Advanced Features & Design

When you choose a Sharp PN-Series Professional Monitor, you benefit from a number of special design and configuration features that provide optimal performance, flexibility, and control.

Following are some features common to all PN-Series displays. Also, please visit our individual Product Family Pages to learn more additional features specific to each type of PN-Series panel.

Slim Bezel

The slim bezel and thin profile of Sharp PN-E and PN-L family LCD monitors, combined with a brushed metal finish, provide a sleek appearance. These design elements ensure the displays fit in with the aesthetic design of corporate boardrooms, hotel lobbies, and other high profile settings. The PN-V series of displays goes even slimmer – with edges measuring a mere 3.25 mm – to provide the ultimate, interlocking video wall display solution.

Multi-Monitor Displays

With Mirror Display Mode, the same image can be displayed on a daisy chain of Sharp PN-Series LCD monitors for powerful impact. Multiple monitors also can be grouped to display one enlarged image from a PC utilizing the Enlarge (Zoom) Display mode (for up to 25 PN-V Series monitors). This mode offers framing correction to eliminate image misalignment between the monitors and does not require any external hardware.

Choice of Landscape or Portrait Mode

Sharp’s PN-Series Professional Monitors offer the choice of landscape or portrait installation, enabling customers to select the mode that best suits their display content and application. Designed for commercial use, regardless of whether installed in landscape or portrait orientation, these models are backed by Sharp’s 3-year on-site limited warranty.

Dual Screen Display

Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode allows an image from an AV source to be displayed as a picture within the image from a PC source (or vice-versa). Picture-by-Picture (PbyP) mode permits images from an AV and PC source to be displayed side by side for split-screen viewing.

Full-Array LED Backlight

To give PN-Series Professional Monitors more uniform brightness than conventional CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlighting, Sharp has positioned LED elements across the entire panel directly behind the liquid crystal layers, ensuring that our displays are bright, beautiful, and uniform.

Safe and Secure Installation

Heavy-duty carrying handles are included with each monitor to ensure safe handling. These handles may be detached when the display is installed. All models additionally incorporate a VESA-compliant mounting configuration to help ensure safe and secure installation with compatible third-party mounting hardware.

Superior Durability

Sharp PN-Series Monitors are ideal for demanding environments and around-the-clock* operation. They are supported by a 3-year on-site limited warranty covering parts, labor, and backlight.

Built-in Sensor

A built-in sensor detects when monitor temperature rises. The backlight system automatically adjusts to keep within safe operational levels; the monitor will go to standby after extended high temperature.

Power-on Delay

When multi-monitor installations are turned on all at once, variable time delay between startup of each monitor reduces the load placed on the local AC power grid.

Logging

The Log Save/Output function retains operating logs, signal changes, and operating irregularity information for efficient troubleshooting.

Fanless Architecture

Sharp LCD monitors maintain airflow and dissipate heat without the use of mechanical air-ventilation fans, which can attract dust and create noise.

Hardware Diagnosis

This function detects power supply irregularities and can display this information right on the monitor.

E-Mail Notification

The E-Mail Notification function allows regular display status updates to be sent to a specified e-mail address.

Auto Adjustment

If the input signal timing changes using an analog RGB connection, the clock phase adjusts automatically.

*If the same static image is continuously displayed for an extended time, image persistence may occur. It may be gradually removed by displaying video graphics.
