Sharp 60" LCD Monitor With The World's Thinnest Bezel

Grant's Perspective on ... InfoComm and the Sharp video wall.

I was really impressed with the Sharp booth that featured a great looking video wall. It featured the new 60" PN-V601 professional LCD monitors.

·         These SHARP monitors contain:

o   the world's thinnest bezel -  making it a great choice for video wall applications.

o   Full array LED-backlighting

§  provides a bright image in virtually any lighting condition

§  uniform colours (the monitors all look the same) and very even brightness across the screen (there isn’t that darker video area near the edges).  Note below the photo provided by SHARP and the photo I took of the display at the SHARP booth.  The proof is there!

§  LED also provides for low power consumption – a must for video walls that run 24/7 as that is a significant power consumption time. 

·   With the 60-inch screen size, a large wall can be created with fewer monitors. The PN-V601 enables a 13’ x 7’ video wall with the use of just nine monitors, while it would require sixteen 46-inch competitive monitors to produce the same 100 square foot video wall.  And the 3x3 configuration that SHARP uses in this example looks better in my opinion as only 9 monitors appear less cluttered.

“As digital signage and display applications continue to evolve, customers are looking for more energy-efficient products and thinner bezel designs that enable nearly seamless images to be displayed in large video wall configurations,” said Ed McLaughlin, president, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America. “The introduction of this ultra-slim bezel, LED-backlit LCD monitor rounds out our comprehensive line of professional displays and offers superior image quality and improved compatibility to serve the needs of the commercial market. The large 60-inch class monitor allows larger size video walls to be created utilizing fewer LCD panels, resulting in increased energy efficiency and lower operating costs.”
