Here are Sony’s first monitors. Designed for gaming, they are particularly suitable for PC games, but also for the PS5.
Sony seems to have expansion plans in the field of PC gaming. This June 28, the brand known – among others – for its game consoles is arriving in the game PC accessories with a whole new range of headsets as well as two monitors, the Sony Inzone M9 and M3. Their particularity? Features designed for the PS5.
Full HD and 4K
While PC gamers tend to look for 1440p screens at 144 Hz, Sony announces two 27-inch screens that use the definitions offered by the PlayStation 5. Thus, the Inzone M9 displays 4K at 144 Hz, while that the Inzone M3 manages Full HD up to 240 Hz, both through HDMI 2.1 (x2), DisplayPort 1.4 (x1) or USB-C (x1) connectivity. We obviously find VRR to avoid tearing (via Nvidia G-Sync on PC).
These are IPS panels with a Full Array backlight, with a response time of just 1 ms (gray to gray). Both are HDR compatible (HDR10 and HLG), with DisplayHDR400 certification for the M3 and DisplayHDR600 for the M9. The latter also covers 95% of the DCI-P3 space according to Sony, for a very wide color representation.
There are also three USB-A ports on these screens, allowing you to connect a keyboard, a mouse and a headset, which can thus control two PCs (or 1 PC and 1 console) connected to the screen.
PC screens designed for the PS5
Drawing on its experience in the gaming market with its PlayStation brand and image with its Bravia televisions, Sony certifies its screens ” Perfect for PS5 “. The console automatically recognizes the screen to which it is connected to adapt the best possible HDR parameters and thus display maximum detail in the image, including in the most dynamic scenes. In addition, these monitors recognize content launched from the PlayStation 5 to automatically switch from Game mode (with reduced latency) to cinema mode (for a better calibrated image).
Added to this is a control hub to assign a specific display or audio distribution mode for each application/each game, manage the classic settings (brightness, contrast, etc.), display an FPS counter, a timer in the games or even a viewfinder. Everything is planned to allow you to be in the best conditions to achieve the TOP 1 of your life.
A high price
This attention to detail, right down to the design of the stand designed to maximize space and gaming comfort on a desk, comes at a cost. For the Sony Inzone M9, it takes 1099 euros. The price of the Inzone M3 is not yet known. At this price, you can almost afford the 34-inch QD-OLED from Alienware (admittedly in 1440p, so less suitable for console use). The choice is not easy…
