As the synergy between Sony subsidiaries looks set to increase, the Japanese giant is planning a new line of consumer electronics under the INZONE brand. This, according to journalist Tom Henderson, will initially include three new headphones and two game monitors, the first of which has already begun to leak.
It was the monitors that caught our attention in the first place, as several years ago the company launched the PlayStation 3D Display, which it marketed along with its stereoscopic push across the company. The panels, which the firm is supposed to present as “perfect for PS5”, will have variations of 4K and 1080p and will have some unique features.
In addition to the low latency you expect from a game monitor, they also seem to include “game assist features” such as a frame ticker per second, an HDR tone map, and a “genre image mode.” automatic “. We assume that the latter will automatically switch between different settings depending on what you are playing, assuming you enable the feature, of course.
There will also be some kind of brightness equalizer, which is supposed to help you with your visibility in dark areas. And you can keep track of your playing time, if you like. All of these features seem quite disposable to us, but these are points that we assume will help the organization to market them along with its console.
They’re not just monitors, though. As mentioned, the firm also features a trio of headphones, under the INZONE umbrella. These have already been leaked and all follow the same design philosophy. The INZONE H3 is said to be a cheap, wired headset with 360-degree spatial sound. It is followed by the INZONE H7, which is wireless, while the INZONE H9 is the most premium option, with noise cancellation.
All articles will be announced next week, with rumors of a DualSense of higher and professional grade. With Sony now offering a direct point-of-sale showcase through its PlayStation Direct website, it will be interesting to see if it increases its production of peripherals and accessories. In the previous generation, it was outsourced to manufacturers like Nacon, but it always seemed a mistake not to take more of these items home, especially if you consider the robust electronics department of the company.
