Sharp Imaging and Information Co. of America, a division of Sharp Electronics Corp., announced it has expanded its PN-V video wall series with the launch of its second 55-inch class (54.6-inch diagonal) PN-V550 LED ultraslim-bezel professional monitor. With a bezel-to-bezel width of just 3.5 mm and up to 500 cd/m2 brightness, the PN-V550 display is nearly 40 percent lighter and 40 percent more energy efficient than the Sharp 60-inch Class PN-V600A Professional Video Wall Display, and features Sharp's Uniform Color Calibration Technology.

Sharp said UCCT is the industry's only factory calibration process that delivers out-of-the box pixel-to-pixel color uniformity between multiple video wall monitors -- encompassing chromatic intensity, luminance and hue.

"Recognizing the difficulty installers face performing color calibration with video wall displays, Sharp is proud to launch a new 55-inch class video wall platform offering incredible out-of-box color and brightness uniformity," said Mike Marusic, senior vice president, marketing, operations and services, SIICA. "With UCCT, Sharp has taken the guesswork out of laborious and time consuming software calibrations, ensuring a superb picture every time."

The PN-V550 monitor combines full HD (1,920-by-1,080-pixel) resolution with a display brightness of up to 500 cd/m2 to deliver bright and detailed images. Additionally, four PN-V550 monitors set up in a two-by-two configuration will enable users to display every pixel of native 4K UHD (3,840-by-2,160-pixel) content on the equivalent of a 110-inch class screen, the company said.
