People actually were hype by wherever this is/was?

Allow me to:

Is clear that people will never learn.

 

[Midn1ght]

Oh, look... A Sony monitor to play Sony games on PC. Hah!

I was really hoping we might get the new controller out of this but not only was it bad it was REALLY bad

Sony making it clear though they are after that PC dollar

 

[Alebrije]

price?

If You ask for the price You can't afford them.

Jk..they should be around Pulse for PS5

The bit of that monitor stand jutting out the front and they have the nerve to call it 'space-saving'.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

The bit of that monitor stand jutting out the front and they have the nerve to call it 'space-saving'.

I kind of thought the same thing thats where I have my center channel speaker on my current set up

I didn't care for the design on the monitors or even the headsets honestly

 

[kyliethicc]

What price they will be ? Any info ?

M9 monitor is $900.

H9 headset is $300.
H7 is $230.
H3 is $100.

 

[HoofHearted]

I actually just came back to this thread hoping for something interesting for me to buy…

Oh well… I’ll just spend it on something else…

Oh man I remember when I was excited about a Sony Ericson press event about new Xperia Play news and in the end it was just some boring suits showing a bunch PSX games coming to the PSM service.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

The pro controller was too good for this event they're waiting to reveal it with PS5 pro

 

[rofif]

M9 monitor is $900.

H9 headset is $300.
H7 is $230.
H3 is $100.

230 for h7 ? Wtf.
Pulse 3d is 100 but often lower. It sounds fantastic and it’s comfy. I can’t imagine any of these to sound better. I even think pulse looks better.
Comfort maybe. Battery too

Lol they know pc players will pay. In a world where mouse is 150 and gpu is 800 there is no point charging less

 

[daffyduck]

Maybe it’s better than the Pulse 3D. Those sound good but I can’t bear using it for more than 30 minutes as it really hurts me.

I would hope they're at least more durable.

 

[kyliethicc]

Told ya.

 

[nominedomine]

its not that popular, it less than 5% of the average monitor - even 720P is bigger on desktop.

https://gs.statcounter.com/screen-resolution-stats/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202105-202205

It's more than 10% on Steam survey, way more common than 4K there.

 

[ShirAhava]

The BenQ Mobiuz EX3210U with its 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports seems like a better buy than the M9 going for a bit above 900 on amazon right now

and those headphones look fragile as all hell as expected

 

[iHaunter]

while audio can be subjective, comfort is a lot less.

Shallow (making the ears touch the drivers all the time, and round pads with fake leather will never be comfortable

560s:

human ears are oval/d shape, not round

I don't get why more companies don't do this. The Sennheiser headset designs are by far the most comfortable I've ever used. HD800s are da best.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Not impressed by their monitors. My 1 year old Eve Spectrum has better features than the M9.

Eve Spectrum ES07D03 Review: Premium Image Quality and Performance

The best overdrive we’ve ever tested

www.tomshardware.com

Only thing that's cool about the M9 is full array local dimming zones - but it's only 96 dimming zones and monitors with 2300 dimming zones are just around the corner. It peaks at 600 nits, so no HDR10.

I'll hang on to what I got.

 

[Celcius]

Glad to see a fellow Jenna E fan
Seeing that the monitor is 4K and 144hz and IPS makes it look very attractive

 

[jaysius]

This clown sucks Sony off pretty good here, says the "specs are stacked" and freaks out that it "reads the meta data of the content" aka changes from movie to game mode when it's supposed to... like TV's have done since early 2010(or earlier). He gets a little bit honest about minor things like how the KVM works, ala typical 'Tube hypewhore "reviewer".

TVs have not even remotely gotten close to color accuracy. If you're gonna troll, don't be wrong about it. The new Sony QD-Oled coming out is the only TV that's going to come even remotely close to true color accuracy.

Move along.

 

[AmuroChan]

27in is little too small for me. If they make a bigger one in the future, I'll be interested.

 

[Hezekiah]

They look very nice and I'm sure the panels are very good quality, but 27 inches is too small for a 4k monitor imo.

 

[adamsapple]

They look very nice and I'm sure the panels are very good quality, but 27 inches is too small for a 4k monitor imo.

True. If PS5 had support for 1440p, then I could see 27'' being viable, but 4K at only 27 is ridiculous pixel overkill.

I, myself, also game on a 32'' 4K monitor and it hits the sweet spot IMO.

 

[amigastar]

I would love to hear the Inzone H9.
I'm sure they won't sound as good as my Hifiman HE-500, though.

Yeah 32 4k inch, or 34 inch 1440 (or 38 inch if money no object) ultrawide for PC gaming are the best imo.

Sony's LCD TVs always have very few dimming zones but their local dimming algorithm is considered top tier. For example, the X95J only has 60 dimming zones but has little to no bloom. Obviously the M9 is an IPS monitor so bloom will be more apparent, but hopefully they found a solution. I'm really curious to see what RTINGS says about it.

It looks and sounds like it's okay for todays standards, but missing features like Pixel Perfect Integer Scaling and Backlight Strobing are to be considered when buying a new monitor, that should be able to keep up for a couple of years. The release of these monitors seems dated - like early last year would have been suitable, looking at the specs.

