Following the fight stick, the 27-inch Gaming Monitor with DualSense charging hook arrives in the US and Japan on August 27th. This display uses a 2560×1440 QHD IPS panel with variable refresh rates. It runs at up to 120Hz on PS5 and PS5 Pro and scales to 240Hz when connected to a PC or Mac. Pre-orders open on June 5th for $349.99.

Sony also confirmed that its Pulse Elevate wireless speakers are scheduled to launch later this year. These desktop speakers adopt audio technologies from the company's existing Pulse Explore earbuds and Pulse Elite headsets, though pricing and pre-order dates remain unknown.

KitGuru says: Sony is pushing harder into the desktop gaming space with these releases, offering features that bridge the gap between console and PC setups.

Gigabyte has announced its new Aorus Elite gaming monitor lineup, featuring a mix of fourth-generation Tandem OLED panels and a 5K Multi Mode Mini LED display. The new series spans 27-inch to 32-inch models, incorporating high-bandwidth DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity alongside automated panel protection features.

The headliner here is the 27-inch 5K Mini LED glossy monitor, which delivers 218 PPI and uses 2304 local dimming zones. The FM275K16P also features Multi Mode support, so you can switch between 5K 165Hz, 4K 220Hz, and QHD 330Hz configurations. Gigabyte also included its AI Super Resolution upscaling technology to sharpen image clarity.

OLED options feature Tandem OLED technology paired with a RealBlack Glossy surface, delivering a peak HDR brightness of 1500 nits. The FO32U24GP model supports Dual Mode functionality and offers full-bandwidth DP 2.1 UHBR20 connectivity at 80Gbps. The FO27Q28G has a higher base refresh rate at 280Hz instead.

As you would expect from a current OLED monitor, Gigabyte has included a suite of OLED Care features to run background pixel cleaning and ensure uniform brightness across the panel over long periods.

KitGuru says: Are you thinking of making the jump to an OLED monitor this year?
