Review: Sharp’s Latest Informational Display Moves to the Head of the Class

Good digital signage is one of the best ways to impart critical information to viewers exactly when and where they need it. For colleges, informational displays can be used to provide everything from directions around campus to schedules for sports and entertainment events. And unlike static signage, good digital displays can be updated as often as needed and can even be centrally managed.


A project to implement digital signage across a campus can be stymied by two problems. First, it’s not usually possible to use common, noncommercial displays because they have no native management features and generally are not designed for a public environment where they are always powered on. The second problem is that most commercial displays specifically designed for such environments are extremely expensive, and buying even a few can quickly eat up budgets.


The Sharp PN-ME432 aims to tackle both of those problems. It’s a large-format, LED-backlit display with a brightness rating of 400 candelas per square meter, making for easy readability in daylight conditions or in rooms lit by standard overhead lighting. In fact, these displays are readable in most ambient light situations, as the panel is built to scatter incidental light instead of reflecting it back like lower-grade panels. The PN-ME432 should be quite readable in almost all cases.
