Sony’s new OLED gaming monitor is one of the fastest you can buy

Sony has introduced a new OLED gaming monitor that’s aiming to appeal to competitive players across both PC and PS5 systems. The 27-inch InZone M10S was codeveloped with the popular Fnatic esports team to be “tournament ready,” sporting a 1440p panel that pairs a speedy 0.03ms response time with a variable 480Hz refresh rate. 

The M10S is available to order online starting today, with a recommended retail price of $1,099.99. Its specs alone make it one of the fastest OLED gaming displays you can buy, matching the capabilities of the high-end panels that LG Display unveiled at CES back in January. Achieving the full 480Hz will be dependent on frame rate and GPU performance for PC users, however, and PS5 consoles will cap that at 120Hz.

Sony says the InZone M10S includes “performance-enhancing modes” to help players make the most out of PC systems: a 24.5-inch mode displays games at a 1:1 resolution of 1332p at up to 480Hz, and gamers used to playing on 24.5-inch 1080p monitors can select lower resolutions, for example. There are also two FPS modes — FPS Pro, which “stimulates the image characteristics of Twisted Nematic (TM) panel LCD monitors” used in esports tournaments, according to Sony, and FPS Pro Plus, which further optimizes image clarity.

The M10S can achieve a peak brightness of 1,300 nits and carries a DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, meaning you can expect a wide color gamut and impressive black levels. The monitor also features ports for HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1, Nvidia G-Sync support, and comes with an intriguingly designed height-adjustable stand that can tilt and swivel.

Sony is also releasing an updated version of the 4K InZone M9 monitor that it released back in 2022. The 27-inch InZone M9 II is available today for a suggested retail price of $799.99 ($100 cheaper than the previous model), with a faster 160Hz refresh rate and auto HDR tone mapping that automatically detects when it’s plugged in to a PS5 during setup.
