The "Tokyo Game Show 2026" (hereinafter "TGS2026"), a gaming festival, was held over four days from Thursday, September 17, 2026, through Sunday, September 20, 2026.
In this report, we’ll take a look at the booth of " I-O DATA," the company behind the " GigaCrysta " gaming monitor brand!
Experience the latest high-performance models and concept models featuring cutting-edge technology at the “I-O Data” booth

At the booth, visitors could experience the monitors firsthand while actually playing games.
Titles available for hands-on play included "GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink - Endless Ragnarok," "Persona 4 Revival," and "Final Fantasy Resonance."
It’s a hidden gem where you can take your time trying out popular games and pre-release titles.
The " LCD-GDQ271ULAQ " series, the latest model of the "GigaCrysta S," was showcased as a reference exhibit at TGS 2026.
This high-end model features a 27-inch WQHD (2,560 × 1,440) Mini LED panel and supports a 320Hz refresh rate.
Its vibrant color reproduction makes it ideal not only for open-world RPGs but also for FPS titles, making it a versatile choice.
It comes in two colors—black and white—and the cables are color-coordinated to match.
I had the impression that most “GigaCrysta” monitors were black, but according to a company representative, “Since white desk setups have become popular in recent years, we want to expand our lineup of white monitors as well.”
As someone who loves white gadgets, this makes me very happy.
Also on display as a reference exhibit was the “EX-GDU171AD” series, the latest model from “GCFX,” a brand focused on value for money.
It supports dual modes: 4K (3,840 × 2,160) at 75 Hz and FHD (1,920 × 1,080) at 300 Hz.
With its just-right 27-inch size, it seems like a great fit for people who play both the Switch 2 and PC games.
A time attack session for "Sonic Racing Cross Worlds" was being held on this monitor.
Concept models featuring the latest technology were also on display!
Saiga NAKThe booth also featured concept models currently in development.
This display supports a refresh rate of 1,000Hz.
A demo was being held where visitors could experience the difference between 60Hz, 120Hz, and 1,000Hz displays.
When compared side-by-side, the 1,000Hz display offered a level of smoothness that was in a completely different league—so much so that motion blur was noticeable even at 120Hz.
Next to it was a gaming mobile display on display.
It’s said to be convenient for displaying Discord and launcher apps side by side.
A gaming mobile monitor featuring WQHD (2,560 × 1,440) resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.
It seems there are still very few mobile monitors available that support both high resolution and high refresh rates.
Being able to carry a monitor with these specs anywhere is quite appealing.
An ultra-wide gaming monitor with DQHD (5,120×1,440) resolution and an OLED panel.
The screen fills your entire field of view, creating an incredible sense of immersion in racing games...!
Also on display were “AI monitors,” which use AI to automatically adjust to optimal picture quality, and monitors with 5K (5,120 × 2,880) MiniLED panels.
It’ll be interesting to see how these developments are reflected in future product lineups.
They were also conducting a survey for “GigaCrysta” users, and by answering it, you could receive a free gift.
The acrylic monitor stand is just too cute...!
