This is a video on the new Sony PlayStation themed gaming monitor built by Sony under it's Inzone gaming brand. This is one of two gaming monitors coming out, the M9 which is a 4K IPS monitor with 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, full array local dimming zones and much more besides.
In this video I'm talking to you about the various highlights of this monitor, the interesting specs and my few complaints about it.

Features of the Inzone M9 monitor:
Aimed at "heavy shooters" - FPS players
Full Array Local Dimming means more lights behind - 96 local dimming zones on the 4K model
Exclusive features for PlayStation 5 - including:
Auto HDR Tone Mapping - allows the PS5 and monitor to communicate to each other and set local dimming levels to match specs of the monitor in use. So in other words the HDR settings would be different if you're using the FHD (HDR400) or the 4K monitor (HDR600). You can change HDR settings manually, but this auto tuning makes life easier for gamers. This is already on Bravia televisions
Auto Genre Picture Mode - the monitor switches into Game Mode when gaming, meaning lower input lag. But when you're watching films or Netflix, it'll switch into Cinema Mode which has a more expressive picture.
Then there are features you won't find on TV:
FPS game picture mode - which adjust brightness and contrast to make it easier to see enemies
Black Equaliser - which exposes shadows and enemies hiding in the dark
Cross hair - OSD crosshair
Frame rate counter - so you can check the game is running smoothly
Timer - let you know how long you've been playing - pitched for knowing when a circle is shrinking in battle royale games or to know how long you've been streaming for
PC software, so you can change the settings on the monitor via software rather than via hardware buttons
These also work with the Inzone headsets so you can actually sync picture modes with sound profiles and you can set these to launch with specific games too.
KVM switch so you can connect the monitor to two different PCs, but then use the switch so you can control two different PCs with the same keyboard and mouse
178 degree viewing angles
DisplayPort is the cable to use for the highest Hz (144Hz on 4k vs 120Hz with HDMi)
Built in speakers = Two x 2 watts speakers
Highlights for me:
Superb visuals
Smooth gaming experience
Lowlights:
No cables included
