What is JAPANNEXT?

JAPANNEXT is a Japanese company with its headquarters in Isumi, Chiba Prefecture. It was founded in 2006 and is a relatively new company.

Their main product is monitors, and they sell not only gaming monitors but also mobile monitors. They also sell arms and wall mounts to allow more flexible placement of monitors.

Features of JN-238Gi144FHDR-HSP

23.8-inch full HD IPS panel with a refresh rate of 144Hz

First, regarding the basic performance, the screen size is a standard 23.8 inches, the resolution is Full HD (1920 x 1080), the panel is an IPS panel, and the refresh rate is 144Hz.

Although it is not as high resolution as QHD or 4K, Full HD is still a sufficient resolution, and while the price of a 4K-compatible monitor can rise dramatically, Full HD has the advantage of significantly reducing costs.

The panel uses an IPS panel with good color reproduction. Compared to the TN panel, which makes the screen look whitish, it has the advantage of having better colors and a clearer screen, but the disadvantage is that it is a little more expensive.

More and more games these days feature open worlds, so if you want to enjoy gaming even more, we recommend an IPS panel.

The higher the refresh rate, the smoother and more beautiful the image will look. It might be a good idea to think of it as increasing the number of pages in a flip book. Some monitors have particularly high refresh rates, such as 240Hz and 360Hz, but the price will increase significantly, just like the resolution.

Supports 120Hz output for PlayStation5

Some of JAPANNEXT's previous products had refresh rates of over 120Hz, but were not compatible with the PS5's 120Hz output. However, the JN-238Gi144FHDR-HSP has been publicly announced as being compatible with the PS5's 120Hz.

This makes it a recommended monitor for PS5 gamers.

Stable refresh rate with FreeSync

While playing a game, if the refresh rate changes suddenly on the screen, a problem called tearing, which causes the image to shift, may occur.

To prevent this tearing, there is a technology called variable refresh rate, and FreeSync is one of them.

As a result, even when playing games with rapid changes in refresh rate, the smoothness of the image remains stable and you can play comfortably.

Compatible with HDR (High Dynamic Range)

HDR is a term that expresses the range of brightness that a monitor can express. In the past, the standard was SDR, but recently more and more monitors are compatible with HDR.

With SDR, it was difficult to adjust the brightness, making it difficult to see dark areas and causing bright areas to become blown out. However, with HDR, the brightness is accurately expressed, so the screen looks clear and eye-catching. It also reduces the burden on you.

However, if the connected device, such as a game console, does not support HDR, the monitor's HDR function will not work. Even if it is compatible, it may not work unless you change the settings, so please be careful.

Equipped with FPS counter function

There is also an FPS counter feature that will display the FPS value in the top right corner of the screen.

It constantly displays the fluctuating FPS value, so you can check whether the FPS is stable while playing the game.

It could also be used to find out things like what FPS a game has, or how much the FPS drops when a certain effect is displayed.

Overdrive function for faster response

You can also change the response speed, which can be changed by changing a setting called overdrive.

There are four options to choose from: OFF, Low, Middle, and High. OFF provides normal response speed, while High provides the fastest possible response.

When playing games with intense on-screen action, it may be best to set it to Medium or High.

Tilt and swivel functions allow you to adjust the angle

The tilt function allows you to adjust the angle of the screen up and down, and can be changed within a range of -5° to +20°. This function is necessary when the monitor angle is not comfortable due to the height of the desk or chair.

On the other hand, the swivel function allows you to adjust the angle to the left and right by 45°. I think it's rare to find a monitor with a swivel function.

Height adjustable and 90° rotation

Not only the angle but also the height can be adjusted, and it can be raised by up to 130mm. This is a convenient function that allows you to adjust it to your eye level.

You can also rotate the screen 90 degrees to portrait mode. I don't think you'll use it that often, but it's a handy feature that makes it easier to see when you're surfing the web.

Compatible with VESA mount and can be attached with an arm

You can also attach an arm to the back, which is recommended for those who want to use the arm to set it up freely instead of at the back of the desk.

The arm is sold separately, so if you need it you will need to purchase it separately.

Equipped with two HDMI ports

It has two HDMI ports that can be switched between, making it perfect for those who want to connect multiple devices.

Besides HDMI, there are two DisplayPorts, an audio jack, and a port for the power cable.

The official price is 25,480 yen

The official price is 25,480 yen.

It may seem a little expensive, but considering that it comes with features such as height adjustment, I think the price is reasonable.
