Who is JAPANNEXT?
Manufacturer JAPANNEXT has earned an excellent reputation in Japan, since 2016. The company was founded by French entrepreneur Samuel Becker who, after graduating from Keio University, began exporting electronics and portable video consoles, before setting up a company specializing in gaming screens. Video games have always been part of JAPANNEXT’s DNA, and this range, now arriving in Europe, shows just how much they want to appeal to gamers, and to other users…
JAPANNEXT monitors are popular in Japan, appealing not only to gamers, but also to professionals thanks to the latest technologies built into their screens. All models are equipped with IPS (In-Plane Switching) panels that offer better viewing angles and excellent color accuracy. These professional PC monitors are just as suitable for image editing, photography, video editing and multimedia. What’s more, the entire range features a Low Blue Light filter to reduce eye fatigue. They are ideal for gamers and people who spend a lot of time in front of their screens, considerably reducing eyestrain.
Ultra-wide 21:9 screens for gaming and professionals
JAPANNEXT offers ultra-wide screens in 21:9 format, from 95 to 101cm. They offer a large workspace and can display several windows side by side. These monitors are particularly useful for professionals who need to work on several tasks simultaneously. They’re also ideal for graphic designers, developers, traders and any job that requires a lot of open windows.
Gaming performance hasn’t been forgotten, with refresh rates ranging from 60 to 144Hz. With support for AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, they guarantee synchronization between the display and graphics card. The result is a consistently smooth, tear-free image, ideal for video games.
These monitors support HDR content, enabling a wider range of contrast to be displayed, resulting in brighter, more realistic colors. The brightness spectrum is therefore improved, with brighter whites and deeper blacks. It also displays more detail in light and dark zones, resulting in a sharper, more immersive image.
