Sony closed its November 2025 State of Play Japan with an unexpected hardware reveal: a PlayStation-branded gaming monitor designed to complement both PS5 and PC setups. The 27-inch display, set to launch in 2026, marks Sony’s latest move to expand its lineup of PlayStation peripherals beyond consoles and headsets.
The monitor features a QHD (2560×1440) IPS panel capable of refresh rates up to 240Hz when used with a PC and 120Hz when paired with a PS5 or PS5 Pro. It includes HDR support with Auto HDR Tone Mapping, which automatically calibrates color and brightness settings during setup on Sony’s consoles. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is also supported to minimize screen tearing during fast-paced gameplay.
One of the monitor’s more distinctive design choices is a built-in “Charging Hook” located beneath the screen. This magnetic dock can hold and wirelessly charge a DualSense or DualSense Edge controller, reducing clutter for players who keep their controller near their setup. It’s a small but practical inclusion that differentiates the display from typical gaming monitors.
Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, two USB-A ports, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The monitor also integrates stereo speakers and supports PlayStation Link adapters for wireless audio. VESA mounting compatibility allows for flexible positioning, and Sony noted that both the design and specifications may still change before release.
This new monitor aligns with Sony’s growing focus on branded accessories tailored for the PS5 ecosystem. In recent months, the company has introduced or previewed several devices under the PlayStation banner, including the Pulse Explore earbuds, Pulse Elite headset, Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, and the PlayStation Portal remote play handheld. The addition of a PlayStation display suggests Sony is continuing to build a cohesive suite of first-party gaming hardware aimed at users who prefer a unified brand experience.
Sony has not yet announced pricing details, but given its specifications and PlayStation branding, the monitor is expected to sit above typical midrange gaming displays. The monitor will be released in Japan and the US in 2026, with broader regional availability likely to follow.
