JAPANNEXT has released two curved ultrawide gaming monitors on August 27, 2026, both built around 34-inch VA panels with an R1500 curvature and a 21:9 aspect ratio. The first model, the JN-EVC34G180-HS, is priced at 43,980 yen in direct sales, limited to online stores. The second, the JN-VC34G180-HS, carries a direct price of 49,980 yen. Both displays support UWQHD resolution (3440x1440), a 180Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms MPRT response time, with a 4000:1 contrast ratio. The monitors are positioned for games where wide field-of-view matters, such as FPS and MMO titles. Both support AdaptiveSync and a WQHD 120Hz connection with the PS5, plus HDR on the JN-VC34G180-HS. Each unit includes a height-adjustable stand with 100mm of travel and 30 degrees of swivel, two HDMI 2.0 ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, an audio output, and built-in 2W stereo speakers. The JN-EVC34G180-HS adds flicker-free and blue light reduction modes. Both carry a two-year manufacturer warranty.
The JN-EVC34G180-HS and JN-VC34G180-HS share most of their core specifications, but the price gap of 6,000 yen buys one notable feature difference. The cheaper JN-EVC34G180-HS does not list HDR support, while the JN-VC34G180-HS explicitly supports HDR for stronger light and dark contrast. Both panels run at 4000:1 contrast, which JAPANNEXT says suits users who value deep blacks.
Connectivity differs slightly in practice. The JN-VC34G180-HS drives 180Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 and caps HDMI 2.0 at 100Hz. The JN-EVC34G180-HS lists the same port set without specifying per-port refresh limits. Both support the PS5 at WQHD 120Hz, so home console users get the full refresh benefit on a high-resolution signal.
The UWQHD panel shows roughly 2.4 times the information of Full HD, which the company pitches for multitasking across a horizontal workspace as well as for games that depend on peripheral vision. Both models carry a two-year manufacturer warranty, a 75x75mm VESA mount, and a stand that adjusts 100mm in height and swivels 30 degrees each way.
