JAPANNEXT Adds 31.5-Inch 6K IPS Monitor to Its Portfolio

JAPANNEXT has expanded its portfolio with a new 31.5-inch monitor, named the JN-IPS326K-HSPC9 featuring 6K (6016 Γ— 3384) resolution. The IPS panel with its 60 Hz, 8 ms response time, and E-LED backlighting is certainly suited towards home and office work rather than gaming. Pixel pitch is listed at 0.1159 mm, delivering a noticeably sharper image than standard 4K displays at this size. Brightness is rated at 500 nits, with a 1500:1 contrast ratio. The monitor covers 100% of the sRGB color space, 96% DCI-P3, and includes HDR 10 support. Viewing angles are specified at 178Β° horizontally and vertically, typical for an IPS panel.

The monitor comes with Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture options. These features can be useful for people who need to work with content from different sources at the same time. It also has Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light settings, HDCP support for DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB-C, and a built-in KVM switch. For connections, you'll find two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C 3.1 port that can deliver up to 90 W of power. There is also an audio output and built-in 2 W speakers, and compatibility with AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync. The stand supports tilt, swivel, height, and pivot adjustments. VESA mounting (75 Γ— 75 mm) is also available. The JAPANNEXT JN-IPS326K-HSPC9 monitor is currently listed at €1,399 on the company's official website.

(PR) Razer Unveils the Huntsman Signature Edition Keyboard

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Huntsman Signature Edition, a flagship keyboard created for users who want both peak performance and a refined desktop centerpiece. Positioned at the very top of Razer's keyboard portfolio, the Huntsman Signature Edition distills years of research in switch technology, acoustics, and materials into a single, meticulously crafted form.

EIZO Is Working on Its First OLED ColorEdge Monitor

EIZO is preparing its first OLED monitor under the ColorEdge series, targeting professional 4K HDR and SDR workflows. The 31.5-inch panel features a 3840 Γ— 2160 resolution, HDR support, a claimed 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio, and an anti-glare, low-reflection (AGLR) surface. To address the usual OLED ABL (Auto Brightness Limiter) behavior, which can dim the entire image during bright scenes, EIZO says it uses higher luminance thresholds to reduce unnecessary dimming and better preserve mid-tones. Two modes are available: Highlight Dimming, which mainly tones down bright areas, and Uniform Dimming, which lowers brightness evenly across the screen. A blue status LED indicator shows when luminance control is active.

The display also integrates EIZO's built-in calibration sensor for automated color maintenance and includes a dedicated circuit to reduce color fringing on high-contrast edges. This is particularly useful when displaying text as this will appear cleaner and clearer. The monitor will be shown at the NAB Show 2026 (April 19-22, Las Vegas) and MPTS 2026 (May 13-14, London), two of the world's premier events for media, production, and broadcast. Pricing and availability have not been announced.

SoftBank and AMD Validate GPU Partitioning for AI Workloads Using Instinct GPUs

SoftBank and AMD have started joint validation of AMD Instinct GPUs for next-generation AI infrastructure by focusing on a GPU partitioning mechanism that lets a single GPU handle multiple AI workloads simultaneously. SoftBank developed an Orchestrator system that divides AMD Instinct GPU resources based on workload requirements: model size, number of concurrent executions, and memory needs. The system splits compute workloads across multiple GPU instances running on individual Accelerator Complex Dies (XCDs). These can range from single instance mode (SPX mode) up to eight instances (CPX mode). The HBM memory pools are also divided into individual regions for each GPU instance to prevent latency spikes. The goal is to avoid the inefficiency of uniform GPU resource allocation, which can lead to GPU resource shortages or waste depending on workload demands.

SoftBank says the enhanced Orchestrator runs multiple AI applications on a single GPU with minimal resource strain. No performance figures have been shared yet, though SoftBank mentions improved resource allocation for small and mid-size language model workloads. The company also plans to explore similar orchestration for other AI accelerators beyond AMD. A live demonstration is planned at the AMD booth during MWC Barcelona 2026 in March 2-5. SoftBank also published technical details on architecture and Orchestrator management methods on its Research Institute of Advanced Technology blog. In a recent report, we noted that AMD's next-gen Instinct MI455X accelerators, set to compete with NVIDIA's Vera Rubin, are running into serious manufacturing problems that are pushing back AMD's roadmap. Only limited production is expected this year, with mass production pushed to Q2 2027.

KDE Plasma 6.6 Officially Released

KDE released Plasma 6.6 today, the latest version of the popular Linux desktop environment, also used in Steam Deck desktop mode. The biggest addition is the new Plasma Login Manager, a potential replacement for Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM) in distributions like Fedora Linux 44, CachyOS, and EndeavourOS. Note that it requires systemd, so it won't work on systemd-free distros. The Spectacle screenshot tool gains OCR capabilities, and a new USB portal lets sandboxed apps request access to USB devices. Users running Linux kernel 6.19 can now adjust the visual sharpness of all on-screen content. You can also turn your current Plasma setup into a global theme. KDE Plasma 6.6 adds XRandr emulation in KWin for better XWayland app compatibility, per-DRM-plane color pipeline support, and custom screen mode support in Wayland sessions. Screen mirroring is improved, and a new "Slow Keys" accessibility feature has been added.

Windows games with HDR running through Wine or Proton also get a color accuracy workaround. Wi-Fi passwords can now be stored in a root-owned location for better security, and a QR code in the Networks widget makes connecting easier. Battery handling on laptops is improved, ambient light sensor support enables automatic brightness adjustment, and colorblind user support has been enhanced. Windows can now be selectively excluded from screen recordings.

AMD Releases Adrenalin Edition 26.2.1 Beta Drivers

AMD has released AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 26.2.1 Beta drivers adding support for Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, and Nioh 3 games. The update also fixes corrupted cloud rendering in Arc Raiders on Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards and addresses intermittent application crashes observed in The Finals when ray tracing is enabled on Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. Several known issues remain such as intermittent crashes or driver timeouts when loading saved games in Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing enabled, as well as instability in Battlefield 6 on Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 systems. Task-switching between media while running Roblox Player (Car Zone Racing & Drifting) may also trigger crashes on RX 7000 series graphics cards. Texture flickering can occur in Battlefield 6 when using AMD Record and Stream on some GPUs.

Additionally, AMD FSR Upscaling and FSR Frame Generation may appear inactive in AMD Software when enabled in Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on Radeon RX 9000 series products. AMD also notes that the AMD Install Manager may fail to install Optional Drivers, recommending users download the package directly from the release page. AMD says it is actively working with developers to address the remaining issues.
