Sony unveils 27-inch PlayStation monitor that can also charge your PS5 controller, all details
Have you ever wished for a monitor built exclusively for your PS5? Sony might have just heard you. The company has just announced a new 27-inch gaming monitor built specifically for PS5, complete with a built-in DualSense charging hook. Designed by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), the monitor promises the same stunning visuals and performance that PS5 players are used to on a big screen, but in a more personal, space-friendly setup. The monitor will launch in 2026 in the U.S. and Japan.

Built for PS5 players who prefer desktop gaming
Since the launch of the PlayStation 5, Sony says it has noticed a growing trend among players who prefer the flexibility of playing beyond their living room setups- whether that’s in other areas of the home or even remotely with the PlayStation Portal. The new 27-inch PlayStation gaming monitor caters directly to that audience, giving users a premium visual and audio experience right on their desks.
The monitor comes with a Quad High Definition (QHD) IPS panel with up to 2560×1440 resolution. It supports HDR with Auto HDR Tone Mapping, a feature that automatically adjusts HDR settings when connected to a PS5 or PS5 Pro, promising richer, more lifelike visuals without any manual tweaking. Gamers can expect buttery-smooth performance too, thanks to Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support and refresh rates of up to 120Hz on PS5 consoles, or up to 240Hz on compatible PC and Mac systems.
The design, however, is what gives this monitor its PlayStation DNA. Sony has built in a Charging Hook that doubles as a neat and functional charging dock for DualSense or DualSense Edge controllers. It’s an elegant touch that keeps your gaming setup tidy and ensures your controller is always charged and ready to go.
Thoughtful design and connectivity for modern setups
The new PlayStation monitor isn’t just about visuals. It’s also been developed with flexibility in mind. Sony has added full support for VESA mounts, allowing players to customise their setup, whether they want a single clean desktop build or a dual-screen configuration.
Connectivity-wise, it comes loaded. The monitor includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, and multiple USB ports (including two Type-A and one Type-C port) that can be used for accessories like the PlayStation Link adapter or other devices. HDMI and DisplayPort connections both support up to 2560×1440 resolution at 240Hz, ensuring full compatibility with the latest consoles and high-end gaming PCs.
Sony has also included built-in stereo speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack for those who prefer wired audio. And if you want an immersive desktop experience, the monitor pairs perfectly with the newly announced Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, which offer lifelike spatial sound and integrated voice chat.
With this launch, Sony continues to expand the PlayStation ecosystem beyond the console itself. The upcoming monitor reflects how gaming is no longer confined to the TV in your living room, but accessible anywhere, with the same level of polish and performance. A 2026 launch window has been confirmed for the U.S. and Japan, with more details on pricing and global availability expected soon.
