Sharp Introduces Pro 90" LCD Monitor

Grant's Perspective on ... the new Sharp PN-R903 LCD monitor.

I have noticed that many organizations have embraced large monitors for their boardrooms, training facilities and in digital signage applications. I expect this trend to continue with the new  Sharp 90" professional monitor.

This 90" display is lightweight (75 kg) and narrower than previous monitors so that it can be mounted in areas that previously were not possible.

The PN-R903 includes more inputs than previous Sharp monitors. This is great as we often had to include the PNZB01 expansion board in many of our systems designs.

As the photo below illustrates, a 90" monitor set up in portrait mode is 6' 5" high and enables life-sized graphics to be displayed.

Video Monitor That Bends

Grant's Perspective on ... APG flexible monitor at the Inland AV shows.

I have further reviewed the list of AV manufacturers that will be displaying at  our trade show next week in Winnipeg (January 18) and Edmonton (February 8).  I am excited to see the APG display. It looks to be an impressive booth that will include a bezel-less video wall, outdoor monitor (we are talking for MB, SK and AB Canada) and a video monitor that bends so that it will wrap around pillars.

monitor that is flexible!

iPad Wall Mount For Digital Signage

Grant's Perspective on ... Premier Mounts introduces iPad mounts including a wall mounted version.

Premier Mounts sent us some information on a new line of  iPad mounts (9 in total) that will be available next month (May 2011).

The mount that caught my eye was the one designed for wall mounting an iPad in a digital signage application. It is secure, allows for ventilation and comes in several different finishes. People have access to the screen but none of the other controls. All you see and can touch is the screen.
