I don't get it why some people hate 4K resolution on 27" monitors? It looks crystal clear and you're able to see everything perfectly fine like in more competetive games.

This is probably one of the most thorough & detailed reviews I've come across on the M9, really appreciate the attention to detail. Everything, down to the b-roll provides helpful information, and I'm left with a confident feeling about picking up one of these soon.

I got mine for 500 dollars, open box but great condition. For that price it is great.

[Technchill]

About time Sony made a respectable monitor! Great review Tom 🤝 I’m looking to pick this up but I agree there are definitely more other options that are cheaper with higher refresh rates as well. But overall a very clean looking monitor.

I really wish this was 32" or that they release one that is. We need more FALD monitors for under $1k.

[raymundvisaya]

Hope they make a 32 inch version of this.

[DavidFregoli]

I think Ultrawide IPS was a great solution last couple years and can still hold a candle for a couple more while we wait for the situation to stabilize. I don't think it's wise to buy a 4K 32'' right now as there is so much progress in this space and things are moving fast.
I won't mind spending 1500 dollars on an "endgame" monitor but as it stands there are too many compromises to be made and too many competing technologies ramping up, you're better served getting a decent 34 Ultrawide or an older OLED (C1 on sale) and wait things out for a bit.

What’s the best quality monitor for PS5 regardless of the price ?

[AtlantaGuns]

I think the size and tech is a miss, would have liked them to make it 32” with mini LEDs for the price of around $1200. Would have lived up to the PlayStation name more.

[imweapons]

So would you recommend this or the Asus TUF VG28 for ps5?

[speedzero]

Not sure why Sony wouldn't offer both a 27 inch and 32 inch option with the otherwise same design and specs. 27 is slightly too small for my eyes.

[MinimalisTech]

Think it's pretty sweet, but I feel like the GP950 still takes the cake. Although the KVM here is pretty useful, especially for multi setup folks like me

That cord sticking out the bottom front leg is horrible🥲

Purchased this monitor when it was released and am using it with my PS5 and M1 MacBook Pro. So far I’m loving it except for some parts of the HDR. I say some parts because when watching movies and gaming in HDR, I notice the local dimming (when set to high) causing the image to exhibit haloing that looks different from what I’ve seen in other Sony LED backlight displays. This only happens in a pitch black room with no bias lighting but it’s actually kinda distracting. To the point where I feel like turning local dimming to low is a better option with HDR content. I find it’s most noticeable with contrasty HDR movie scenes but when you know what to look for it’s noticeable with pretty much all HDR content. You get haloing in the form of squiggly white lines that move around frame depending where highlighted objects/subjects are in the frame. Not sure if it’s just my panel but given that the monitor has none of the screen defects people have been posting online about, I want to say I have a solid panel. Just wondering if anyone can add to this discussion. I love this monitor and if this is a normal backlight consequence on a 27 inch screen, I’m willing to put up with it. But if it’s a defect, then I feel like I should swap it out while the return window is still good. Thanks all 🤘🏼

I mid video you switch the sides of the ps5 and Xbox! Also where is your Nintendo Switch?

[shadel]

Thanks I was about to buy it, changed my mind.

[adamstocks]

For anyone who has the monitor. What’s the colours like. I play both story games and online games. So is it suitable for both. I like my offline games to look good. Thanks.

[ipoulter]

Can I ask where did you get your desk from & how much ?

[kornalekso]

I have an issue with this monitor, when I start a game, the screen goes black and it says scanning for signals, for about 5 seconds. No big deal. But then when im in the game sometimes it will go black randomly and the colors will drop drastically does anyone else have this same issue???

[Goalier]

After using a 32" LG (non-gaming monitor), it's tough to go back to anything less than that. I'm patiently waiting for Asus to bring out their ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ.
