Sony has been releasing PC gaming monitors for a while now, but this week, the company announced its first PlayStation-branded desktop display. The new PlayStation Gaming Monitor is exactly what the name implies, a desktop-sized gaming monitor intended to pair perfectly with a PS5 or a PS5 Pro.
The monitor delivers 1440p (QHD) resolution with HDR support and Auto HDR Tone Mapping when connected to PlayStation consoles. It runs at up to 120Hz on PS5 and PS5 Pro, while PC and Mac users can push it to 240Hz via DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1. Variable Refresh Rate is supported across platforms, ensuring smoother gameplay.
Sony has added integrated stereo speakers, a headphone jack, and multiple connectivity options, including two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 input, and USB Type‑A and Type‑C ports compatible with PlayStation Link adapters. A distinctive touch is the built‑in DualSense charging hook, allowing players to store and charge their controller directly on the monitor.
The monitor is VESA mount compatible and designed to fit seamlessly into multi‑platform setups. It was announced alongside the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, which provide desktop audio and voice chat integration. With this release, Sony is positioning PlayStation not just as a console brand but as a broader ecosystem that extends into dedicated gaming displays and accessories.
While this monitor does appear to be an interesting product with very decent specs, even for PC gamers, the monitor will not be getting a global release. It will be available in Japan, but other regions have yet to be confirmed. Pricing has also not yet been announced, but we do know it will be an IPS display, not OLED. That should mean a lower price tag, perhaps around the $300 mark.
