Cooler Master’s workshop produced a new gamer monitor, which tries to make effective use of the potential of Mini-LED technology. There has been quite a bit of silence on this front for some time now, the big names nowadays mainly focus on monitors built around OLED technology and on products with classic W-LED backlighting, Mini-LED has been somewhat relegated to the background in the recent period. The Cooler Master Tempest GP2711 breaks the silence, because Mini-LED backlight works behind its VA panel.
The monitor, which comes with a clean, no frills design, has a 27-inch diagonal VA panel, which, as usual, has 178-degree viewing angles and a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz. The native resolution of the panel is 2560 x 1440 pixels, while the response time is 4 milliseconds, as far as the GtG value is concerned. These parameters are not at all special these days, there are dozens of similar products available on the market, but if we take a closer look at the other parameters, the picture changes immediately. Thanks to the Mini-LED backlight, it is possible to reach a maximum brightness of 600 nits, which is accompanied by a typical contrast ratio of 3000:1, and 576 lighting zones ensure the appropriate visual experience, so the overall picture can be interesting. The new monitor can cover 95% of the DCI-P3 color space, which is also a great value.

Thanks to AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, between 48 Hz and 165 Hz, we can enjoy the positives resulting from the dynamically changing image refresh rate, which means that the image display can be more fluid, as it is adjusted to the frame rate of the GPU. The new monitor can be filled with content through several video inputs: there are two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4 connector, and as an extra we also get a USB-C port, which comes with DisplayPort Alternate Mode support, i.e. it can also be used for video as input. This time, the latter connector offers only 15 W of charging power. There is also a two-port USB 3.0 hub and an audio output on board. According to the news, the new monitor comes with a KVM Switch function, i.e. it can even have a USB-B input, so you can control up to two configurations with a keyboard-mouse pair, alternating of course.
The factory stand provides the possibility to tilt, rotate and adjust the height of the display. According to TFT Central, the new monitor may come with a list price of around US$450, but it won’t hit store shelves until sometime early next year.
