August 28, 2026 at 12:56 PM

> Sony's new 27-inch 1440p monitor features a 240Hz refresh rate and a built-in DualSense charging hook for US and Japan markets.

**Sony** is launching a new 27-inch **PlayStation** Gaming Monitor in the United States and Japan, priced at $349.99 and ¥49,980 respectively. The hardware features a 2560x1440 IPS display and is designed for players who prefer a desk setup over a living-room TV.

The monitor supports variable refresh rates via HDMI VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium. It reaches 120Hz on **PS5** and PS5 Pro consoles, while compatible PC or Mac systems can hit 240Hz. A unique folding hook is also included to charge a DualSense controller directly.

This release targets competitive gamers seeking high-performance specs in a compact form factor. While the monitor is now available in two major markets, Sony has not yet confirmed a European release, leaving international availability currently uncertain.
