The livestream was mostly focused on games, as expected, but one but unexpected hardware announcement was Sony\u2019s new <b>PlayStation-branded gaming monitor<\/b>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The monitor bears the rather unceremonious name of \u2018<b>27-inch Gaming Monitor with DualSense Charging Hook\u2019<\/b>, but at least it tells you what you need to know. The <b>charging hook<\/b>, which supports both DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers, does also stow away neatly in the back of the monitor, which doesn\u2019t make it an eyesore when you\u2019re not using it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_8nc2s_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/mRHgZ_l94F0\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/mRHgZ_l94F0\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/mRHgZ_l94F0\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apart from the 27-inch size, the monitor uses a <b>2560&#215;1440 IPS panel<\/b>, capable of <b>variable refresh rate<\/b>. As it uses standard <b>HDMI 2.1 <\/b>and <b>DP 1.4 <\/b>connectors, the monitor is also compatible with PCs and Macs. And speaking of refresh rates, there\u2019s two different caps depending on whether you\u2019re using it with a console or a desktop; it caps out at <b>120Hz<\/b> for the PS5 and PS5 Pro, and goes up to <b>240Hz<\/b> for PC and Mac.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Sony also says that the monitor has HDR support with <b>Auto HDR Tone Mapping<\/b>, a feature for PS5 which can typically be found on Sony\u2019s Bravia TVs. As the name suggests, the monitor will automatically adjust its HDR settings during setup of your PS5 and PS5 Pro console.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The monitor also has a USB hub, though the number of ports is relatively small at two USB-A and one USB-C port. However, PlayStation Link USB Adapters, used for low-latency wireless audio with PlayStation Pulse headsets, are compatible with them. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">In addition to the monitor, Sony also announced a new, cheaper PS5 that\u2019s region-locked to Japan. If that sounds familiar, Nintendo tried a similar strategy when it released its region-locked Switch 2 that also went for a cheaper price, though Sony may be a little bit late to the game with this one. The Japan-only PS5 was announced to go for \u00a555,000 (~S$460).\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pricing-and-availability\" class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\">Pricing and Availability<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The monitor currently doesn\u2019t have a price, but we do know that it\u2019ll be released in <b>2026<\/b>. Unfortunately though, it\u2019s only set to come out in the United States and Japan. Sony stated that details about its pricing and launch date will be announced in the coming months, so we\u2019ll have to wait until then to see if it\u2019ll come to our shores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/entertainment\/gaming\/sony-gaming-monitor-pc-dualsense-controller-charger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony held a State of Play Japan a little while back, a special PlayStation broadcast centred on the Japanese and Asian market.
