How much is the PlayStation Monitor?
Sony is yet to announce the price of the new monitor, though I given it’s display, similar QHD models sit around the $500 mark (so expect more than that). But at the end of the day, will it even matter for us Aussies? The monitor has only been announced for the US and Japan in 2026, if it’s coming to Australia we’ll worry about it then.
