Sharp recently introduced a new 65-inch LCD monitor (PN-655RU) specifically designed for operation in a portrait mode.

To ensure reliable operation and backlight life for use in portrait mode, Sharp has optimized the internal cooling, air flow and backlight system. This model joins the current 65-inch PN-655U, which is designed for landscape mode applications. Also joining the 65-inch lineup is the PN-655RUP (portrait mode version of the PN-655UP, which incorporates an integrated protective acrylic overlay).

With response time of less than 6ms, the PN-655U features a resolution of 1,920¡Á1,080 and a viewing angle of 170 degrees. A black TFT/bright pixel elimination ensures that if a pixel fails, it is effectively invisible to the viewer. The monitor also achieves brightness of 400 nits while maintaining low power consumption.

There are many important portrait-mode applications for high-end, large-size displays in diverse market settings such as medical imaging, digital signage, design and flight information display, said John Becconsall, director at Professional Display Products, Sharp Commercial Markets Sales and Solutions Group.

The PN-655RU will be available in January through Sharp authorized dealers and value-added resellers for a manufacturer's suggested list price (MSLP) of US$29,995.
