Sharp Introduces 65-inch LCD PN-655 HD Monitor

The World’s Largest*¹ Full-Spec High-Definition Commercial Monitor Offers Crisp, Detailed Image Presentation and Unparalleled Videoconference Imagery

Sharp will introduce into the Japanese market the PN-655 LCD Monitor made at the Kameyama Plant, which uses a 65V-inch full-spec high-definition LCD panel (resolution of 1,920×1,080 pixels).

The large 65V-inch screen brings images to life with its pure size. It also faithfully reproduces computer-generated images such as CAD data with impressively high-resolution and high quality right down to the finest details. And because it’s LCD, the PN-655 gives expressively colored images even in bright rooms and allows everyone in a meeting, no matter where they are sitting, to see the information on-screen with equal clarity. The high-definition videoconference function displays facial expressions with detail, so smooth, clear communication is possible wherever in the world you are. A wide range of interfaces means a wide range of networking possibilities, making the PN-655 a new, all-purpose business solution.

By commercializing large-screen, full-spec high-definition information monitors that reproduce high-resolution, high-quality images, Sharp will continue to establish LCD superiority in the commercial monitor market.
