Sony Announces InZone M10S II OLED Gaming Monitor

Sony has unveiled the InZone M10S II, an updated version of its OLED gaming monitor. Priced at $1,099.99, the monitor is scheduled for release later this year and will be sold exclusively through Sony's online shop. The monitor features a fourth-generation WOLED panel and a dual-mode refresh rate system.

Product Announcement and Availability

Sony confirmed the InZone M10S II as a follow-up to the original InZone M10S OLED model, which was released in 2024. The new monitor will be available for purchase later this year. It will be sold directly to consumers through Sony's official online shop.

Technical Specifications

The monitor's key specifications, as provided by Sony, are as follows:

A 27-inch, fourth-generation WOLED panel utilizing LG Display's Primary RGB Tandem technology. Sony states the panel offers higher brightness and contrast than previous WOLED generations.

  • Display Panel: 27-inch, fourth-generation WOLED.
  • Refresh Rate: Dual-mode system offering 540Hz at QHD (2560x1440) via DisplayPort, and 720Hz at 720p resolution.
  • Response Time: 0.02 milliseconds (GTG).
  • Motion Clarity: Includes a Black Frame Insertion (BFI) feature for motion blur reduction, which operates at up to 240Hz in this mode. Sony states its BFI implementation is designed to maintain higher brightness levels than some competing monitors.
  • Screen Coating: A matte-textured coating with what Sony calls a "super anti-glare film."
  • Adaptive Sync: Supports variable refresh rate (VRR) and is Nvidia G-Sync compatible. It includes technology intended to reduce visible VRR flicker.
  • Connectivity: One DisplayPort 2.1a port (UHBR13.5, up to 54Gbps), one HDMI 2.1 port, and a USB hub.
  • Stand: An updated version of a disc-shaped stand, which offers a larger tilting angle than the stand on the previous model.
