- 31.5-inch JapanNext 6K panel increases pixel density for sharper interface elements
- 60Hz refresh and 8ms response focused on productivity use
- 500 nits brightness and 1500:1 contrast are suitable for standard office lighting
JapanNext has launched the JN-IPS326K-HSPC9, a 31.5-inch IPS monitor with 6016 x 3384 resolution aimed primarily at home and office users.
This resolution exceeds the 3840 x 2160 pixel count commonly associated with 4K displays, resulting in a pixel pitch of 0.1159mm on this panel size.
In practical terms, this density means that text and interface elements can appear thinner, although the benefit depends largely on scaling settings and viewing distance.
Designed for office environments
This professional monitor runs at 60Hz with an 8ms response time, specifications that indicate a focus on routine productivity rather than competitive gaming performance.
Brightness is rated at 500 nits and contrast at 1,500:1, numbers that match the upper mid-range IPS desktop displays currently available, and the panel covers 100% of the sRGB color space and 96% of DCI-P3, with support for HDR10 content.
While these numbers suggest suitability for photo or video editing, HDR performance on edge-lit IPS panels may vary depending on content and ambient lighting conditions.
This device supports 178 degrees horizontal and vertical viewing angle, which complies with IPS technology and helps maintain stable colors across wider seating positions.
The monitor includes Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes, allowing two input sources to be displayed simultaneously in a workspace on a single screen.
Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light settings are available for extended sessions, and HDCP support is provided on HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C connections.
Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 connection, and a USB-C 3.1 interface capable of delivering up to 90W of power.
An integrated KVM switch allows users to control multiple connected systems with a single keyboard and mouse, which can simplify office organization involving separate devices.
Additional features include audio output, built-in 2W speakers, compatibility with AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, and support for VESA 75 x 75mm mounting.
The stand supports tilt, swivel, height adjustment and swivel functions, providing flexibility for different seating positions and workspace configurations.
At €899, or about $1,061, on the JapanNext website, the JN-IPS326K-HSPC9 is among the most affordable 6K monitors currently available.
For comparison, Asus offers the ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV for $1,289.99 via Best Buy, with specs that include dual Thunderbolt 4 ports and wider color coverage.
At a higher price point, Dell offers the UltraSharp 32 6K U3224KB for $2,499.99 on its US online store.
Given that JapanNext sells its own 27-inch 5K monitor for less than $700, it’s no surprise that its latest monitor seriously undercuts the competition.
