Of course, mentioning such a trifle as, you know, screen resolution in a press release announcing your new display is completely unnecessary. No one needs that pointless information. Thanks, CM.

Yeah, it wasn't mentioned in the video either... Added a note with info from another site.

Is the same GP2711 that monitor's unboxed review couple of weeks back or a new one?

Hmm, interesting, I guess it should be the same one.

Skimming through the video and looking at the specs, it does seem to be the same monitor. Did… did they just re-announce an already launched product? Was it not available in some markets and thus technically not launched? Does CES even work like that? I don’t think that it’s strictly US market oriented, is it?

no mention of fald zone counts, cooling fan or if enabling the mini led double the input lag as other panels do.

It's not actually on store shelves yet. Several reviewers got review units in advance, with Monitors Unboxed being one of them. TFT Central also got one, but are holding their review to see if the issues they ran into get resolved with a firmware update before the official release.

Based on the review data we have for the options currently available, if you want a 1440p panel with a mini-LED backlight, then the AOC Q27G3XMN is probably the best compromise of price ($280 MSRP in the US), user experience, and HDR picture quality. The GP2711 as it is has way too many issues to recommend, though. As does Acer's XV275U P3. And CM's previous GP27Q monitor was too expensive at $500 - $550.

15W should not be considered power delivery, that's just sad

How many zones?

More is better but it's not just the number of zones, it's what they do with them. The Sony Inzone m9 only has 96 zones and is probably the best FALD monitor out there because it has basic working firmware and very good dimming control straight from the Bravia TV division

If this is the same monitor Hardware Unboxed reviewed it continues the cycle of cheap mini led monitors having crap and underdeveloped firmware.

Wait until you see this year's new Sony mini-led TV's, they have made some big improvements and can drive the mini-leds at a large number of brightness levels not just on or off. IIRC they have also greatly increased the number of zones. Can't wait for full comparison reviews.

Unfortunately they don't do monitors, only TVs, the inzone series for playstation being the exception. I saw a video from HDTVtest about it and it does seem very good, 10/10 would buy over an OLED option.

The boundary between PC monitors and television sets is blurring and will continue to do so going forward.

The fact that Sony got out of the PC business does not prevent consumers from plugging in computers into Sony televisions. My primary gaming PC is plugged into a 55" LG C2 OLED television. There's a mini PC plugged into an old Toshiba TV.

The size barrier will still be there ;)

The size difference between television sets and PC monitors is a product of consumer purchasing patterns in recent years.

When I was a kid, the family TV set was probably a 13" model (a Sony incidentally). My first computer monitor was probably around 11". The largest CRT monitor that ended up on my desktop was a 21" Hitachi model. The largest CRT television I had was a 27" Sony Trinitron. For nearly 13 years I used a Dell 24" FHD monitor.

Today I have a 27" UHD monitor (LG) and a 32" QHD monitor (Dell). But in that same room as the Dell is the 39" Toshiba TV.

Not such a big difference.

And all of the TV manufacturers make smaller sets. Many American consumers will walk right by them at the store but I assure you they can actually be used with computers.

HDMI is fundamentally a television connection interface. DisplayPort is fundamentally a computer connection interface. Yet today's computers by default have HDMI connections (that's what you'll find on notebook PCs). That's plenty of evidence of convergence between the television and PC monitor worlds. Hell, my old Dell monitor (circa 2008) did not have HDMI input.
