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. Sharp will showcase its award-winning 70″ class and its upcoming 80″ class (79.5″ diagonal) 8K models. […]

We’re at a point with monitors that a 70-inch unit doesn’t even sound all that big anymore, but it’s a bit different when it is a monitor to use as one of many as a video wall. Sharp will start shipping this month a 70-inch display – the PN-V701 – built for 24/7 video walls. […]