Early next year we'll have Mini-LED IPS 2300 zone 4K 32" 144hz monitors. I really expected more from Sony coming out the gate this late.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Yeah they just said that. So I was wrong!
m9, 4k, ips, 144hz, hdmi 2.1 and full FALD. We dont know how many zones but it already seems promising for a monitor.
And I like the stand

96 zones according to unbox therapy review. I think it's a pretty solid number. The only downside to me is that it's being 600-nits. I wanted a cheap 1000nits HDR monitor for HDR editing and the cheapest, with great colors, is Apple's outrageous (no stand) $4,000 monitor that is in my radar. I think I'll stick to my plan and just go for Sony X95K 65" MiniLED with 1,500nits.

Next year the great monitors comes out. 2300 dimming zones and HDR1400

I have read nearly all the reviews of the monitors in the market, most of them at that price point or even higher have many flaws and mostly 60Hz (which I don't mind). So far I'm comparing this to Apple's Display Studio that's $1600 with no HDR, 600nits, ~5K which looks way better than most monitors out there. For a studio set up this $900 might fit better with good build quality, color accuracy, good HDR performance, FALD with 96 zones.

Still, I would rather have a fucking 65" X95K MiniLED with 432 dimming zones, 1,500nits as I've never used a monitor since 2007 with my PC's.

 

[BennyBlanco]

The InZone M9 isn't my favorite all-around monitor, but thanks to the HDR performance and VRR support, it's still a top choice for dual-system gamers looking for a great picture and flexibility.

It does work best in HDR, where it hits its maximum gamut and expected white point. The tone curve gets thrown a bit because it doesn't seem to have the maximum brightness controlled well; I got readings as high as about 800 nits, but I think the system's assuming it won't hit that high.

Sony InZone M9 Gaming Monitor Review: A Bright Spot for PC, PS5 Dualists

The flagship 27-inch monitor from Sony's new InZone gaming line shines in HDR mode.

CNET review is pretty positive. Idk why she is praising it for VRR support though. Even budget tier $300 monitors support VRR. Curious about how the HDR looks.

I'd wait for next year. But if you're into buying a monitor right now the M9 is probably the best bang for the buck right now.

If it was 8K I would agree

These look solid but how much? Also for 8K yes I would rather have an 8K TV but so far it's a bit out of my reach, or let's say I would rather through that on Sony a1 or some expensive lens or two. 8K is much better than 4K, but 4K is still getting normalized and Sony's 8K TV's are extremely expensive.

You're going to have 67 PPI. You really need 8k for that size to stay above 100 PPI.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

I'm going with the 42 inch C2 in a couple months. No way I waste money on this monitor

No price point yet, but they won't be much more expensive than the $900 we see today for premium panels, like LG, Eve, Philips and Sony etc.

And I get you in investing too much in something that's not established yet.

 

[lh032]

im using a 32 inch curved 4k PRISM+ X315 PRO monitor, its just 60hz and VA panel but its affordable and im happy about it.

The most important for me is the function and the price.

Am I reading that right? The mini-LED display will only last a little over a year of continual use?

 

[consoul]

INZONE?
Heh, I'll stick with my R-Zone headset that provides the ultimate in sound and graphics.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Am I reading that right? The mini-LED display will only last a little over a year of continual use?

10k hours and some form of degradation like dead pixels is to be expected, but as seen with LED in the past, many can go above 20k and even 30k without degradation. OLED on the other hand - phew...

That sounds crazy! I had Apple's $4,000 monitor in my plans, but seems like no need for that. But also just got shocked that Sony's A90K OLED 42" is only $1400 and the 48" is only $1500! And that has ~1,000nits peak brightness, or something around 1,200nits OLED! With 98.5% P3 coverage. X95K is fucking $2,700! Already out of the window as it's only $200 cheaper than Sony 55" A95K QD-OLED. If I'm gonna throw away that amount of money then I should go for the A95K master series which is manually-calibrated and said to hit 100% P3!

 

[Bo_Hazem]

You're going to have 67 PPI. You really need 8k for that size to stay above 100 PPI.

Yes, 2 meters away will make up for that. With monitors you stay pretty close to the monitor. I can see the pixels from around 1 meter away from a 55" 4K screen, but that's crazy close and I'm usually 2 meters away.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

I had Apple's $4,000 monitor in my plans, but seems like no need for that.

I'd reckon that's the price point of what the 6K 32" 2300 zones 60hz HDR600 will cost next year - maybe $1000 less.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

I'd reckon that's the price point of what the 6K 32" 2300 zones 60hz HDR600 will cost next year - maybe $1000 less.

Won't pay that amount of money for HDR600. I need such TV/monitor to start mastering HLG HDR videos in 1,000nits. Apple's screen I think is 6K or something and 1,000nits and extremely color-accurate. But I think I will axe it as TV's/screens are making some serious jumps lately.

Blur Busters​

After a long period of e-mails and calls, we were finally able to meet with Chief Blur Buster in person. Together we’ve made a plan that will expedite the implementation of simultaneous VRR and backlight strobing in Spectrum. We hope to share some exciting progress on this front shortly!

That will keep my monitor alive for a couple more years.

 

[demigod]

Inzone? More like Outzone. No pc gamers are going to buy this trash. 1080p and 4k? No ultrawide or even curved? Sony what the flying fuck were you thinkin? This is going to go on sale faster than their last monitors at $99.
