Sony InZone M9 II vs InZone M9 ( Mark 1 ) - What's The Difference?

[@axne12]

Notice how he didn’t mention the PC app that is required for software updates. I own first the M9, and although it has a BEAUTIFUL SCREEN! And I mean really really good! The monitor has some AWFUL quirks that will make a lot of people feel bad about their purchase. The delay when it’s searching for the hdmi, or DP port is awfully slow and trying to figure out how to do a software update is even more frustrating. Those are just a few things that are really annoying and frustrating. I wish Sony would fix these issues instead of making a new product and acting like the first one is just fine. 😢

[@ryanz6370]

As an owner of the original M9 and as a PS5 gamer, I see no reason to “upgrade” to the new mark II, particularly with the usb-c disappearing. Also see no reason to get a PS5 Pro. Really disappointing from Sony

[@tinybit780]

@@ryanz6370 and it seems to be the same panel more or less, disappointing!

[@LegacyRap777]

🥱 cope harder, I love what Sony is doing

[@hellmalm]

@@LegacyRap777 I bought the original specifically for the powered USB-C port (works like a one cable solution for my M1 MBP, it delivers enough juice so I don't need a separate charger, can plug in my iPad the same way) and the KVM switch for my gaming PC. So this would not be a product for me. 144Hz to 160Hz is not much of an upgrade. But the M10 looks cool, might go for that with my next build.

[@luchisuavey9930]

@@ryanz6370 well that’s your opinion but a lot of us do see a reason to get a ps5 pro. We want more out of our gaming and it’s an option, it’s not forced on us. Either you want it or you don’t. Bitching about it over and over makes zero sense. Ps5 pro are geared toward specific gamers

[@charleshawk6668]

Sucks for you. Loving the Pro and a good upgrade…..

[@philrodfilms]

Did you notice a change in local dimming performance compared to the original? I thought I saw Sony mention it’s been improved.

[@tinybit780]

@@philrodfilms same dynamic contrast according to their specs sheet.

[@75STARFISH]

I've got the MArk 1 mp I am loving it. Should I upgrade. I haven't paid it off yet

[@WhatGear]

I guess it depends on if you can make use of the 160hz and if the stand bothers you?

[@tinybit780]

@@WhatGear Nono, you don’t see a difference from 144 to 160 Hz, it’s just a slight overclock. Absolutely not worth it sadly. Dimming zones seem to be same.

[@DealerofDoom]

So as only a PS5 user, would you recommend the M9 1 over the M9 2?

[@WhatGear]

If you get a good deal it might be. It’ll give you the full 120hz and 4K…and the colours match the console.

[@Upassmexican]

@@WhatGear I’m picking one up today like new for 300 bucks the m9 1 and just picked up the ps5 pro last night I can’t wait

[@WhatGear]

@Upassmexican amazing deal!

[@qiqianzhai2402]

I wanna know that the new presets in the OSD menu, such as sRGB mode and DisplayHDR mode which only M9II has compared to the M9I, is there some differences or amazing performance?I see that the hardware parameters of the two are almost the same, so there may be some differences in these display presets. And how do these two new presets perform when connected to a PS5? Can they be enabled? Or it is impossible to change the presets in HDR mode on the PS5,just PC? If there is an improvement, I may consider the second generation.Because the monitor I am using now has some display presets in HDR mode, such as movie mode, game mode, standard mode, and DisplayHDR mode. Among these modes, the display effect of DisplayHDR mode is the best in almost all environments, so I am very curious about some of the new display presets added by M9II, whether they have almost comprehensive display improvements, and how they perform on PS5.

[@chrisr-sr6vh]

What’s the best settings to have for the monitor while using ps5. I have the the first gen inzone m9.

[@samven582]

Did they fix the banding issues

[@renaldcaruana]

Which one of these monitors would you buy for ps5?

[@oscarlebron2086]

Awsome Video! I have a question I do own currently the Sony X90J 55inch TV already I know there is a special feature Auto HDR for the PS5 I did recently purchased the Alienware aw3225qf Refurbished from Best buy for $862.99 then including tax it was $927.71 I am still in the time frame on being able to return it until December 8th, I am going to be purchasing the PS5 PRO is it worth keeping the Alienware or exchanging it for the Sony Inzone 9 II, My goal is to get the best experience out of the PS5 PRO.Any suggestions ?

[@hitman.123]

How would it work for my PS five right now?

[@raffoisgold]

Do you know if I can use the M9 II stand with the old M9 monitor?

[@jessongraju6553]

Watching after a long time 😁.Big fan of your Sony contents.

[@tiagorijo3357]

When will the m9 2 come out ?

[@frijin490]

Why is the monitor still only 27"?

[@Brandon_Mishima]

Can the M9 II do 60hz strobing?

[@sodaboy581]

This would be it's only saving grace, if it did.

[@sodaboy581]

Woops, just read the manual for it on Sony's site. Backlight scanning doesn't work below 100hz. RIP

[@Brandon_Mishima]

@@sodaboy581 Funny thing I asked Sony and they said it worked at 60hz. Then I told them that the manual says 100hz and above. Their response was, "Thanks again."

[@MetsukiR]

I just need to know if there's an sRGB mode/clamp, since the previous one didn't have.

[@josh0156]

Yes to sRGB preset mode.

For the price I don't think I could be interested when there are a lot of options for less money, another thing is the size I got an LG 48" monitor for 1200 I can excuse that price for how big the screen is and all the features and OLED but this Sony monitor is too small for me now that I had been spoiler with big screens

[@tinybit780]

Display is not competitive anymore IMO. Disappointed they didn't update it after so many improvements in the monitor market. Still less than 100 dimming zones. There are better ones for less. OLED 4k 32" 240 Hz+, Mini-LED monitors with more than 1000 dimming zones..

[@DavidJosephBoth]

OLEd burns in man. i pause my game constantly, oled tv is annoying, imagine a monitor. You gotta do pixel shifting and tricks to hide taskbar etc.. i prefer VA fast response, ghosting sucks though. IPS just can't match the contrast. Didn't sony release a m10s inzone, that is 27" oled?

[@tinybit780]

@@DavidJosephBoth never had burn in. I don’t hide the taskbar. Newest generations are better in preventing burn in and you get 3 years warranty, but I actually wanted Mini-LED for the M9 II. I like to have more brightness. However, I was looking for a better Mini-LED implementation for their 4k monitor. I expected them to add Mini-LED with way more zones, perhaps even inspired by their newest Bravia tech which launched recently. Instead they probably use 96 dimming zones again which is a joke for such a high price. To me it seems it is basically the same panel from mark 1 with a bit more brightness made possible by higher power input, thus more energy. Inzone M9 is outdated higher end tech by today’s standards. I’d have immediately bought if they had added way more zones compared to its predecessor.

[@Luke973T]

@@tinybit780 but which monitors are better for ps5 at 27 inches?

Either of these are perfect for PS5. Although the max refresh on the console is 120hz so won't be able to max out the monitors potential
