Sony unveils 240Hz PlayStation monitor with built-in DualSense charging hook
Sony has introduced an official PlayStation monitor designed for both console and PC gamers. The 27-inch display, revealed during the State of Play Japan showcase, brings high-end specs and thoughtful design together.
A monitor built for speed and clarity
The new PlayStation monitor features a 27-inch QHD display with a 240Hz refresh rate. It supports HDR and variable refresh rate (VRR), offering smooth visuals for competitive and immersive gameplay. However, when connected to a PS5, the refresh rate is capped at 120Hz due to console hardware limits.
This makes it an appealing choice for players who switch between PC and PlayStation gaming setups. It’s part of Sony’s growing focus on creating hardware that caters to both communities.
DualSense charging made easier
One of the standout features is its built-in DualSense charging hook. The hook folds out from the back of the monitor, allowing gamers to rest and charge their controller after a session. It’s a simple yet clever addition that fits neatly into Sony’s design philosophy of blending function with form.
The new PlayStation monitor will launch in Japan and the US in 2026, though Sony hasn’t shared the pricing yet.
Part of Sony’s broader gaming ecosystem
This announcement follows the Pulse Elevate desktop speakers introduced earlier this year. The speakers work with PlayStation 5, PlayStation Portal, Mac, and PC, and are also set to release in 2026.
Together, these devices signal Sony’s deeper push into PC gaming hardware, bridging the gap between console and desktop ecosystems. The company recently updated its DualSense firmware to allow pairing with multiple devices simultaneously. This makes switching from PS5 to PC smoother and more seamless for players.
A sign of Sony’s evolving gaming vision
By integrating more versatile accessories, Sony is expanding beyond traditional consoles. The new PlayStation monitor and accessories like Pulse Elevate show that Sony wants to create a connected ecosystem for gamers — no matter their preferred platform.
With its elegant design, fast refresh rate, and DualSense charging hook, this upcoming PlayStation monitor could become a key part of Sony’s 2026 hardware lineup.
