Monitor manufacturers today compete against each other to create the best esports-worthy displays that are suitable for competition use. Sony is no exception, as it introduced its InZone headsets and displays in 2022, starting with the M3 and M9. Today, the company is introducing the new InZone M9 II and M10S gaming monitors to cement its place in the competitive display space.
The InZone M9 II (pictured above) is an upgraded version of its predecessor, the M9. It shares many features but improves on some of the weaknesses of the older model. This 27-inch 4K IPS display has a 160Hz refresh rate compared to the M9’s 144Hz.
The response time remains the same at 1ms GtG, but the maximum brightness is now 750 nits (up from 600 nits). In addition, the monitor has VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification, which means it can play HDR content at a brightness of 600 nits. It also features full-array local dimming and backlight scanning technology for improved motion clarity.
The M9 gaming monitor suffered from having to be mounted on a tripod, which didn’t allow for much adjustment. For the M9 II, Sony has replaced the tripod with a small disc stand with 180-degree rotation. This new stand doesn’t require much desk room and allows for changes in height, tilt, and rotation.
PS5 consoles can automatically recognize the InZone gaming monitor, which switches from game mode to cinema mode if users pause their gaming session and watch a movie. Those who enjoyed the M9 will likely find the M9 II to be a significant improvement, which could be especially true for PS5 owners.
But the star of Sony’s show is the InZone M10S. This new powerhouse of a gaming monitor has a 27-inch 1440p OLED panel. The 480Hz refresh rate is impressive (though there aren’t a lot of games that support it), and the 0.03ms GtG response time can’t be ignored. Plus, the HDR peak brightness of 1,300 nits and the DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification are two cherries on top of this monitor cake.
Sony brought in Fnatic’s Valorant esports team as consultants on the InZone M10S (pictured below), asking them to provide feedback. Their expertise contributed to the creation of the FPS Pro+ and FPS Pro picture modes.
The first mode highlights enemies with an outline color, while the second simulates an LCD monitor for those who are more accustomed to older esports LCD monitors. In other words, the FPS Pro mode is a solution for esports athletes who want to use new gear but are very accustomed to older equipment characteristics.
Another feature of the M10S is a new heat sink design. It is made up of a multilayer passive cooling system that consists of multiple aluminum plates and thermal pads. This heat removal system is designed to reduce burn-in.
Both 27-inch monitors have a 24.5-inch display mode that slightly reduces the resolution, although the refresh rate and response time remain the same. This mode aims to replicate the experience of using a TN 24.5-inch 1080p monitor and enjoy faster speeds and better picture quality.
The M9 II is now available from the official Sony website and authorized dealers for $800, which is $100 cheaper than the launch price of the M9. As for the M10S, you can buy it for $1,100.
