PS5 Is Getting an Official 27" Monitor with DualSense Charging Functionality 1

Sony is all-in on the PS5’s product family, so it’s really not a major surprise to see it reveal a new 27-inch gaming monitor.

Due out next year in the “US and Japan”, the panel follows the same design philosophy of the console, and will feature a DualSense charging hook which will allow you to store away your controller and ensure its battery is always topped up when you’re not playing.

You may recall earlier in the year the company also revealed the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, and the platform holder points out these two products will pair especially well for a great desktop gaming experience.

First, though, some specifications courtesy of the PS Blog:

  • A Quad High Definition (QHD) IPS display up to 2560 x 1440 resolution, so players can game at a comfortable viewing distance from their desk.
  • High Dynamic Range support with Auto HDR Tone Mapping that automatically adjusts HDR settings during setup on PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles, ensuring rich and vivid picture quality.*
  • VRR support and refresh rates of up to 120 Hz for smooth and seamless gameplay on PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles, and 240 Hz on compatible PC and Mac devices.
  • A built-in Charging Hook for a DualSense or DualSense Edge wireless controller (sold separately) that makes it easy for players to get right into gaming.

In terms of connections, you’ll get the following ports:

  • Two HDMI IN port (ver 2.1) and one DisplayPort IN port (ver 1.4) for compatibility with PS5, PC, Mac, or other devices
    • HDMI IN port (ver 2.1) supports up to 2560×1440, 240Hz, FRL, VRR; DisplayPort IN port (ver 1.4) supports up to 2560×1440, 240Hz, DSC
  • Two USB Type-A and one USB Type-C port that can be used with PlayStation Link Adapters or other devices
  • Built-in stereo speaker and 3.5mm audio output
  • Compatibility with select VESA mounting systems for a more flexible display setup

There’s no word on a price or whether the product will be available outside of the US and Japan, but we suspect Sony is merely testing the waters here.

It’s not the first monitor it’s ever announced – many of you will remember the 3D PlayStation panel for the PS3 – but this could serve certain setups well, assuming its image quality is up to snuff and geared towards gaming with low latency.
