Japannext Launches Retro-Style Gaming Monitor With Modern Specs

The $200 monitor combines 1980s-inspired design with a 180Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync support, but it is unlikely to see a North American release.

  • Japannext's JN-V236G180F-RETRO monitor features a 23.6-inch 1080p VA panel with a 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time.
  • The design mimics vintage TVs with thick off-white bezels, functional dials for volume and brightness, and a monochrome mode for added nostalgia.
  • The monitor is equipped with AMD FreeSync, 120Hz PlayStation 5 compatibility, and additional features like a blue light filter and flicker-free technology.
  • Priced at approximately $200, it will be available in Japan starting Friday and in select European markets, with no plans for a U.S. release.
  • While its specs are not top-tier, the monitor aims to appeal to retro gaming enthusiasts seeking a blend of modern functionality and nostalgic aesthetics.
