Sharp Interactive Touch Screen 60" Monitor

Grant's Perspective on ... the new Sharp PN-L601B LCD touch screen interactive monitor.

 Here’s a good example of "Improved communication from technology integration, and a lot of other cool stuff too…”:  The PN-L601B brochure states, “Put the Power of Interaction to Work with a Sharp Integrated Touch-Screen Solution”.  That’s what I’m talking about.

This is totally the “executive” version of the popular interactive whiteboard.  As high-end boardroom design and installation is one of our forte’s, and knowing the fine ability of Sharp monitors to scale various video signals and the crisp image they produce, this is a product that will be requested and suggested as a great solution.

Here is a photo taken from the Sharp brochure and specifications sheet.

The key points from the PN-L601B announcement include:

• Ultra Bright Screen with Low Energy Consumption
• Super Accurate Touch-Screen Finger and Touch Pen Response via Proprietary Infrared Detection System
• Easy-to-Use System Interface and Original Pen Software

Besides the low power consumption, this monitor uses LED backlite technology. This means that it is mercury free!


The interactive marketplace is now a bit more crowded with Sharp Electronics announcement of the PN-L601B touch screen, interactive monitor.

It was just a few short months ago that the interactive choices were limited to whiteboards. Epson launched the BrightLink interactive projector this past spring and it has been enthusiastically received by our clients in the educational and corporate world. Now Sharp has introduced an interactive monitor. Now there are 3 options for people looking for an interactive communications tool.

I see many applications for the 60"monitor/touch screen in small seminar and boardrooms and look forward to integrating them into appropriate AV systems designs.

Our Sharp representative Joe informs us that the touch screen monitor will be arriving next week and our Edmonton office will see it first.
