Sony has introduced a new high-refresh VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) gaming monitor that’s built with desktop PCs/Macs and PlayStation 5 consoles in mind. It offers up to 240Hz on machines that can handle it, and simplifies HDR configuration on compatible consoles. If you game both on PC and PS5, this one is for you.
This monitor will likely join the brand’s InZone lineup of displays, keyboards, and mice, offering a high-quality QHD (2560×1440) resolution at a strategic 27in. This should result in sharp visuals and a comfortable gaming experience at desk distance, making it perfect for those who play games both on PC and console. It even features a rotatable hook that acts as a Dual Sense stand and charging dock, always keeping your controller ready for action.
In particular, this model is based on a high-refresh IPS panel capable of reaching 240Hz, giving you an improved motion handling compared to the widely available 144Hz displays. Though, as you may have guessed, its speed will be limited to 120Hz when connected to a PlayStation 5 or 5 Pro console. Not a big deal, actually, since many console games hardly reach that speed anyway.
That said, what it lacks in speed it gains in convenience thanks to the Auto HDR Tone Mapping feature, which automatically adjusts HDR settings during setup on PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles, ensuring rich and vivid picture quality. While the manual HDR tuning process can be finished in just minutes, it can feel complicated for novices who would rather get a plug-and-play solution and jump straight into gaming.
Due to its multi-device compatibility, the monitor’s equipped with a variety of ports, including two HDMI 2.1 supporting up to 1440p at 240Hz, one DisplayPort 1.4 supporting up to 1440p at 240Hz using DSC (Display Stream Compression), a 3.5mm audio jack, and three USB 5Gb/s ports that can be used with a PlayStation Link adapter and other devices. Those hooking up a PS5 will also find the built-in stereo speakers handy.
Regarding ergonomics, Sony didn’t share much apart from support for VESA mounting, though looking at the pictures, the stand looks as if it’s adjustable in height and tilt.
Unfortunately, Sony didn’t share any pricing for this monitor, only indicating that it targets a 2026 launch in the US and Japan. Considering current market prices, anything above $300 would make it hard to recommend due to the presence of 300Hz options at this range. $200-ish sounds about right to me.
