Sharp PN-ME502 50" UHD 4K HDR Commercial Monitor

Powerful System-on-Chip Design to Fit Your Signage Needs

The Sharp/NEC ME Series of displays are focused on bringing high-powered, integrated, and easy-to-use media playback to the user while maintaining the proven reliability and quality of the previous products. The ME series provides a reliable mainstream display to fit all of your digital signage needs. The flexible system-on-chip platform not only allows for high-end media playback via USB or internal storage, but since these products are powered by Android 13, they also allow the ability to install separate Android apps if a third-party application is needed.

UHD 4K HDR Visual Quality

By supporting native 3840 x 2160 resolution with full HDR compatibility, imagery and messaging will be more vivid and lifelike than with Full HD. These high-haze panels scatter incidental light that would otherwise take away from messaging shown on the display. This allows your message to be clear and visible in areas where ambient light would usually take away from what really matters most: your content.

Full Commercial Build

A full metal chassis allows for the ruggedness needed for true commercial environments while integrated carrying handles reduce the likelihood of damage during installation. On top of that, an integrated temperature sensor allows you to monitor internal temperatures in real time. The newly designed mechanical build is focused on maintaining reliability while reducing the overall weight of each model up to 33% compared to predecessor models. Additionally, these products have an even bezel design along all four sides meaning that the focus will always be on the content on the screen when in either portrait or landscape orientation.

Home Screen Launcher

The MultiSync PN-ME502 boots up into a home screen that gives you visual access to apps, key settings, and input changes right from the start. Integrated web browser functionality can be used for internet access and streaming, and File Explorer can be used for navigating through internal or external storage drives. The integrated Media Player gives you access to load files to internal storage or play via USB, while content can be scheduled and playlists can be built dependent on when your display is running and what content needs to be shown.

Input Detect Functionality and Failover

This feature allows for the user to prioritize up to three inputs so that if a primary source goes down, the display will automatically switch to whatever input has been prioritized next. The first detect option also allows for the display to automatically turn onto any source that plugs into it, allowing the display to wake on any synced signal.

Center IR Receiver

An IR receiver is located behind the panel allowing protective overlays or touch to be integrated over the top without needing to worry about how to extend IR for control. An IR input is also available for custom installations.

Control Protocol Support

The new Sharp/NEC MultiSync PN-ME502 contains protocol support for both NEC and Sharp legacy products. This means that if you have to replace either an NEC or Sharp product from a previous install, these units can be seamlessly flipped into an existing infrastructure. On top of this, these units support other various protocols dependent on the needs of the application.

NaViSet Administrator 2

NaViSet Administrator 2 is included in all Sharp and NEC MultiSync ME series models. This software is an all-in-one remote support solution that runs from a central location and provides monitoring, asset management, and control functionality of Sharp and NEC display devices and Windows computers. It is ideal for multi-device installations over arrays as it allows for task management, reporting, and on-demand control options. Control your entire Sharp and NEC ecosystem through this free optional asset management software.
