With a slim profile and energy savings, the new 60-inch class PN-V601 offers the world’s slimmest bezel available in a professional LCD display and can be used in a variety of signage and commercial display applications, in both landscape and portrait mode.

The monitor is designed to fulfill a wide range of customer applications, with an optional expansion board that expands the available input and output terminals. Additionally, the monitor employs a full-array LED backlight system, resulting in more uniform colors and brightness across the entire screen.

“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,” says Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America president Ed McLaughlin.

“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 utilising fewer LCD panels, resulting in increased energy efficiency and lower operating costs.”

The PN-V601 offers several features that are ideal for video wall applications. 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.

This leads to a reduction in installation costs as well as power savings. Additionally, with an ultra-slim bezel that measures just over 4.1mm at the top and 2.4mm at the bottom of the panel, the majority of the surface area of the video wall would be made up of the actual screen since the seam area between monitors is less obtrusive.
