Sharp’s new PN-Y Series display is available in 55-inch, 47-inch, 42-inch or 32-inch sizes with a 1920×1080 native resolution, LED-lit LCD. A built-in USB media player allows playback of still images and videos stored on a connected USB memory device and users can set up the system to play slideshows of promotional or informational content without using a PC. Each monitor can be assigned an individual ID code to be easily controlled from a central location via a PC (in a daisy chain configuration). A fan-less architecture facilitates maintenance without attracting dust and noise, and a built-in sensor detects rising temperatures inside the monitor.

- PN-Y325: 32-inch class; currently available at $995
