What They Say

The monitors are reported to support VRR and with 1ms response time. There should be ‘gaming assist features’. The monitors may be sold as the
The firm also has some new audio heasets.
What We Think
Strange that the rumours have not identified the sizes of the monitors. At one time, Sony was significant in the PC monitor market*, but withdrew a long time ago. However, having a monitor that simply goes through the PS5 channels makes a lot of sense. The brand continues to have great value and of course, for a firm that makes broadcast monitors and TVs, making a monitor is unlikely to overload its engineers!
*The firm was a good client for my forecasts, back in the day and once gave me a W900 (iirc) 16:10 CRT monitor. The monitor was hand tuned by a technician at Sony in Bridgend, Wales and, when it was delivered, was probably the best CRT desktop monitor in Europe! However, I had to go out to the local DIY store and buy some steel tubing to reinforce my desk which was sagging under the weight (42 KG!). (BR)
