Sony has released the Inzone M10S II, a 24.5-inch gaming monitor featuring a tandem OLED panel from LG with refresh rates up to 720Hz. The display costs $1,100 and targets competitive gamers seeking extreme performance.

The monitor delivers 540Hz refresh rate at QHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440) during standard use, with the option to push 720Hz in competitive gaming modes. The tandem OLED panel technology enables the exceptionally high refresh rates, a specification that has gained traction following recent releases at CES. Sony's entry into the ultra-high refresh rate market reflects growing demand among esports professionals and hardcore gamers. The M10S II joins a expanding lineup of 540Hz+ displays launched by competitors in recent months. The premium pricing reflects both the specialized OLED technology and the niche audience for 720Hz panels. Current competitive titles rarely exceed 360Hz frame rates, positioning the monitor as forward-looking hardware for future-generation games.
