During its recent State of Play showcase, Sony unveiled a new gaming monitor sporting the PlayStation label. The monitor measures in at 27 inches diagonally, and also features a charging hook for the DualSense controller. It doesn’t yet have a release date aside from a 2026 window, but will be released in US and Japan first.
On the technical side of things, the monitor is an IPS display that supports a resolution of up to 2560 x 1440 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz for PS5, and up to 2450 Hz for PC and Mac devices. The high refresh rate is further helped by support for variable refresh rate (VRR). Along with this, it also supports high dynamic range with Auto HDR Tone Mapping that can sync up with a connected PS5 to automatically adjust HDR settings.
The monitor is easy to set up thanks to its support for standard VESA mounts. For connectivity, it features 2 HDMI 2.1 ports that supports up to 2560 x 1440 with FRL and VRR, and one DisplayPort 1.4 that supports 2560 x 1440 up to 240 Hz and DSC. Along with this, it also has two USB Type-A and one USB Type-C ports that can be used with a variety of devices, built-in stereo speakers, and a 3.5 mm audio output jack.
“Since the launch of the PlayStation 5 console, we’ve seen that players enjoy having the flexibility to choose where they play PS5 games – whether it’s in their living room on their big screen TV, in other areas of the home, or outside of the home remotely with PlayStation Portal remote player,” wrote Sony in its announcement. “In keeping up with these trends, we are pleased to introduce another option for players with our new 27-inch Gaming Monitor with DualSense Charging Hook – coming to the U.S. and Japan.”
As the company makes it clear in its new monitor’s announcement, this is far from the first time Sony has unveiled PC-oriented hardware peripherals. Back in September, the company had officially announced the Pulse Elevate desktop speakers, which it stated had been designed specially with PC gaming in mind. The speakers support ultra-low latency gaming audio, and also include a built-in microphone and woofers.
The Pulse Elevate speakers are powered by planar magnetic drivers that are capable of outputting sound from across the entire audible spectrum. While generally quite capable when used with a PC, the speakers can also make use of Tempest 3D AudioTech when they are hooked up to a PS5.
Among the list of features that the speakers boast of include AI-enhanced noise rejection for its built-in microphone that offers players higher-quality voice chat, as well as the ability to connect to a system through PlayStation Link technology for lossless connectivity. The speakers can also be connected to devices through more traditional means, like Bluetooth.
Much like the brand new monitor, the Pulse Elevate speakers also don’t yet have a release date aside from a 2026 window.
