PN-LM431

What the Sharp PN-LM431 is built to do

The Sharp PN-LM431 is a 43-inch class interactive display for small meeting rooms, huddle spaces and touch-enabled signage. Its built-in System on Chip runs Android 14, so the whiteboard, PDF and Office viewer, file manager and web browser are available directly on the screen. There is no separate computer to buy, hide or manage, which suits teams that want a room ready the moment people walk in.

Panel and touch facts that matter in a bright room

The VA panel offers 3,840 x 2,160 pixels with 500 cd/m² brightness and a typical contrast ratio of 4000:1. Its thermally tempered cover glass is 3.1 mm thick, rated 9H, and uses zero bonding with an anti-glare coating, which reduces reflections when daylight or ceiling lights fall across the screen. The infrared touch layer registers up to 20 touches with an accuracy of ±1 mm and works with fingers, gloves and the two passive styluses included in the box.

Two details deserve attention before purchase. The source data lists no palm rejection, so presenters should be briefed to lift their hand while writing. Windows Ink is supported, and touch works on Android, Linux, Raspberry Pi and Windows, while Mac OS is limited to single touch.

Connections for laptops, cameras and signage

• USB-C 1 accepts video, touch signal and audio input, with DP alt mode 1.4 and up to 65 W of power for a notebook, so one cable can handle bring-your-own-device meetings.
• Three HDMI inputs support UHD at 60 Hz with HDCP 2.3, and HDMI IN 3 adds ARC for sound from a connected device.
• Three USB 3.0 ports take peripherals or USB storage and switch automatically between the Android SoC, an OPS module and a PC.
• Wireless sharing through EShare works without apps or dongles, with IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax support, WPA3 Enterprise and Bluetooth 5.3.
• LAN at 100 Mbit/s, RS-232C at 9600 bps and a 3.5 mm remote-in port for the optional Eco Sensor.

Where it fits in Qatar

In an office in West Bay or Msheireb, a 43-inch panel suits a huddle room where four to eight people share one screen and a digital whiteboard. A private school in Al Wakrah or Education City can use the touch layer and annotation overlay in a classroom, with up to 20 simultaneous touch points for group activities. A clinic or hotel lobby in Al Sadd or near Hamad International Airport can use portrait orientation and application lock for wayfinding and information, with the side bars hidden.

Heat, power and installation conditions

The operating range is +5 to +35 °C with 20 to 80 percent humidity, so this panel belongs in indoor, air-conditioned rooms. Outdoor summer temperatures in Qatar regularly pass 45 °C, so keep the screen away from direct sun through windows and confirm the location with the SmartRooms Qatar team before fixing it. The power supply accepts 100-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains, with typical consumption of 110 W and below 0.5 W in ECO standby.

Planning the mount and the order

The panel weighs 21 kg and measures 994 x 582 x 73 mm, with a 400 x 400 mm VESA pattern using M6 fixings. Optional accessories include the PDW S 32-65 L and P wall mount, the PD04 Tipster trolley, feet (ST-43M) and a soundbar (PN-ZCMS1). Before wall-mounting a panel of this weight, SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check wall structure and cable routes. The warranty is three years including the backlight, with an optional fourth and fifth year extension. For several rooms, one quotation can cover every unit, and orders can follow a purchase order (LPO) or government tender, with payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.
