Sharp Introduces Value-Priced, 4K Ultra HD Interactive Whiteboard Line

Three new AQUOS BOARD® interactive displays include premium features tailored for the classroom

MONTVALE, N.J., Sept. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation (SEC), announces the addition of three new value-priced, 4K Ultra HD, interactive whiteboards to the award-winning AQUOS BOARD interactive display line.

The new 70" Class (69 ½" diagonal) PN-CE701H, 75" Class (74 ½" diagonal) PN-C751H and 86" Class (85 9/16" diagonal) PN-C861H interactive displays are equipped with many standard features of the AQUOS BOARD interactive display line, plus some advanced features to make lectures, presentations or lessons more creative and collaborative.

Ultra HD 4K resolution allows instructors to grab students' attention by capturing still and video images, as well as small text and complex graphics. Additionally, wireless connectivity eliminates the need for tangled wires or adapters. Simply touching the screen allows a portable Windows® or Android™ device to immediately download an app that lets it send images wirelessly to the monitor. Front-facing inputs also add connectivity convenience. A built-in whiteboard and whiteboard launcher allow for instant note taking and drawing with a single tap. An overlay function allows instructors to annotate photos and videos directly on the screen to save and share.

"We are pleased to offer this innovative, visually stunning and easy-to-use line of interactive whiteboards for the classroom," said Gary Bailer, director of Product Management for Pro AV Products at Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America. "This line includes many of the advanced features typically found in our premium interactive displays, such as 4K Ultra HD resolution and wireless connectivity, but at a more affordable cost."

All three PN-C series AQUOS BOARD interactive displays are now available for shipment.
