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

Among the devices announced is the latest iteration of the HP Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor, which has grabbed our attention here at Windows Central thanks to its many useful features, impressive motion clarity, and notable visual quality — all of which are due to the new NEO:LED technology it uses in conjunction with Black IPS.

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

According to HP, the 31.5-inch Series 7 4K Monitor is capable of reaching up to a 120Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time while producing up to 99.4% of Adobe RGB, 99.4% of P3, 100% of sRGB, which is well within the color range realm of an OLED display. Using IPS Black technology, it even produces 2700:1 contrast. Impressive indeed for an IPS panel.

HP Eye Ease allows the monitor to be put in low blue light modes to reduce eye strain during computer sessions. As with most HP displays, this monitor can be managed using HP Display Center software.

To keep focus on the beautiful screen and the visuals it displays, this monitor offers a borderless design with micro-edge bezels. It's also anti-glare, so pesky reflections don't distract from the main event.

But the HP Series 7 Pro 4K is not just beautiful to look at; it also provides several convenient features that make it perfect for creative projects and artists. Namely, it offers a Smart KVM, allowing owners to use the same keyboard and mouse between two connected devices.

Additionally, it offers a healthy range of ports, complete with RJ45 for a wired internet connection, Thunderbolt 4 Type-C for connecting those aforementioned devices, and USB-A ports for various accessories. Meanwhile, this display also has Single Power On, which is a handy feature that, as the name implies, wakes your PC when you power on the monitor.

Getting the monitor into a perfect viewing position should be easy enough, given that it can be adjusted vertically, tilted, swiveled, and pivoted until the display is in the best location for your setup. And if you'd rather mount the monitor, it has a detachable base and supports 100x100m VESA mounting.

The 31.5-inch HP Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor (2026) is expected to be available in March on the HP website. Pricing has not been revealed yet, but will be disclosed closer to that launch period.
