PlayStation parent brand officially unveiled INZONE, new device brand games for PC with which Sony has been trying to dive even deeper into this booming segment for several years now.
Running this device family home with other moves the company has done in the pastsuch as the release of PC versions of some of the most popular PlayStation exclusive video games.
However, INZONE series devices not only work with PC. All of them can be used with Sony consoles without any problems. However, the focus of this new brand, although this compatibility exists, is on users who usually run their favorite video games from PC.
Monitors INZONE M3 and M9
The first representative of the INZONE series – monitor games INZONE M9, which leads the company’s catalog in terms of image quality. It has 4K resolution, supports DCI-P3 space up to 95%, is G-Sync compatible, has FALD technology to greatly increase contrast, max refresh rate is 144Hz, IPS panel, it supports DisplayHDR600 and only 1ms GtG latency. There are plenty of ports on the back too, including two HDMI 2.1, a DisplayPort, and a PD-compatible USB-C port (so you can charge other devices). It also has two built-in 2W speakers.
This monitor also comes with a cheaper version called INZONE M3. This Sony product is lower resolution (Full HD) compatible with DisplayHDR400 and does not use FALD technology. At the same time, it has a higher refresh rate (up to 240Hz) and supports 1ms GtG latency. In terms of connectivity, it offers the same ports as the M9.
Both monitors also have a system that allows them to be converted into peripheral hubs. Thus, we can connect a keyboard or mouse directly to the monitor, and this will redirect the signal to the currently active device (in the case of two computers connected to the monitor at the same time).
Both INZONE M3 and INZONE M9 also have a number of features software this is a promise, for example, improve dark areas to better see video game elements located in shadows. When connected to a PlayStation 5, the console will tailor HDR content specifically for that monitor, which according to the brand will improve the experience.
Headphones INZONE H3, H7 and H9
On the other hand, Sony introduced three earbuds for gamesnamed as INZONE H3, INZONE H7 and INZONE H9. They all look like the WH-1000XM5 that the company introduced a few weeks ago. However, the focus of the product is different despite these superficial similarities.
INZONA H9 This is the most advanced model of the three. It’s completely wireless, has synthetic leather overlays, active noise cancellation, up to 32 hours of battery life, and LEDs that light up when you’re on.
INZONA H7 It’s very similar to the H9, but it does without active noise cancellation and LEDs, swaps leather overlays for nylon ones, and extends battery life to 40 hours. INZONA H3finally, these are entry-level headphones, which, unlike the previous ones, work over a cable.
All INZONE headphones are equipped with a special high-quality microphone. They are also compatible with 360 audio technology developed by Sony for video games, which the company claims allows the precise location of enemies, as it allows not only to perceive the direction of the sound, but also the distance from which it is produced. Yes, for this 360-degree sound, the company has developed an additional application that allows you to customize how it works.
These products, while PC-focused, are also compatible with the PlayStation and the immersive sound technologies that this console has brought.
