Sharp Unveils Professional HD LCD Monitors

Expanding its broad line of professional LCD monitors, Sharp has announced the new TL monitor line, a full 1,920×1080 2-megapixel high-definition (HD) resolution series.

The new series, including the 52-inch class TL-M5200 and the 46-inch class TL-M4600, offers high image quality, features and performance at a competitive price point.

They are ideal for use in a wide range of settings, including teleconferencing, CAD/simulation, digital signage, corporate, educational, training, hospitality, sports arenas, entertainment and house-of-worship.

The TL series features a new thin, lightweight cabinet design for easy installation as well as RJ-45 LAN control for increased network connectivity.

To ensure reliable operation and backlight life, Sharp has optimized the internal cooling with a unique fanless design and backlight system.

The TL Monitor series has a response time of less than 6ms, as well as high brightness and wide 176 degree viewing angles while maintaining low power consumption.

The monitors feature 1500:1 (TL-M4600) and 2000:1 (TL-M5200) contrast ratio.

The new TL monitor series has an array of input connectors to show all types of content, from DVD to varying PC resolutions from both analog and digital (DVI-D) sources for all types of presentations.

The monitors include an HDCP compatible HDMI input for access to premium HD content, as well as a built-in Web browser.

The monitors are designed for landscape mode use, and also offer an optional stereo speaker system, which attaches across the bottom of the display, for enhanced audio during presentations.

The TL-M5200 is available now for a manufacturer's suggested list price (MSLP) of US$4,995. The TL-M4600 will be available in June for a MSLP of US$3,995.
