Well that just means they have even more extra monitors to use for EVO.

...why would they fail? I mean it could happen but why the worry?
There is something called the "Sony Tax" for TVs but that extra is slowly decreasing.
Can't really charge a premium when you haven't had the best product in the market for at least 15 years at this point.
IGN already has reviews for the most expensive headset and monitor:

Sony Inzone M9 Gaming Monitor Review - IGN
The Sony Inzone M9 might just seem like a PS5 gaming monitor, but its amazing contrast and HDR quality makes it stand out.
Sony Inzone H9 Review - IGN
Sony's Inzone H9 gaming headset feels like a spiritual successor to the Pulse 3D headset, but falls short in many areas.
Those headphones looks like their 1000XM5 line. I have the 1000XM4 and they are probably the best (or at least top 3) consumer headphones on the market. The noise canceling is world class.
Looks like I'll bite on the most expensive model lol.
Monitors looks amazing but I'm not interested for now. Can't wait for the new controller.

Weird concern trolling. Sony has only been making TVs and monitors for 60 years. The idea that they're going to destroy EVO with a massive hardware failure is possible, I guess, but very random and implausible.
dang so full array local dimming, Sony's world class picture processor, 1ms response time, 4K UHD 600, AND 144hz with vrr and g-sync?? for $900 thats actually pretty good. i paid $1100 for my 27" BenQ thats only 4k uhd 400 and 60Hz back in 2018. i'm also in the market for a new screen in my office. was thinking about getting the new 42" or 48" Sony OLED that are about to release. now i got decisions to make.

It's also a good chance to standardize monitors for fighting game tournaments.
Eh... Their Bravia XR A95K OLED is absolutely not worth nearly twice the cost of LG's C2 OLED or $1000 more than Samsung's S95B OLED, but it's pretty much unquestionably the best OLED money can buy. I'd absolutely buy one over any other option if I had the money to do so.
That TV isn't out yet officially. Once Rtings gets their hands on it, we'll see. Everywhere I see it say preorder for June.
If you're going by Rting ratings then it's pointless.
PQ has been best on their flagship TVs for a while now. Their picture processing is best in class.
But to be fair, to the average viewer, it's minor stuff. It's only videophiles and calibrators crowing them.
I mean, why not? These monitors reviewed well and I don't think tournaments always have top of the line products as long as input lag is low. These will offer both.
Of course Sony intends to make money with their EVO aquisition. They're a company. I'm just happy a big company is pumping big money into something I like. As long as they don't step on the FGC in some way I'm fine.

Only one 4k 120mhz HDMI port. Bummer!
They're lower end TVs have two at least. I guess they want to you use the PS5 only lol.
They're expanding into general gaming gear. PlayStation has a specific console association that would be confusing.
PC gaming gear, to be specific. Kinda goes in line with the PC investment with their 1st party games as well.

Like I said before, I wouldn't be surprised if this is leading up to a transition to PS5 next year. It would explain why Sony & Epic are going out of their way to fix the input delay problem for Unreal Engine games right now.
I meant it's dual-compatible with consoles (aside from the headphones /w Xbox) but I take your point.
yup. if you want the best movie watching experience and care about the artist's vision Sony OLEDs are the way to go. otherwise i tell people to just go with LG and save some money. until Samsung gets dolby vision support i'll never recommend their TVs.
Sony is considered a premium brand for consumer electronics. their TVs, digital cameras, and headphones have been top notch for awhile now. Playstation is more associated with console gaming/gaming in the living room so doesn't line up with PC/office gaming accessories. In the past Sony has attached Playstation branding to other products because it had a larger brand presence but they've mostly failed to attract a mass market audience. *stares at Playstation Vue*
Anyways don't be surprised when Sony launches a premium webcam for streamers with an integrated app in the next year or so. Honestly think they should pivot PSVR2 to this InZone lineup and have it launch with PC compatibility. PS5 stock is still hard to come by so making this expensive new headset PC compatible expands the market you can sell it to. only problem is i think it's a bit too late to change plans.
Yeah, that's to be expected once that switch will not any longer understandably sour the community. As long as they don't ban or de-prioritize games that are not on Playstation.
How is controller support looking right now on PS5? Will most people's sticks, hitboxes etc. work? I'm not up to date on it and just played Strive on a Dualsense cause I kind of fell off using my PS4 stick so I never tried if it'll even work. Since the PS5 doesn't even support the DS4 at all...

Fair enough.
Side note: I don't really see majors sponsoring Razer sticks anymore; it's usually Qanba, Victrix, or Hitbox these days.

PC was used for EVO 2021 Tekken…online. Players were using their own PCs.
Very different situation than trying to run a large open bracket tournament on PC.
If anyone tested out the Inzone H9 headset, how is the Tempest 3D audio quality between this headset and Pulse 3D headset? For the cost of $300 I was thinking IGN would give higher score for Inzone H9 compare to Pulse 3D especially for 3D audio gaming. My purpose for the headset is just for PS5 gaming that's all. So should I stay with Pulse 3D or get this Inzone H9 for better and more immersive 3D spatial sound? Honest opinion please. Thanks
