For compelling digital signage in shopping malls,
transportation hubs, college campuses and sports
and entertainment facilities, the Sharp PN-A601
is a smart choice. is 60" class (60" diagonal)
LED-LCD monitor oers ultra-high brightness of

for superb visibility, even in brightly
lit window-facing indoor settings. e PN-A601
also provides exceptionally high image quality in
full 1080p HD, with the energy savings eciency
of a full-array LED backlight in combination with
local dimming.
Note: The PN-A601 is intended for use in indoor environments. If the monitor is installed in a location exposed to excessive direct sunlight such as a windowfront, consult your installer to determine if additional measures
to reduce ultraviolet and infrared radiation and ambient temperature are required.
* Results of Sharp measurements when displaying broadcast content (sub-clause 11.6) stipulated
under IEC 62087 Ed. 2.0 and with brightness set to maximum. Note that the power
consumption reduction will vary depending on the images displayed.
Remarkable High Brightness and Visibility
With its ultra-high brightness of 2,000 cd/m
2
, the PN-A601
provides eye-catching digital signage in ofce complexes, hotels,
public spaces, store window displays and many other brightly lit
interior applications. The display’s exceptionally high contrast ratio
further helps ensure images are clearly visible, even in indoor
settings with high ambient light.
Local Dimming for High Contrast and
Superb Energy Efficiency
Much of the PN-A601’s exceptional performance – including
outstanding black levels, high contrast and superb energy
efciency is due to local dimming of the LED backlight. Local
dimming allows specic groups of LEDs to be dimmed for greater
control of brightness and darkness in different areas of the screen.
Since LEDs in a black area of the screen image can be
independently turned off,
local dimming can help to
considerably reduce power
consumption. This helps the
PN-A601 deliver signicantly
better contrast (up to
1,000,000:1 contrast ratio
with local dimming set to
HIGH) and brightness (up to
2,000 cd/m
2
) compared to
conventional LCD monitors,
while utilizing less power.
Breathtaking Image Quality
The PN-A601’s exceptional image quality comes from Sharp’s
industry leading LCD technologies. Sharp proprietary UV

A*
technology incorporated into the 60" class (60" diagonal) LCD
panel provides highly efcient use of light from the full-array LED
backlight while simultaneously preventing light leakage. The results
are exceptionally high quality images with bright whites, amazingly
vivid colors and extremely deep blacks. Sharp’s full-array LED
backlight, with LED elements evenly positioned across the entire
panel, helps ensure that Sharp multi-screen displays are bright,
beautiful and uniform. In addition, the PN-A601’s full HD resolution
of 1,920 (H) x 1,080 (V) pixels
helps guarantee everything from
ne text to intricate graphics are
stunningly crisp and clear.
* UV2A stands for “Ultraviolet-induced
Multi-domain Vertical Alignment,” a
photo-alignment technology that ensures
uniform alignment of liquid crystal
molecules in a certain direction.
Cross Flow Fan (option)
A rise in surface temperature on the LCD may hinder display
performance. The optional PN-ZF01 cross ow fan spreads
air across the monitor to help keep the monitor running cool
and efcient.
Dual Screen Display
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode allows an AV-sourced image to be
displayed within a PC-sourced one (or vice versa), while
Picture-by-Picture (PbyP) mode puts images from AV and PC
sources side by side for split-screen viewing.
Enlarge (Zoom) Display Mode
(for up to 25 Monitors)
The Enlarge (Zoom) display mode* can spread one image across up
to 25 monitors (in a 5 x 5 conguration) from a single PC, and
without the need for external processors. The Frame Width
Adjustment function virtually eliminates misalignment and helps
enhance the quality of the enlarged image on a multi-screen display.
* Used with PC and AV signal output on PN-A601.
Mirror Display Mode
(Daisy Chain)
With Mirror Display mode*, the same image can be
displayed on a daisy chain of PN-A601 monitors for the
powerful impact of visual repetition.
* Requires DVI-D cable.
Choice of Installation Mode
The PN-A601 offers the choice of landscape or portrait installation.
This allows customers to select the mode that best suits their
content and application.
Brightness Sensor
The brightness sensor function automatically adjusts backlight
brightness to complement surrounding ambient light levels. In dark
environments, backlight brightness automatically lowers, helping
provide optimal viewing, along with energy savings.
