Sony makes gaming monitors. I know, it’s kind of a shock, right? I had to be reminded of this fact, and I cover this stuff for my job. Maybe part of the reason the company tends to go unnoticed is that those monitors are usually a lot more expensive than the competition. Not today: You can get a Sony OLED gaming monitor with 480Hz of refresh for $714.99. That’s almost $400 off.
Granted, that’s still hitting at about average pricing for a 27-inch OLED monitor with a 2560×1440 resolution at the moment. But it’s the speed that’s particularly notable. At 480Hz with a .03ms response time, the Sony Inzone M10S is approximately twice as fast as comparable monitors. It’ll pump out frames so quickly that even a beefy gaming PC will struggle to keep up with it in just about any recent 3D game.
In his review for PCWorld, Matt Smith praised the monitor’s speed and image quality, but lamented its lack of USB-C ports (so not a great pairing with a gaming laptop) and high price. At least one of those issues is fixed with a lower price. For the sake of comparison, even LG’s similar 27-inch, 480Hz OLED (which appears to be using the same screen panel) is $140 more expensive on Amazon right now.
I’d use the savings to get a nice VESA monitor arm, though the Sony design has an unusually small and unobtrusive base. If you’re in the mood for something else, be sure to check out PCWorld’s picks for the best gaming monitors.
