for superb visibility—even in brightly lit
indoor settings. e PN-A601 also
provides exceptionally detailed displays via
full high denition and delivers everything
with the high energy eciency of an LED
backlight and 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.

reduction will vary depending on the images displayed.
Brilliantly Bright and Visible
With its ultra-high brightness of 2,000 cd/m
2
, the PN-A601
performs beautifully as eye-catching digital signage in ofce
complexes, hotels, public spaces, shop windows, and many other
types of brightly lit interiors. And while the PN-A601 can give vivid
display to superb-quality images even in sun-washed indoor
settings, high contrast makes those brilliant images clearly visible
from afar.
High Contrast and Superb Energy Efficiency
The PN-A601 owes much of its outstanding black levels, amazing
contrast, and superb energy efciency to local dimming of the
LED backlight. Local dimming allows specic groups of LEDs to be
independently dimmed or brightened for greater control of the
darkness and brightness in
different areas of the monitor,
resulting in considerably
reduced power consumption.
That’s why the PN-A601 can
deliver signicantly better
contrast and brightness than
conventional LCD monitors
while using remarkably less
power!
Breathtaking Image Quality
The PN-A601’s exceptional image quality comes from Sharp’s own
industry-leading LCD technologies. Sharp UV
2
A* technology,
incorporated into the 60-inch LCD panel, ensures highly efcient
use of light from the backlight and prevents light leakage for the
display of truly bright whites, amazingly vivid colours, and
extremely deep blacks. And Sharp’s full-array LED backlight,
sporting LED elements evenly positioned across the entire panel,
gives PN-A601 images remarkably uniform brightness. Even better,
the PN-A601 boasts 1,920 (H) x 1,080 (V)-pixel full-HD resolution,
ensuring that none of the detail or visual impact is lost. Thanks to
full-HD resolution, everything from
ne text to intricate graphics is
stunningly crisp and clear.
* UV
2
A stands for “Ultraviolet-induced
Multi-domain Vertical Alignment,” a
photo-alignment technology that ensures
uniform alignment of liquid crystal
molecules in a certain direction.
Crossflow Fan*
(option)
A rise in surface temperature on the LCD monitor may hinder
proper display. To prevent this from happening, the optional
PN-ZF01 Crossow Fan spreads a curtain of air across the monitor
that keeps the temperature from rising.
* Availability depends on region.
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
Multiple monitors can be grouped together to display one enlarged
image, thanks to Enlarge (Zoom) Display mode*, which corrects the
framing of that image to eliminate misalignment between monitors.
* 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 a choice of landscape or portrait installation,
allowing customers to select the mode that best suits their display
content and application.
Brightness Sensor
The Brightness Sensor function ensures clear visibility by
automatically adjusting backlight brightness to complement
surrounding brightness levels. In dark surroundings, backlight
brightness automatically lowers, providing optimal viewing and
energy savings as well.
PN-ZR01 Control Kit
(sold separately)
The PN-ZR01 is composed of a
remote control unit and a remote
control sensor box. The sensor box
can function as a supplementary
brightness sensor.
24/7 Operation
The PN-A601 is rugged enough for continuous 24/7 operation in
demanding professional applications.
Environmentally Friendly Design
The PN-A601 conforms to the RoHS Directive restricting the use of
hazardous substances.
