Sony has recently unveiled its new line of Inzone monitors, and based on first impressions, the results are interesting. The new monitors are a significant improvement from the initial lineup of Sony-developed PC monitors, which were good but not special in a crowded gaming monitor market.
The Inzone M10S boasts an exciting 1440p 480Hz OLED panel that pushes the boundaries of motion clarity. This monitor is aimed at esports enthusiasts, but it’s also suitable for someone interested in image quality. The M10S features an MLA-infused panel with peak brightness up to 1300 nits, combined with a 480Hz refresh rate, making it a killer spec sheet that allows extremely clean motion clarity.
The Inzone M9 II uses a 4K 160Hz LCD panel, which may not be as exciting on the surface, but it has some impressive features. It offers full array local dimming (FALD), which allows for solid contrast and good HDR. Additionally, it features backlight strobing, which provides near CRT-like clarity in motion.
Both monitors support expected features, including VRR, Nvidia G-Sync, and adaptive sync. They also feature HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1, making them suitable for game consoles like the PlayStation 5. The build quality is a significant step up from the previous Inzone monitors, with premium materials and a beautiful stand design that allows for full 360-degree rotation and tilt support.
Overall, both monitors are shaping up to be interesting options for those looking for a high-quality gaming monitor in this size bracket.
