PlayStation Enters the Desktop Arena with New 27-Inch Monitor

Sony Interactive Entertainment is officially expanding its hardware ecosystem with the introduction of its first-ever PlayStation 27-inch Gaming Monitor. Revealed by Shuzo Kikuchi, VP of Product Management, this new display is engineered to deliver a premium, cohesive desktop gaming experience for PlayStation 5 owners who prefer a more personal gaming space over the traditional living room TV setup.

This move confirms the trend of gamers seeking versatile play options, from large-screen TVs to dedicated desktop setups and portable solutions like the PlayStation Portal. The new monitor is designed to pair seamlessly with the recently announced Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, creating a complete audio-visual package for your desk.

Core Features Built for PS5 Dominance

Developed in-house by Sony, the monitor is packed with technology tailored to get the most out of the PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles. It leaves little doubt that third-party displays may struggle to keep up.

Stunning Visuals and Performance

At its heart is a Quad High Definition (QHD) IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution, offering a sharp and vibrant picture. Key visual technologies include:

  • Auto HDR Tone Mapping: The monitor works with PS5 consoles to automatically optimize HDR settings during setup, ensuring you see every detail as developers intended.
  • Smooth and Seamless Gameplay: With support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) up to 120Hz on PS5 and PS5 Pro, players can expect fluid, tear-free gameplay. For those who also game on PC or Mac, the monitor can be pushed to an impressive 240Hz.

Innovative and Practical Design

Perhaps its most unique feature is the built-in Charging Hook for a DualSense or DualSense Edge wireless controller. This clever addition not only saves desk space but ensures your controller is always charged and ready for action, a pain point for many gamers.

It also features built-in stereo speakers, a 3.5mm audio jack, and is compatible with VESA mounting systems for flexible placement.

Gamers eagerly awaiting this upgrade will need to be patient. PlayStation’s 27” Gaming Monitor with DualSense Charging Hook is set to launch in 2026 in the U.S. and Japan. Sony has promised that more information on a specific release date and pricing will be announced in the coming months.
