Sony PlayStation 27" Gaming Monitor Review

Key Points:

• Sony has released a PlayStation 27” gaming monitor designed to perfectly match the PS5 and PS5 Pro in aesthetics, featuring a QHD 2560x1440 IPS panel, 240Hz refresh rate on PC, 120Hz on console, and a foldaway DualSense controller charging dock for $349.99.
• The monitor includes PlayStation-specific features like Auto HDR Tone Mapping for improved HDR performance on PS5 and a built-in speaker, though the speaker quality is basic and not recommended for extended use.
• It offers solid performance with vibrant colors, wide viewing angles, and low input lag, but has average contrast (1000:1), 350 nits brightness, and a basic stand with limited ergonomics, reflecting its mid-range price point.
• The USB and video inputs are well-equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports and DisplayPort 1.4, and VRR support works well with both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync compatible GPUs.
• While the monitor delivers a hassle-free, visually pleasing experience especially for PS5 users, its main unique selling point is the controller charging dock, and it competes with many other monitors offering better specs at similar prices for non-PlayStation buyers.
