Sharp has introduced an addition to its line of professional LCD monitors with the TL series of full 1920 x 1080, two-megapixel HD LCD monitors. The series includes the 52-inch TL-M5200 (shown) and the 46-inch TL-M4600, which offer high image quality at a competitive price, according to the company. Officials said the monitors were designed for use in various applications, such as teleconferencing, CAD/simulation, digital signage, corporate, education, training, hospitality, sports arenas, entertainment, and house of worship.
Sharp’s proprietary Advanced Super View (ASV) panel supports fast-moving video through a pixel response time of less than 6 ms, and provides wide 176-degree viewing angles. The TL-M4600 features a 1500:1 contrast ratio and the TL-M5200 has a 2000:1 contrast ratio, for increased detail of darker content. An array of input connectors enables the monitors to show a variety of content, from DVD to varying PC resolutions from both analog and digital (DVI-D) sources. Both include HDCP-compatible HDMI inputs for access to HD content, plus a built-in Web browser.
“The large-format display market continues to evolve, with increased needs for advanced functionality and connectivity in a reasonably priced package,” said Dan Wynne, senior director of marketing in Sharp America’s professional display division, in a statement. “With the addition of this affordable monitor series, Sharp will reach a broader audience while offering superior image quality and improved compatibility, for reliability in a wider range of commercial applications.”
The TL-M5200 is currently available through Sharp authorized dealers and value-added resellers for a suggested price of $4,995. The TL-M4600 will be available in June through Sharp dealers and resellers for $3,995.
