Best monitor until OLED matures
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While OLED monitors are great for content consumption, they are trash for text. If you need a monitor that is affordable and provides the best of productivity, gaming & media - this is your best bet - with the added advantage of seamless PlayStation support.

I would recommend this to a friendWell worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re looking to splurge a little on a monitor this is the one. Easily the best I’ve ever owned. FALD on a monitor of this class is a real game changer and it makes a world of difference compared to my previous Samsung G7. Paired with a PS5 it looks absolutely stunning. Great performance with my desktop too, though Windows’ HDR implementation sucks really bad. While there are certainly better 4K HDR monitors with FALD up for grabs, they are often twice the price and twice the size, and I think in that segment of the market I would rather spring for a TV. For $900 the Inzone M9 really cannot be beat. Fantastic work by Sony.

Great display for PC and consoles
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great display. The stand is a little wonky, but the picture quality is excellent. My biggest complaint is that the HDMI 2.1 ports max out at 120Hz. DP works at the advertised 144Hz.

Great monitor, albeit a bit pricey
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great true 4k monitor. The local array dimming is a nice feature to have, since it's normally only found on TVs, although it could have more. The blacks still look pretty good though. You may be able to find a cheaper 4k monitor, but this works well for my needs (PC and PS5). I can't speak about the weird designed stand since I mounted it.

Posted .Hi CasGam,
Thank you for your time writing this review. We're sorry to hear we were not able to meet your expectations with your INZONE M9 gaming monitor. This is definitely not the news we'd like to hear from you. Allow us to help turn this experience around.
If you set the Local dimming to Low or Off, this may cause the whole screen to look washed out. You may try turning off Auto picture mode to resolve the issue. To ensure the best picture quality, please make sure all devices are up-to-date on software and HDMI settings are set to the highest quality output from your gaming system. Picture quality being subjective may vary depending on your preferences. Please use the picture mode on the M9 menu screen to find the quality that best suits your needs. You may also adjust picture quality in the picture Adjustment menu area as well. The INZONE M9’s Preset picture modes are designed to optimize picture quality for specific use cases. Standard, FPS and Cinema preset modes are tuned for overall balanced performance, optimized for FPS games, and for enjoying cinematic content like streaming movies or videos, respectively. For more customized performance, we recommend using Game 1 or Game 2 and turning off HDR to ensure your customized settings are not overridden. When using the INZONE M9 with a Windows PC, we recommend downloading the INZONE Hub software to seamlessly control the monitor settings.

Awesome deal and monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best 4K, 120hz monitors out there. HDR on it is amazing. Got it on an Open Box-Excellent deal, definitely worth that price. Not sure I would pay $900 for it instead of just grabbing an LG C2

For those looking for high end on a lower budget
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.FALD turns this monitor from just another 4k 144hz display into a monster that provides an HDR experience you cannot otherwise find unless spending considerably more. If you’re choosing between this model & a similiarly spec’d LG 27GQ950 or Samsung Odyssey G7 just ask yourself if a decent to good HDR experience over no HDR is worth the price difference to you.

Amazing!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m so glad Sony had a monitor for Sale wouldn’t have wanted to go with any other brand!! It’s an amazing monitor and it’s just as how I expected! Runs smoothly and properly! The only thing I don’t like is that it takes a little bit for an image to appear when starting an application or turning on a console and or maybe pc. Other than that the picture is great and fun so smoothly!!

Posted .Hi Joseph, Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're so happy to hear you like the superb picture quality, FALD, and it meets your expectations. We value your input about the black screen/no picture and strive to continually improve our products to meet the expectations of our customers. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the monitor is up-to-date. This monitor automatically selects the input to which the signal is being input. If there are multiple input signals, the inputs are selected in the following order of priority. HDMI 1→HDMI 2→DisplayPort→USB-C. You can also switch the input manually, use the joystick. Make sure that all connections are secured. Sometimes cables are the easiest cause for concern and fix most issues like a black screen. If you have multiple devices connected to the monitor, you can disable the auto input search to manually select a specific input. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Great for PS5 but so many issues with DP on PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had high hopes but was ultimately unhappy and had to return it. First off, I had no issues with using this monitor with my PS5. The quality was pretty good. I enoyed playing my RPGs on it. So no complaints there. My biggest issue was when it came time to use it on my PC. I purchased a high-end DP cable that could handle the high refresh rate at 4K. Like several others, mines kept flickering to the point where I ended up with a black screen. A couple days later they released an update that seemingly fixed the problem at first as I was no longer at a dead end with the black screen. I slowly started noticing the screen flickering about every 45-60 seconds. For the price I paid I shouldn’t be dealing with these issues. This was the deciding factor for me.

Posted .Hi Phage,
We regret to hear that you didn't have a complete experience because of those issues. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. We hope that the display port cable you were using is of a latest version. Sometimes cables are the easiest cause for concern and fix most issues with flickering or a black screen.
