Sony has today added the new gaming monitor INZONE M10S to its INZONE gaming gear collection. The OLED monitor features a 27-inch display with a high refresh rate of 480Hz, a response time of 0.03 milliseconds, and QHD resolution. Developed in collaboration with the leading esports team Fnatic, the INZONE M10S screen is designed to support tournaments with a 24.5-inch display mode and new FPS Pro settings.
Sony also introduces the INZONE M9 II monitor – an upgrade to gaming monitors with 4K HDR resolution that includes backlight scanning technology to improve motion clarity.
INZONE M10S Monitor – Unprecedented Motion Clarity and Instant Response
A super high refresh rate of up to 480Hz and a response time of 0.03 milliseconds eliminate motion blur and achieve the highest level of motion clarity with QHD 1440p resolution. The OLED self-illuminating pixel units react faster than LCD panels, providing a response time without blur of 0.03 milliseconds that LCD screens simply cannot match. In addition, QHD resolution offers about 1.8 times the resolution of FHD, allowing you to engage in battles and achieve victories from longer distances.
Designed to Support Tournaments
In close collaboration with professional Fnatic players, the INZONE M10S monitor combines Sony’s expertise in creating high-quality screens with the knowledge and expertise of professional players. The INZONE M10S monitor is designed to provide excellent image quality, comfort in use, and performance-enhancing features, making it the ideal screen for tournaments.
The INZONE M10S monitor features a 24.5-inch display mode, displaying games in 1:1 aspect ratio and 1332 pixels resolution, with a refresh rate of up to 480Hz. Players can also choose lower resolution levels, including 1080 pixels, which is ideal for esports and players accustomed to 24.5-inch screens with 1080-pixel resolution. The display position can be centered or bottom aligned, with an ideal black border area that enhances focus. In addition, there are two new image modes dedicated to FPS games to help players identify opponents more quickly through a clearer image and higher motion clarity. The FPS Pro mode has been tuned with the Fnatic VALORANT team to enhance battle performance by improving image clarity further, utilizing the high response time and unique contrast of OLED technology. The FPS Pro mode simulates the image characteristics of TN panels in LCD screens commonly used in professional tournaments.
Enhanced Design for Gaming Experience
The screen design, created in collaboration with Fnatic, provides a small 159mm diameter stand base and a distinctive 4mm thick flat base for comfort during gaming, with an expanded desk space to accommodate a variety of keyboard and mouse setups. The INZONE M10S monitor allows players to position a tilted keyboard and a large mouse pad for gaming around or below the screen.
Image Quality
With the INZONE M10S screen, gaming colors shine and black colors have no boundaries, as the screen features a wide range of DCI-P3 colors up to 98.5% and smooth 10-bit color depth gradients. In addition, with a peak brightness of 1300 nits thanks to Micro Lens Array+ technology, along with DisplayHDR True Black 400, every scene comes to life.
Developed in Collaboration with Fnatic
Sony’s partnership with Fnatic has been evolving since its inception in 2023, resulting in the creation of the INZONE M10S monitor, designed for professionals and future pros. The development process included brainstorming sessions and gameplay testing at various locations.
Fnatic VALORANT team member Jake “Boaster” Howlett said, “Working with Sony on the product from the start is very important. I am excited to play on this screen.” He added, “I am a big fan of the FPS Pro+ mode because it allows me to see customers clearer than I could manually.”
Fnatic VALORANT team member Timothée “Chronicle” Hrovat also commented, “I worked on developing the INZONE M10S screen, and I am happy to have contributed to improving the products. The OLED screen is the optimal solution for me, with instant response time and a wide range of extremely good colors, leaving me no excuses for poor performance! It is the ultimate stage in gaming monitors.”
