Sony has officially announced its next gaming monitor, a PlayStation-branded monitor with some very PlayStation-friendly features. Most notable is a built-in hook for the DualSense that swings down, giving you a place to put the controller when you’re done with it. What’s more is that it also charges the controller. This way you can always be sure that the battery of your controller will last when you pick it up to play games. Sony confirms this is designed to charge the DualSense and DualSense Edge, so don’t expect it to charge controllers like Razer’s new Raiju V3 Pro.
Sony announced the monitor during PlayStation State of Play Japan on Tuesday, November 11. The monitor doesn’t have a name yet, nor has Sony announced pricing or availability dates. In any case, no exact dates. Sony says the monitor is coming in 2026 and will launch in the US and Japan.
Sony’s PlayStation is designed for PS5, but also works with PC games
Like Sony’s InZone monitors, which are designed for PC gaming but work with the PS5, this new PlayStation gaming monitor works with both platforms. It’s designed for PS5, but Sony confirms it will work with PC too. If you have both your console and a gaming PC in the same setup, this monitor will serve both well.
Sony mentions that it is a 27-inch panel and it has QHD resolution. There is also a 240Hz refresh rate and it comes with VRR support. Moreover, it has HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 port. There are also three USB ports. Two are USB-A and one is USB-C. This should give gamers some versatility for things like hardware adapters. The monitor comes with built-in stereo speakers, but there’s also a 3.5mm audio port if you prefer to connect the speakers externally.
The monitor also has some of the same features that Sony has brought to its PS5-capable TVs. For example, Auto HDR Tone Mapping. The monitor also has a very PS5-esque aesthetic with its white and black exterior. While no price is available yet, Sony says so plans to share More information on pricing and availability as we get closer to launch.
