Sony has unveiled a new 27-inch gaming monitor designed specifically for PlayStation 5 users who enjoy desktop setups. This display delivers a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution and supports HDR with automatic tone mapping during initial configuration. When connected to a PS5 or PS5 Pro, it offers variable refresh rates up to 120Hz, while Mac or PC users can experience smoother gameplay at up to 240Hz.
The monitor comes equipped with a versatile selection of ports, including two HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort for connecting computers. It also features a USB-C port, two USB-A ports for accessories such as the PlayStation Link wireless headset adapter, and a 3.5mm audio jack for private listening with wired headphones instead of relying on the integrated stereo speakers.
