I-O DATA DEVICES, INC. is a regular exhibitor at Tokyo Game Show 2024 (TGS 2024), one of the world's largest game festivals. Headquartered in Ishikawa Prefecture, the company is active in the gaming industry, opening its facilities for e-sports events. The company's gaming monitors under the " GigaCrysta " brand are highly reputed, and new products were also on display at TGS2024. I would like to report on the booth of I-O DATA DEVICE!
WQHD 240Hz "LCD-GCQ271UD
The "LCD-GCQ271UD," scheduled for release in mid-October of this year, is a 27-inch gaming monitor with WQHD resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz. While the specifications alone may not seem unusual, this product is equipped with a gimmick unique to this product.
While most monitor stands are limited in their range of motion and cannot be moved much, the LCD-GCQ271UD is extremely flexible and can be adjusted to any angle. For those who want to have dual monitors but have limited space on their desks, this is a great hope.
Focus Mode function allows switching between 27" and 24" monitors.
This mode allows the user to focus on the display area equivalent to a 24-inch monitor by displaying an illusory depiction in a black frame. This function was developed based on a research paper by Satoshi Nakamura, a full-time professor at Meiji University, and was perfected with Nakamura as a technical advisor.
I-O Plaza, I-O DATA's direct sales e-commerce site, is selling it for 75,900 yen (tax included). If you are interested, please make a reservation!
Gigacrysta dyed in white
In recent years, black is the de facto standard for monitors, but there is also a demand for "white" monitors for the desk area! There is also a demand for "white! GIGACRYSTA's product lineup has been mainly black, but we have finally introduced a white-colored gaming monitor!
It's so... white..! At the white device corner, visitors could try out the HD-2D version of Dragon Quest 3. While there was an hour-long wait at the Square Enix booth, there was almost no wait at this booth.
Visitors' autograph board!
Gigacrysta is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and there was an autograph board at the booth where visitors could leave their autographs in celebration of the 10th anniversary, and many celebrities left their autographs! It seemed like it came out recently, but it's already the 10th anniversary...! It was very touching!
Extra
An I-O Data heirloom? The foundations used in their old products were on display. I heard that they brought it from their headquarters for this TGS2024.
That's all! This was the I-O DATA booth report for TGS2024!
