by

HP is going all out for CES 2026, with a wide range of products to show off for the new year.

The newly announced HP Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor really stands out to us at Windows Central. It boasts a host of helpful features, incredibly clear motion, and excellent picture quality, all thanks to its new NEO:LED technology combined with Black IPS.

Take a look at this 31.5-inch monitor’s specs yourself:

As a researcher, I’ve been exploring LG’s new NEO:LED display technology, and I’m really impressed. It’s a relatively recent development, and what sets it apart is its ability to deliver noticeably sharper details, richer blacks, and more vivid colors compared to traditional IPS panels. Many people haven’t encountered it yet simply because it’s so new.

HP’s 31.5-inch Series 7 4K Monitor delivers a smooth and vibrant visual experience. It boasts a fast 120Hz refresh rate and a 5ms response time, and covers an exceptionally wide color range – nearly 100% of sRGB, and 99.4% of both Adobe RGB and P3 – rivaling OLED displays. Thanks to IPS Black technology, it also achieves a high 2700:1 contrast ratio, which is particularly impressive for an IPS panel.

HP Eye Ease helps reduce eye strain during long computer use by minimizing blue light. Like many HP monitors, you can easily customize its settings with the HP Display Center software.

This monitor is designed to immerse you in what you’re watching. It has a nearly invisible border and a special coating that eliminates distracting glare, so you can fully enjoy the picture.

The HP Series 7 Pro 4K isn’t just visually appealing; it’s also packed with helpful features for creatives and artists. One standout is its Smart KVM, which lets you seamlessly use a single keyboard and mouse with two different computers.

This monitor provides a good selection of ports, including RJ45 for wired internet, Thunderbolt 4 Type-C for connecting devices, and USB-A for accessories. It also features Single Power On, a convenient function that automatically turns on your computer when you power on the monitor.

As an analyst, I’ve found this monitor offers a lot of flexibility in terms of positioning. You can easily adjust the height, tilt, swivel, and even rotate the display to get the perfect viewing angle for your workspace. Plus, if you prefer a mounted setup, the base comes off and it’s compatible with standard 100x100mm VESA mounts, which is a nice bonus.

HP plans to release the 31.5-inch Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor (2026) in March on its website. The price hasn’t been announced yet, but will be shared closer to the release date.
