Japannext's new JN-IPST215F-HSPC6-W touchscreen monitor has gone on sale in Japan at ¥34,980 through its official store. Amazon Japan lists the 21.5-inch model for ¥31,859. Availability outside Japan has not been announced.

The white monitor combines a glossy IPS (ADS) panel with Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. It runs at 75Hz, with maximum brightness of 220 nits, sRGB coverage of 100% and a contrast ratio of 1,000:1. Windows users can navigate content with their fingers, with support for as many as 10 simultaneous touch points.

USB-C carries video and enables touch input while supplying compatible laptops with up to 65W of power through one cable. Touch input over an HDMI or DisplayPort connection requires an additional USB-A-to-USB-B cable linking the computer and display.

Connections also comprise DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, USB-B and two USB-A 2.0 ports. A built-in KVM function enables a keyboard and mouse to serve two connected computers. AdaptiveSync, FreeSync, flicker-free technology and a blue-light reduction mode are supported.

The stand supports portrait positioning alongside adjustments for height, tilt and swivel. The display also accommodates a 100 x 100mm VESA mount and includes two speakers rated at 2W each.
