A PS5's BFF
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A perfect monitor for your PS5, the VRR support really shines when playing Sony games as well. 600 nits is not the highest, but it still shows off gorgeous displays with full HDR 10 support. The menu is navigated with an analog stick on the back, very easy to use. While is might be a high price for an IPS, what it offers in features makes it well worth it for me.

Gorgeous picture, superb software.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was referred to this product for my 4090 but I was skeptical because it has only 96 dimm zones and 144hz. Once updates the firmware it works flawlessly and has a gorgeous design. Honestly there are better 4K monitors out there with mini led, higher refresh rate but I must admit, I just paid $800 for an absolutely gorgeous product. The picture is crisp and very immersive if you come from 1440p. HDR is good, not excellent but it is fairly good of what this offers. No ghosting, smeary picture, or any kind of issues. In zone software is amazing. You can make changes on your monitor with mouse and keyboard. The stand could have a better stability but it’s really good for this price. If you’re a bad gamer as I am and not in EA sports leagues but still want a phenomenal picture quality, just get it. You get HDMI2.1. display port 1.4, USB Can you can control with your peripherals multiple computers. For higher end products you end up paying $2000 so this is a big deal here. This will blow your mind just out of the box if you come from a regular gaming monitor.
I would recommend this to a friendBeware vesa mounting cut out!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great monitor but if you plan on mounting it on a desk arm it may not fit. My desk arm mount has flares on the corners so it doesn't fit in the square recess of monitor. The holes line up but the cut out area for vesa mount to nartow. Why cant it all be standard shape? On top of that no hdmi or display port cables. Minus one star for taking up my desk space.

M9 review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was always against using a monitor, but once i made the purchase never going back to a tv for gaming
I would recommend this to a friendPricey, but nice!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first one had to be returned due to damage to the tip of the power cord that goes into the monitor. The second monitor arrived with no issues. I didn't care for the overall functioning of the included stand, so I attached it to a monitor arm that I got from Uplift desks.

Beautiful monitor with Horrible Speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This display is amazing! I had previously purchased a NEO G8 and I was not a fan of the scan lines and the color scheme the colors seemed washed out. But the INZONE M9 is beautful for PC gaming, watching Youtube, Netflix, Disney Plus. I love that the color scheme works great right out of the box. One big plus is that you can dowload the software on windows 11 to control the OSD. It makes switching between differnt color schemes so much easier. PROS: Display, Ease of Use, Playing PS5 games, Local Dimming Zones are really good. CONS: The reasons I have to take one star: Speakers are horrible. I know that most monitor speakers are bad but wow these suck. Make sure you connect external speakers or use a headphone jack. I cannot believe that this monitor comes with NO Displayport, HDMI 2.1, or USB-B cables. I really feel for an $899 monitor that it should come with better speakers and cables. If not then maybe Sony should price this monitor at $799. I have no comment on the stand as I VESA mounted mine. I did see it in store and it looked ok but it seems to take up some space. HDR on the PS5 is great! HDR on windows well that is another story but that is a Windows issue and not the M9.

Overpriced, issues glitchy, works great when works
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mointer is great works amazing with ps5 looks great, some issues tho, there seems to be an issue where the screen goes blank and has looking for input even after connected no big deal it will fix itself. I had a few times where the Mointer would flash up and half the screen would work the other half did not. Did this on the mw beta and the screen flashed out of control and the imaige stayed on the screen like a burn in. I turned off the unit over night and it fixed itself or it would have been returned. Like most items it works great when working sadly I don’t think it will last and not for 900. Moniter should be about 450. Also ps5 auto synchs which is nice but I cannot seem to know how to turn into fps modes as it locks, Should also come with a remote to adjust settings which is worthless for the ps5 anyway. I did many research before buying and kinda regret for the price I would say, stay away unelss price comes down, but overall when it works it’s great hopefully it stays working and I would bump up to 3 stars I also attached the burn in from mw2 but that did go away, overall look else where

Good Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this at MSRP and it was soooo expensive. But, the quality is there. This is possibly the best gaming monitor for the PS5 and for productivity w/ a Macbook. It did come damaged, speakers are not so great, and has a delay on inputs, but I am pleased with this monitor.
