JGF's Slender New 27-Inch 4K Monitor Could Tempt Apple Mac Mini Owners
The JGF 27F1 is available as a touchscreen as well as a regular display. The 27-inch display ... More includes a kickstand and a VESA plate for mounting on a monitor arm.
The old maxim 'You can never be too thin or too rich' is often attributed to the late Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson, who was instrumental in causing the first abdication of the English throne since Edward II in 1327.
The same is true for computer displays; they can never be too thin. And as the battle for thinner and smarter displays heats up, the new JGF 27F1-T which launches soon on Kickstarter sets something of a benchmark as it measures just 5mm thick, quite something for a 27-inch 4K display and a far cry from the days of clunky old CRT monitors.
Larger computer monitors are becoming increasingly popular, especially now they are more affordable and can increase productivity with all that extra screen real estate. Indeed, many people use more than one display at their desk to boost their productivity.
The JGF 27F1-T 4K display has a touchscreen surface and is just 5mm thick. It also works with macOS ... More gestures.
Unfortunately, larger displays also take up a lot more desk space, especially if VESA mounting isn't an option. To address this issue, the Korean brand JGF has developed an ultra-thin 27-inch 4K display with a touchscreen option for those who want to use macOS gestures or a graphic pencil.
JGF says that slimmer and neater displays are better suited for designers and content creators working in tight spaces like home offices. The company's design brief was to produce a computer monitor that could match the elegance of Apple's products, such as the compact Mac mini M4.
Sadly, Apple doesn't produce an affordable and slender display to match its tiny Mac. Apple's own 27-inch Studio Display costs an eye-watering $1,500 and could even afford to lose a few pounds itself.
This new 4K monitor from JGF comes with a kickstand but there is also a VESA plate and optional ... More magnetic stand available.
The JGFF 27F1 and 27F1-T displays come with or without touchscreen capability and are fitted with a glossy IPS panel that covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The screen also supports HDR400 and recognizes macOS gestures and Wacom graphics tablets on the touchscreen version. The touchscreen version even comes with a graphics pen for use with software like Adobe Photoshop.
The core specifications of this screen include a contrast ratio of 1,500:1, and brightness of 500 nits, 10-bit color and a DeltaE of <1. The display is extraordinarily thin, measuring just 5mm thick and with a 0.55 mm OGS overlay.
This new monitor has the same silver aluminum finish that Apple uses on its Mac mini M4 and has the same elegant look. There is also an integrated kickstand for use on a work surface and JGF also sells an optional stand. Alternatively, the kickstand can be removed and replaced with the included VESA plate so it can be attached to alternative support such as the popular Hexcal Single Monitor Arm.
This new display from JGF covers 100% sRGB, 99% DCI-P3 and 98% AdobeRGB, making it suitable for ... More photography and design.
The two variations of the JGF displays are targeted at design professionals rather than gamers, which is evident from the 60Hz refresh rate and wider 10-bit colors. Because the touchscreen version recognises Apple macOS gestures, Windows compatibility is a bit more limited.
To power the monitor, JGF provides an external 65W USB-C power adapter as the screen is too thin to house a regular integrated power supply. The adapter is not a proprietary type so just about any 65W power supply with USB-C connectivity should work just fine.
'The 27F1-T isn't just thin; it's a statement,' claims JGF's chief design officer, Hyun-ji Park, during the screen's launch event. 'We've reimagined how a professional-grade monitor can look and feel without sacrificing the power users demand.'
There is an optional transparent plastic stand available for the JGF 27F1 display.
The monitor's razor-thin profile could shame some smartphones and, as such, could be a game-changer for anyone who wants a screen with smart aesthetics as well as functionality, such as creative studios, luxury offices or cozy home setups.
