Sony has unveiled its new high-performance gaming monitor, designed specifically for aggressive gamers. The 27-inch OLED display, a collaborative effort with esports team Fnatic, is billed as “match ready.” While we haven’t personally tested it, if Sony’s assertions prove accurate, this screen would likely be among the fastest gaming displays currently available.
The event’s tone doesn’t resonate with casual gamers, either. The Inzone M10S arrives with a 480Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, making this 1440p QHD Sony OLED monitor a formidable alternative to the MSI MPG271QRX QD-OLED – currently our top gaming monitor pick for FPS esports enthusiasts seeking an OLED display.
With claims of reaching a peak brightness of 1,300 nits and boasting DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, Sony’s Inzone M10S appears to prioritize visual excellence. If the preceding statement is accurate, avid gamers can expect to indulge in exceptionally vivid colors alongside deeply rich and inky blacks that OLED technology is renowned for delivering. The show also features two HDMI 2.1 ports and a single DisplayPort 2.1 connection for seamless connectivity to high-definition devices. Additionally, the monitor offers support for Nvidia G-Sync technology, ensuring a seamless and tear-stutter-free gaming experience.
Sony has introduced several strategies designed to captivate the attention of dedicated first-person shooter (FPS) enthusiasts. The M10S boasts a unique 24.5-inch “match mode” featuring a resolution of 1332p at a precise 1:1 pixel ratio, ensuring that the displayed image is not upscaled, thereby preserving its clarity. If needed, you can opt for lower resolution settings, such as 1080p, which will result in a reduced image size as the pixels condense.
Sony has collaborated with gaming experts Fnatic to refine its FPS Professional and Professional+ game modes, enhancing the accuracy of specific on-screen hues. Sony’s FPS Professional+ mode is designed to replicate the aesthetic of traditional TN LCD panels commonly used in competitive esports, providing a familiar and enhanced gaming experience.
The Inzone M10S is currently available for instant purchase from Sony at a price tag of $1,099, positioning it among the top-tier options for a 27-inch OLED display, typically warranting such a premium in the market. One drawback is the lack of comprehensive protection, as Sony’s limited one-year warranty falls short of expectations for a premium OLED monitor in this price range, which typically demands more robust guarantees.
Now available in the market are several 32-inch 4K options featuring 240Hz refresh rates, with the added benefit of being able to switch to 1080p resolution while boosting the refresh rate to 480Hz. A 1080p resolution on a 32-inch display screen may seem unusual at first, but the potential benefits are certainly worth exploring. For those seeking a high-end gaming monitor, consider sezing an LG 32GS95UE for approximately $100 more than the Sony option ($1,196) or opt for the Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDP at $1,299 – both available through the provided links.
If budget is a significant concern, though, the AOC Agon Professional AG276QZD might be a viable option to consider. This 27-inch OLED monitor boasts a 240Hz refresh rate, ideal for fast-paced FPS gameplay, although it falls short of matching the Sony Inzone M10S’s performance in offering a higher 480Hz option.
