Sony PlayStation Gaming Monitor: Features and Specifications
The official Sony PlayStation gaming monitor is available in a single 27-inch display size. It offers a Quad HD (QHD) IPS display with 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution. The panel supports 240Hz refresh rate, but it goes up to 120Hz while playing PS5 and PS5 Pro games. You will need a compatible PC or Mac game to take advantage of the highest possible refresh rate.
The monitor has HDR support with Auto HDR Tone Mapping. The latter works with PS5 and PS5 Pro and auto-adjusts the HDR setting during the setup process.
