Sharp launches 65-inch professional LCD monitor, believed to be world’s largest

March 29, 2006—Sharp has announced that the world’s largest professional LCD monitor, the 65-inch model PN-655, will be available in the US starting in June.

This robust monitor has a full 1920 x 1080 two-megapixel high-definition (HD) resolution for accurate and precise image reproduction, says the company. With commercial design and components, the PN-655 offers superior reliability for extended use applications, complementing Sharp’s line of professional LCD video/data monitors.

The PN-655 monitor’s excellent performance makes it ideal for use in diverse commercial settings such as digital signage, medical imaging, CAD/CAM and flight information displays.

Sharp’s LCD monitors have several proprietary technologies and features that ensure unparalleled image quality for a professional presentation of information, data and images. The line has anti-glare and low-reflection properties, enabling Sharp monitors to be placed in brighter areas where other screens might appear washed out, says the company. Higher contrast lets viewers discern details they might otherwise miss, particularly when viewing darker content. The 170-degree viewing angles help the monitors display a crisp picture that can be seen from virtually anywhere in the room. A Black TFT/Bright Pixel Elimination ensures that if a pixel fails, it is effectively invisible to the viewer.
