At DSE 2019, Sharp’s big highlight will be how its displays are settling in nicely with 4K resolution, but already looking forward to eye-popping 8K.

The options for all-in-one displays continues to broaden, with Sharp announcing a partnership with AOPEN that allows a small Windows 10-based media player to be slot-loaded in a 4K screen.

ISE is now in full roar in a wet and now chilly Amsterdam.

It looks like Sharp will join the swelling ranks of big display manufacturers selling professional monitors with System on Chip players built inside. […]
