2. It features a resolution of 3840 x 2560 and offers 178° viewing angles with 100% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 color coverage.
3. The monitor has removed the 90 W USB-C charging feature from its predecessor, but retains dual DisplayPort 1.4 and dual HDMI 2.0 ports for connectivity.

We previously discussed monitors from JapanNext, a company that mainly caters to customers in Japan and Europe. Now, they’ve introduced a new product that features a unique aspect ratio aimed at specific users.
New Monitor Release
The JapanNext JN-282IPS4KP-HSP is a continuation of its similar-sized predecessor but has removed an important feature – the 90 W USB-C charging. Other than this change, the 28.2-inch 3:2 monitor remains quite similar, offering a resolution of 3840 x 2560. It also includes a pair of 3W speakers.
With an IPS panel in use, this monitor promises good viewing angles. The company advertises 178° viewing angles alongside 100% coverage of the sRGB color space, 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and a maximum brightness of 340 nits. It’s worth noting that high-refresh rates are not included, which is typical for a monitor meant for office tasks.
User Experience
However, the claims from JapanNext will need confirmation from independent reviewers before we can take them at face value.
The distinctive aspect ratio provides ample vertical space, allowing users to efficiently navigate through spreadsheets and documents. As shown in the image above, a 28.2-inch 3:2 display is basically an extended version of a 27-inch 16:9 display.
Connectivity and Adjustments
For connectivity, the monitor includes dual DisplayPort 1.4 and dual HDMI 2.0 ports. Users can adjust the tilt, height, swivel, and even rotate it 90°.
Currently, this monitor is on sale in Japan for 40,980 Yen, which is approximately $262. A launch in the United States seems unlikely, although there are other options with a 3:2 aspect ratio available, like the BenQ RD280U, which you can find for $570 on Amazon.
