This joystick can navigate you through the M9\u2019s settings, but the InZone Hub app is better.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nGoing over some last details, the stand included with the M9 is good, but it may suit some people better than others. It only offers height and tilt adjustments but no panel rotation or side-to-side swiveling. The front peg of the stand has a mix of white and black plastic that\u2019s reminiscent of the PS5\u2019s design. Cables can be routed through this middle section, and there\u2019s a small clip on its rear to secure them in place. This leg doesn\u2019t extend very far forward from the monitor, though if it gets in the way of your ideal desk setup, the M9 supports standard VESA stands and monitor arms.<\/p>\n
Sony cleverly tapped into its Bravia DNA to deliver a mostly great panel with full array local dimming in the M9 along with some PS5-specific niceties. And yet, despite providing some premium features that other monitors can\u2019t currently compete with, it\u2019s hard to see Sony\u2019s first real crack at a gaming monitor causing a tidal shift. It likely won\u2019t convince PC and PS5 gamers with less than $900 to save up versus just buying what they can afford that meets the mark specs-wise. (I should know \u2014 I\u2019m one of those people.) And, come on, I have to harp again on Sony\u2019s ridiculous decision not to include video cables with this monitor.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a gamer at heart \u2014 and that\u2019s the key reason you\u2019re considering buying the M9 \u2014 you owe it to yourself to consider other options. The M9\u2019s performance outclasses other IPS LCD monitors I\u2019ve tested. Yet, paying a few hundred dollars more for, say, one of LG\u2019s C1 or C2 OLED TVs will get you better performance and more features in addition to a larger-sized screen \u2014 that is, if you have room for it on your desk. The M9 doesn\u2019t size up in terms of literal dimensions, the wealth of features, or the superb picture quality or per-pixel brightness control that OLEDs offer. But it\u2019s not like OLED can answer all <\/em>of the M9\u2019s faults. Doing productivity tasks in Google Docs on an OLED may leave you with a headache since built-in auto-dimming features reduce brightness to prevent burn-in.<\/p>\nStill, a 27-inch 4K monitor with some multiplatform, gaming-specific bells and whistles might be exactly <\/em>what some people want. At that, the M9 delivers a great viewing experience, but with some first-gen kinks that I hope Sony finds a way to smooth out next time around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
