PlayStation’s New 27” Gaming Monitor First Look

Sony just revealed their first-ever official gaming monitor designed specifically for PlayStation desktop setups: the PlayStation 27” Gaming Monitor with DualSense Charging Hook.

This isn’t just another third-party display. It’s built from the ground up by Sony Interactive Entertainment to deliver the perfect PS5 (and PS5 Pro) experience at your desk – with exclusive features like Auto HDR Tone Mapping, seamless VRR, a built-in DualSense charging hook, and full integration with PlayStation Link audio devices.

If you’ve turned a corner of your room into a dedicated gaming battlestation (or you’re thinking about it), this monitor paired with a custom PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro is about to become your dream setup.

Here’s everything we know so far – plus why this announcement is the perfect excuse to finally upgrade your console to a custom masterpiece that matches the premium vibe of Sony’s new display.

Key Features of the PlayStation 27” Gaming Monitor

27-inch QHD IPS Panel (2560 x 1440 resolution) – The sweet spot for desktop gaming. Sharp enough for crisp details without needing to sit miles away from the screen.
Up to 240Hz refresh rate (120Hz locked on PS5/PS5 Pro, full 240Hz on PC/Mac) – Silky-smooth gameplay with VRR support to eliminate tearing.
Full HDR support with Auto HDR Tone Mapping – The same PS5-exclusive feature that automatically calibrates HDR on Sony TVs now works instantly on this monitor during setup.
Auto Genre Picture Mode – The display automatically switches picture settings based on what you’re playing (Game, Cinema, etc.) – just like Bravia TVs.
Built-in DualSense Charging Hook – Hang your DualSense or DualSense Edge controller right on the monitor for always-ready charging. No more hunting for cables.
PlayStation Link Ready – Dedicated USB ports for the PlayStation Link USB adapter, perfect pairing with Pulse Elevate speakers or Pulse Explore earbuds.
Connectivity Suite:

2× HDMI 2.1 (supports 1440p/240Hz, VRR, FRL)
1× DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 1440p/240Hz with DSC)
2× USB-A + 1× USB-C
Built-in stereo speakers + 3.5mm headphone jack
VESA mount compatible

Design – Clean, minimalist PlayStation aesthetic that matches the PS5 family perfectly. Matte black finish with subtle PlayStation branding.

Launch is set for 2026 in the U.S. and Japan (more regions to be confirmed), with full pricing and exact release date coming soon.

This monitor is clearly designed as the centerpiece of a high-end PS5 desktop setup – especially when paired with the new Pulse Elevate wireless speakers announced earlier this year.

Why This Monitor Makes a Custom PS5 Setup Look Even Better

Sony finally gave us official desktop PlayStation hardware… in clean matte black.

Now imagine your battlestation:

The new 27” PlayStation monitor in the center
A custom PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro beside it in matching matte black, racing livery, luxury leather, or bold neon
Pulse Elevate speakers flanking the sides
DualSense hanging charged and ready

It’s the ultimate 2025/2026 PlayStation desktop aesthetic – and the only way to complete it is with a console that doesn’t look like every other white PS5 on the planet.
