Sony just made a new PlayStation announcement that seemingly came out of nowhere. It unveiled the new Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers as PlayStation branded speakers back in October. Now, the brand has launched a PlayStation Gaming Monitor, marking a new first for Sony.
Sony Quietly Introduces Its First PlayStation Gaming Monitor
The latest hardware announcement from Sony is a new gaming monitor for PlayStation. This new model arrives with a 27-inch IPS LCD panel that has a QHD resolution (1440p) and up to 240Hz refresh rate. Although, the high refresh rate is only available for PC and Mac with VRR support. Meanwhile, the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro only get a 120Hz refresh rate when paired with the monitor.
This makes sense considering how the popular gaming consoles barely hit the triple digit frame rate in most titles. Finer details regarding the display itself, like support for HDR content, are still unclear. However, Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation branded gaming monitor features two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DP 1.4 port, two USB Type A ports, and a single USB Type-C port for PlayStation Link devices. This basically allows the monitor to link with other PS Link enabled products like the brand’s speakers, headphones, and TWS earbuds.
Other notable features include built-in stereo speakers, a 3.5mm audio output, VESA mount compatibility, and the DualSense Charging Hook. This is basically an integrated charging dock that is also retractable. Sony plans to sell this separately from the new gaming monitor, which is set to release in just the US and Japan (for now). Unfortunately, pricing details are still at large but the PlayStation monitor will roll out sometime next year.
