Sony quietly pulled back the curtain on a new PlayStation-branded gaming monitor, a sleek 27-inch display built to complement both PS5 consoles and PC gaming setups. Set to arrive in 2026 with an initial rollout in the US and Japan, the monitor’s price is still under wraps.
The headline feature is a neat quality-of-life touch: an integrated, retractable charging dock for DualSense controllers tucked beneath the screen. It’s an optional accessory sold separately, but it makes a strong case for a clutter-free desk setup focused on PlayStation.
Under the hood, the monitor uses a 27-inch QHD (2,560 x 1,440) IPS LCD panel. On PC and Mac, it supports up to a 240 Hz refresh rate with VRR to keep fast action smooth and responsive. On consoles, the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro will run at up to 120 Hz. HDR is supported, though Sony has not specified the exact standard.
Connectivity is tailored for modern gaming gear. You get two HDMI 2.1 ports for consoles, a DisplayPort 1.4 input for PCs, plus two USB-A ports for accessories. There’s also a USB-C port dedicated to PlayStation Link, allowing quick, cable-free pairing with compatible earbuds, headphones, and speakers.
