Sony is expanding its hardware lineup again, this time with a brand-new 27 inch PlayStation gaming monitor designed for desktop players who want the full PS5 experience at their desk. Revealed during the latest State of Play Japan showcase, the upcoming monitor brings together sharp QHD visuals, high refresh rates, and a clever charging hook for your DualSense controller.

Below is the full breakdown of everything Sony has confirmed so far.

A Monitor Designed for PS5 Desktop Gaming

Sony says the new display was created for players who enjoy the flexibility of switching between living room and desktop setups. As more fans game at their desks or play remotely using PlayStation Portal, dedicating proper hardware to that use case has become a natural next step.

To complement this new monitor, Sony has also been pushing more PC-friendly accessories, including the recently announced Pulse Elevate desktop speakers, which will also arrive in 2026.

QHD Resolution With Smooth Refresh Rates

The PlayStation 27 inch Gaming Monitor features a Quad High Definition IPS panel with a resolution of up to 2560 x 1440. This setup makes it ideal for short-distance play, especially on desks where 4K isn’t always necessary.

The monitor supports:

  • QHD resolution (2560 x 1440)
  • HDR with Auto HDR Tone Mapping, which automatically adjusts HDR levels on both PS5 and PS5 Pro
  • VRR and up to 120 Hz on PS5 and PS5 Pro
  • Up to 240 Hz on compatible PC and Mac devices

Sony notes that refresh rates for PS5 titles will cap at 120 Hz, but PC and Mac players can enjoy the full 240 Hz performance when using DisplayPort or compatible HDMI 2.1 devices.

A Built-In DualSense Charging Hook

One of the standout features is the unique DualSense Charging Hook. Hidden on the back of the display, the hook flips down so you can place your DualSense or DualSense Edge controller directly onto it.

It charges a single controller at a time and keeps your setup tidy, especially for players who want to jump straight into a game without digging around for charging cables. It’s a small touch, but one that highlights Sony’s focus on desktop convenience and the PlayStation ecosystem.

Ports, Connectivity, and Audio

The monitor includes a full set of ports to cover both console and PC gaming, as well as accessories like PlayStation Link adapters.

Confirmed ports include:

  • Two HDMI 2.1 inputs
  • One DisplayPort 1.4 input
  • Two USB Type A ports
  • One USB Type C port
  • A 3.5 mm audio jack
  • Built-in stereo speakers
  • Support for VESA mounting

The HDMI 2.1 ports support up to 2560 x 1440 at 240 Hz with VRR, while DisplayPort 1.4 supports the same resolution and frame rate with DSC.

A Push Toward PC Gaming

Sony has been steadily expanding its reach into PC gaming, from PlayStation games arriving on Steam and Epic, to DualSense controller updates that allow pairing with multiple devices at once. The new monitor fits neatly into this strategy, giving players a versatile display that works with PS5, PC, Mac, and PlayStation Portal.

While Sony has not revealed the price yet, the monitor will launch in 2026 in the United States and Japan. More details, including pricing and release date, are expected in the coming months.
