Sharp in introducing a 65-inch professional LCD monitor, model PN-655, available in the U.S. from June 2006. This 65-inch monitor has a full 1920 x 1080 two-megapixel high-definition (HD) resolution.

The company says this LCD monitor was built with commercial design and components, offering reliability for extended use applications. Its primary uses include diverse commercial settings such as digital signage, medical imaging, CAD/CAM and flight information displays.

To show multiple types of content sources in high definition, the PN-655 utilizes DFE (Dual-Fine Engine) technology, which enables the customer to display both computer and video content. The monitor has a full complement of input and output connectors to show all types of content, from DVD to varying PC resolutions up through 1920 x 1080 native mode from both analog and digital (DVI) sources.

The PN-655 has a four-wavelength spectrum, cold-cathode fluorescent backlight that provides an enhanced color spectrum including deeper, vibrant and vivid reds. Sharp says the LCD monitor provides good quality for fast-moving video through its fast pixel response time of less than 6 ms.
