Sony Unveils New PlayStation Gaming Monitor That Will Charge Your DualSense Controller

by

Gamers generally want a clear, high-quality display to fully enjoy a game’s visuals. PC gamers usually choose a monitor, while console players often use a high-definition TV. Now, for PlayStation 5 owners who prefer a desktop setup, Sony is releasing its first new monitor in several years. The 27-inch PlayStation gaming monitor is scheduled to launch in 2026 and will include a new feature not found in previous models.

Sony hasn’t released a dedicated gaming monitor for PlayStation in over a decade – the last one was for the PS3 back in 2011 and was only 24 inches. This new monitor is the first designed for the PS5, and it includes a convenient DualSense controller charging hook. Here’s a rundown of what we know about it so far.

PlayStation’s New Gaming Monitor Offers Decent Specs, But We Don’t Know What It Costs

Sony recently announced its new 27-inch gaming monitor, marking a push to offer more flexible PlayStation gaming options alongside devices like the PlayStation Portal and remote play. This is Sony’s first dedicated gaming monitor in over two decades, designed to give PlayStation users a high-quality desktop gaming experience. While the release date and price are still unknown, the monitor’s key features have been revealed.

According to the official PlayStation Blog, here’s a preview of what Sony’s upcoming 27-inch Gaming Monitor will offer when it’s released in 2026.

  • 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.
  • Two HDMI IN port (ver 2.1) and one DisplayPort IN port (ver 1.4)** for compatibility with PS5, PC, Mac, or other devices
  • 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

This gaming monitor has good specs, similar to what you’ll find from other brands. However, the biggest advantage is how easily it works with PlayStation, particularly the built-in charging dock for the DualSense controller. If you use a DualSense controller with both your PS5 and PC, being able to charge and dock it directly on the monitor is a real plus. It also works with PCs and Macs, making it a versatile option for all your gaming needs.

Most fans are waiting to see the official price before forming an opinion on this new product. Similar gaming monitors from other brands usually cost between $300 and $500, but cheaper options from companies like Acer can be found for around $180. Because this monitor is made by Sony and includes a DualSense charger, it’s expected to be more expensive – many gamers think it will cost $500 or more. We won’t know the exact price, or when it will be available for pre-order, until Sony makes an official announcement.
