Dissecting the Business Case for Adoption and Implementation of Digital Pathology: A White Paper from the Digital Pathology Association is the DPA white paper which has all the information:
"Additional hardware may aid the integration of whole slide imaging into the laboratory workflow. For displays, it has been demonstrated that a modern 3-4-megapixel (MP) display is adequate; however, for primary diagnosis, medical-grade displays which provide higher resolutions (4-8 MP), contrast ratios, luminance, and color stability are preferred. In addition, most medical-grade display screens have embedded sensors that guarantee image consistency over a lifetime of 5 + years, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) software that is remotely accessible and technology that automatically senses the ambient lighting conditions of your workspace. As of today, there are no universal guidelines for displays in DP; however, when determining the required investment into displays, these are some minimum specifications to consider: 24” to 27” screen size, 3MP resolution, brightness/luminance of 350 cd/m2, contrast ratio of luminance from the brightest color to the darkest color of 1000:1, screen refresh rate of 60 Hz and QA/QC software with color calibration management to ensure daily consistency of color. A wide range of displays meet and/or exceed these specifications; therefore, the price range for medical-grade displays is also wide, ranging from $5,500 to $14,500."
