Sharp 70" Touchscreen Press Release

Grant's Perspective on ... Sharp issues a press release on their new 70" touchscreen LCD monitor.

We have confirmed that Sharp is releasing a PN-L702B 70" touchscreen LCD monitor.

I found it interesting that a 70" monitor has 30% more area than a 60" monitor. The working area of the monitor is over 5 feet wide and more than 3 feet high which is close to the average size of a whiteboard!

This is as large an interactive surface that most people would want as users could only comfortably reach up to 7 feet off the ground (most whiteboards and monitors are mounted at 30"- 34" above the finished floor). A rule of thumb is that the monitor or whiteboard should be higher than the boardroom table or desk and the top should be below the top of a standard door frame of 7'. You want the board or interactive monitor above the table height so that it can be seen by the audience and under 7' high so that the facilitator can reach the top with their marker or interactive pen. This 70" interactive monitor is about as large as it can be and still fit this guideline.

The monitor and floor stand pictured above illustrates how this unit will be easily wheeled from room to room so it should always be in use.
