Gaming setups have just received a serious upgrade thanks to the new monitor from PlayStation and Sony Interactive Entertainment. The 27-inch QHD display boasts a sharp 2560 × 1440 resolution, HDR support with Auto Tone Mapping, and a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz when connected to a PC or Mac. The standout feature is a built-in charging hook for your wireless controller, discreetly positioned behind the screen to keep your gamepad always charged.
If you’re using a console like the PS5 or PS5 Pro, the monitor supports up to 120 Hz with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate)—still silky smooth, though not the full 240 Hz available on PC. Connectivity is robust as well, featuring two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 input, USB-A and USB-C ports for accessories, built-in stereo speakers, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
So, what’s the catch (because there’s always a catch)? While the spec sheet looks impressive, some tech enthusiasts note that the panel is a standard IPS—no OLED, no ultra-premium backlighting—and Sony has yet to reveal response times or brightness levels. The biggest suspense remains pricing and full availability, which are still under wraps, with the launch expected in the U.S. and Japan sometime in 2026.
