- JapanNext 31.5-inch 6K panel increases pixel density for sharper interface elements
- 60Hz refresh and 8ms response focus on productivity consumption
- 500 nit brightness and 1500:1 contrast are suitable for standard office lighting
JapanNext has released the JN-IPS326K-HSPC9, a 31.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 6016 x 3384 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 look nicer, although the benefit depends heavily on scaling settings and view distance.
Designed for office environments
This business monitor operates at 60Hz with an 8ms response time, specs that indicate a focus on routine productivity rather than competitive gaming performance.
Brightness is rated at 500 nits and contrast at 1500:1, numbers in line with upper mid-range IPS office monitors 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 can vary depending on content and environmental lighting conditions.
This device supports a 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle, which is compliant with IPS technology and helps maintain stable colors across wider seating positions.
The display includes Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes, allowing two input sources to be displayed simultaneously within a single-screen workspace.
Flicker-free and low blue light settings are available for extended sessions, and HDCP support is provided across 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 that can deliver up to 90W of power.
A built-in KVM switch allows users to control multiple connected systems with one keyboard and mouse, which can simplify desktop arrangements involving separate devices.
Additional features include an audio output, integrated 2W speakers, compatibility with AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, and support for 75 x 75mm VESA mounting.
The stand supports tilt, swivel, height adjustment and pivot functions, providing flexibility for different seating positions and workspace layouts.
At €899, about $1,061, on JapanNext’s website, the JN-IPS326K-HSPC9 is among the more affordable 6K monitors currently available.
By comparison, Asus offers the ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV for $1,289.99 through Best Buy, with specs that include two Thunderbolt 4 ports and wider specified color coverage.
At a higher price point, Dell lists the UltraSharp 32 6K U3224KB for $2,499.99 on its US online store.
With JapanNext selling its own 27-inch 5K display for under €700, it’s no surprise that its latest display seriously undercuts the competition.