Despite its svelte frame, the 27F1-T offers 4K resolution and 'Zero-Bezel Fusion' technology, which integrates the display drivers and cooling systems into a single edge-mounted module. This eliminates the need for a traditional backplate. The result is a 27-inch monitor that weighs just 3.2kg and can be mounted flush against a wall or carried to meetings like a portfolio.
Normally, one drawback with any ultra-thin product is they can tend to be a little delicate. However, JGF assures potential customers that the 27F1-T is made using aerospace-grade aluminum with reinforced graphene layers that prevent any flexing or damage.
The JGF 4K 27F1-T is a touchscreen monitor that measures just 5mm thick and is a suitable partner ... More for Apple's new Mac mini M4.
JGF says that early testers of the screen have praised its stability, especially when used with the optional magnetic stand which provides robust support while keeping the device's minimalist ethos.
When it comes to connectivity, the new displays has two USB-C ports and a USB-C input for the video signal and compatibility with laptops, gaming consoles and USB peripherals. With a sub-5ms response time and AMD FreeSync Premium, the JGF might even tempt a few gamers.
JGF's 27F1 and 27F1-T have launched on Kickstarter and prices start at $

Backing the Future of Global Biotech: Reynold Lemkins' Strategy Across Borders and Stages
HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Reynold Lemkins Group, an international investment firm focused on value-driven cross-border capital deployment, announced the continued advancement of its strategic focus in late-stage healthcare, AI-powered therapeutics, and Asia-centered biotech commercialization. Bridging East and West in biotech investing, Reynold Lemkins backs science-driven companies with cross-border capital and global scale strategies. Share As part of this strategy, Reynold Lemkins recently participated in the IPO of VISEN Pharmaceuticals on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX: 02561). VISEN, a biopharmaceutical company specializing in long-acting growth hormone therapies, attracted strong institutional demand and represents the kind of regulatory-validated, commercially scalable business the firm targets. Reynold Lemkins invested alongside globally recognized healthcare investors including HongShan Capital Group (previously Sequoia China), Sofinnova, Vivo Capital, OrbiMed, and WuXi Biologics (HKEX: 2269), reinforcing its commitment to cross-border innovation and long-term capital alignment. This investment underscores Reynold Lemkins' broader strategy of supporting science-driven, late-stage companies with scalable market potential—particularly those operating at the convergence of AI, therapeutics, and Asia-Pacific commercialization. 'Our approach focuses on more than capital—we provide strategic insight and cross-border connectivity to help companies scale,' said Kris Haoran Liu, President and Chief Investment Officer at Reynold Lemkins Group. 'Biotech firms entering public markets need partners who understand both the science and the structure of global growth.' With Asia playing an increasingly pivotal role in global healthcare, Reynold Lemkins sees a growing need for capital strategies that link scientific innovation with scalable regional execution. At the same time, the firm closely tracks trends in the U.S. and other mature markets, where biotech companies are navigating longer paths to liquidity and require strategic partners with global reach. Reynold Lemkins positions itself at this intersection—bridging East and West, public and private markets—to support companies shaping the next era of patient-centered care.

Threads is finally getting DMs
Threads users will soon be able to send direct messages to each other without having to leave the platform. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on June 10th that Threads will start testing its own DM system this week, starting in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Argentina, with plans to expand to more locations 'soon.' The experiment will introduce a separate inbox for Threads DMs instead of connecting users to the inbox of their linked Instagram account. This was a possibility given that the two Meta platforms are closely integrated, requiring users to login with their Instagram credentials to create a Threads account and automatically following the same users if they're on Threads, too. The Threads inbox can be accessed by clicking the new envelope symbol on the taskbar, located at the bottom of the display on iPhone and Android mobile apps, or on the left on desktop. Meta has not mentioned when the feature will become widely available. Direct messaging was one of the most requested features from Threads users, who currently have no means to directly send private messages to other users. The closest solution was to jump over to Instagram. Having distinct inboxes for each platform will make it easier to manage messages — especially for business pages and content creators — and bring Threads closer to the X experience.
