Picture-in-Picture (PIP), Mirror and Rotation Modes for adjustable image orientation, and Clone Screen output supporting training and collaboration within surgical teams. These functions are aimed at helping medical professionals focus more effectively on patient care by reducing time spent on technical adjustments.

LG's announcement highlights their focus on practical workflow improvements, with a company executive emphasising that the monitor’s automated screen settings, one-touch controls, and dependable backup systems are designed to enable surgical teams to maintain focus where it matters most—in patient outcomes.

This model follows LG’s broader initiative in the medical display sector, which includes the earlier launch of a 27-inch Mini LED surgical monitor with similarly advanced features, underscoring the company's commitment to providing innovative visualization solutions for healthcare.
