Sony’s new OLED gaming monitor clocks in at 540Hz at 1440p

Like typical screen generational changes, Sony’s second-generation 27-inch OLED eSports display offers some noticeable, if inconclusive, improvements over its predecessor. M10S.

Big numbers are impressive, so… M10S2 It raises the refresh rate to 480Hz at 1440p and 720Hz at 720p in 24.5-inch mode.

It also improves on its predecessor with an additional anti-glare layer over the existing matte surface and adds more tilt.

The most interesting update seems to be Motion Blur Reduction, which compensates for the brightness drop typical in MBR modes by selectively boosting brightness when the drop is most noticeable – when pixels are continuously lit across frames. I find the random brightness changes to be really distracting. If you do this as well, this may offset the purported benefit of improved image clarity.

Otherwise, the display remains the same, with features like HDR support and FPS Pro modes that can focus on a player’s outlines to make them easier to spot quickly, as well as emulating an old-school Twisted Nematic panel.

The price remains $1,100, and it is scheduled to ship later this year.
