JAPANNEXT is an LCD monitor manufacturer that bears the name "JAPAN". The high cost performance of these products is remarkable. But why are they so cheap? However, there are some who ask, "Why is it so cheap? While Saiga NAK also featured product information, the actual situation was shrouded in mystery. Then we heard that JAPANNEXT was holding its first press conference since its establishment, so we went to the conference! We had a chance to experience products such as a 31.5-inch 6K monitor and a 3-in-1 wireless charger, which were unveiled for the first time, so let us introduce them to you!
Sneaking into JAPANNEXT's first press conference!
We sneaked into the press conference of JAPANNEXT, a company that sells a huge number of monitors! JAPANNEXT is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, but this is the first time for the company to hold such an event for the media. First, Representative Director Becker Samuel took the stage.
Mr. Samuel, who grew up in the south of France, was fascinated by Japanese culture such as video games and anime from an early age. He was initially involved in the import and export of electronics products, but he sold the business in 2015 with the funds he raised to start JAPANNEXT. With the funds, he founded JAPANNEXT.
JAPANNEXT plans, manufactures, and sells LCD monitors, and currently has more than 600 products in total. In 2024 alone, the company has developed at a threatening pace, announcing 166 products.
We have developed many products ranging from large 98-inch monitors to high refresh rate monitors, mobile monitors, and camera-equipped monitors. In addition to accessories such as monitor lights and monitor arms, the company also sells unusual products such as dual mobile displays.
Sales have increased tenfold in the last five years as a result of three initiatives: high value-added products, a flexible development and support system, and the proposal of unknown experiences. Sales are also increasing at mass retailers and e-commerce sites, and we have grown to the third place in the entire market (according to JAPANNEXT). JAPANNEXT aims to create a world where everyone can have a desk environment that is just right for them.
The headquarters of JAPANNEXT is located in Isumi City, Chiba Prefecture. The gymnasium was converted into a warehouse, and the music room into a relaxing space.
And then..! A surprise announcement was made of a sponsorship agreement with the professional gaming team "DetonatioN FocusMe. They are also eager to develop joint products, details of which will be revealed at a later date.
The company is also cooperating with e-sports teams and e-sports related facilities throughout Japan. In addition, as a sponsor, we are providing monitors to the France Pavilion at the current Osaka/Kansai Expo.
JAPANNEXT's new products were experienced in advance!
Here are the new products unveiled at the press conference!
3-in-1 charger "JN-CG-155Q3N1"
First, let's start with JAPANNEXT's first 3-in-1 charger, not a monitor. It can charge iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at the same time.
Compatible with Qi2 standard and can charge iPhone at up to 15W. When not charging Apple Watch or AirPods, the charging stand can be stored in the main unit. Coming soon.
4K Plus IPS Monitor "JN-282IPS4KP-HSP-C90W"
This is a monitor with a 28.2" 4K Plus resolution IPS panel with an aspect ratio of 3:2. The work area is approximately 1,18 times larger than that of a typical 16:9 4K monitor, allowing more comfortable use of spreadsheets and multiple windows. The strength of this monitor is that it is vertically long, so you can edit videos and images while displaying them natively in 4K.
The USB-C port, capable of outputting up to 90W, can be connected to a laptop with a single cable. It also supports KVM functionality and 100x100mm VESA mounting, and has built-in 3Wx2 speakers. This product is already on sale and is priced at 45,980 yen (tax included).

This is a 32:9 aspect ratio ultrawide curved gaming monitor with a 49-inch quantum dot OLED panel that supports Dual WQHD resolution. It supports a 144Hz refresh rate, which creates an image that seems to envelop the player. The USB-C port, which can output up to 90W, connects to a notebook PC with a single cable, making it suitable not only for gaming applications but also for video editing and other tasks. It is already on sale, priced at 199,800 yen (tax included).
6K Monitor (under development)
JAPANNEXT's first 6K monitor. Equipped with a 31.5-inch IPS panel, it features an extremely high resolution with no roughness at all even when approaching the screen. Above all, it is attractive for its unparalleled work space.
Currently, similar monitors in the Japanese market are limited to a very few, such as Apple's Pro Display XDR, but JAPANNEXT is aiming to sell them at less than half the price, compared to Apple's approximately 700,000 yen. Despite twists and turns in development, JAPANNEXT has managed to announce this product. The company aims to release the product in early 2026.
"JN-QOLC
Dual-screen monitor "JN-DMD-IPS14WX" for use on the go
Dual mobile display with two 14-inch WUXGA resolution IPS panels. It can be connected to a notebook PC with a single USB-C cable to create a 3-screen multi-display environment even when on the go.
When the two screens are not in use, they can be folded up to be carried compactly like a notebook PC. Weighing approximately 1.4 kg, it is equivalent to a typical 14-inch notebook PC. Sales will begin on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at a price of 39,980 yen (tax included).
Also available are dual mobile displays in "15.6", "18.5", and "23.8" sizes.

日本発の液晶モニターメーカーJAPANNEXT(@japannext1)が「Light Field（LF）」技術を応用したディスプレイを開発‼️
カメラ越しでも伝わる凄さ#JAPANNEXT #モニター pic.twitter.com/OzFEpyiHes— Saiga NAK (@saiganak) September 19, 2025
A monitor based on " Light Field (LF) " technology was also exhibited for reference at the exhibition. This is a monitor that can express reflections, with metallic parts of the image shimmering when it is shaken from side to side. Since it is necessary to prepare images in a dedicated format, it is not likely to be widely used by the general public, but it is likely to be in great demand for corporate use at exhibitions and museums.
Keep an eye on the future development of JAPANNEXT, which sells a wide variety of products, from monitors that emphasize cost performance to professional monitors that use the latest technology!
Extra
We also received a bamboo tumbler as a souvenir. It is not for sale, and was produced not at the reckless request of Mr. Samuel, who is a nature lover, but at his ardent request. The surface has the texture of bamboo, but the inside is stainless steel, which is excellent at keeping the temperature and keeping the drinks cool.
