PN-A601
LCD MONITOR
60 Inches of Unprecedented Brightness
and Stunning High Definition
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.
For compelling digital signage in shopping
centres, transportation hubs, and more, the
PN-A601 comes highly recommended.
This 60-inch professional LCD monitor
offers ultra-high brightness of 2,000 cd/m2
for superb visibility—even in brightly lit
indoor settings. The PN-A601 also
provides exceptionally detailed displays via
full high definition and delivers everything
with the high energy efficiency of an LED
backlight and local dimming.
Brilliantly Bright and Visible
High Contrast and Superb Energy Efficiency
With its ultra-high brightness of 2,000 cd/m2, the PN-A601
performs beautifully as eye-catching digital signage in office
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.
Breathtaking Image Quality
The PN-A601’s exceptional image quality comes from Sharp’s own
industry-leading LCD technologies. Sharp UV2A* technology,
incorporated into the 60-inch LCD panel, ensures highly efficient
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
fine text to intricate graphics is
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.
The PN-A601 owes much of its outstanding black levels, amazing
contrast, and superb energy efficiency to local dimming of the
LED backlight. Local dimming allows specific 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 significantly better
contrast and brightness than
conventional LCD monitors
while using remarkably less
power!

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.

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.

PN-ZR01 Control Kit (sold separately)
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.
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.

control unit
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.
Remote control
sensor box
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 Crossflow Fan spreads a curtain of air across the monitor
that keeps the temperature from rising.
* Availability depends on region.
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.
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.
