- 31.5-inch JapanNext 6K panel increases pixel density for sharper interface elements
- 60Hz refresh and 8ms response focus on productivity usage
- 500 nits brightness and 1500:1 contrast suitable for standard office lighting
JapanNext has launched the JN-IPS326K-HSPC9, a 31.5-inch IPS monitor 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 size of 0.1159mm on this panel size.
In practical terms, that density means that text and interface elements can appear thinner, although the benefit depends largely on the scale settings and viewing distance.
Designed for office environments
This business monitor runs 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, figures that align with upper mid-range IPS office displays currently available, and the panel covers 100% of the sRGB and 96% of DCI-P3 color space, with support for HDR10 content.
While those 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 a 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle, which is consistent with IPS technology and helps maintain stable colors in wider seating positions.
The monitor 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 long sessions, and HDCP support is provided via 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.
A built-in KVM switch allows users to control multiple connected systems with one keyboard and mouse, which can simplify desktop layouts that involve separate devices.
Additional features include an audio output, built-in 2W speakers, AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync support, and 75 x 75mm VESA mounting support.
The stand supports tilt, swivel, height adjustment and pivot functions, offering flexibility for different seating positions and workspace layouts.
At 899 euros, about $1,061, on JapanNext’s 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 through Best Buy, with specs including two Thunderbolt 4 ports and wider color coverage.
At a higher price, 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 outperforms the competition.
