Why use DP 1.4 on this new product? AMD 7000 cards support DP 2.1, and therefore can handle the high refresh rates over DP.
Not everyone wants to use a HDMI connection.
 
Including WiFi on these monitors is ridiculous. If you think you could use it for streaming, then you're at the mercy of yet another low-power CPU solution & its interface for your streaming platforms. Plus, who watches on a standalone, small 27" monitor when you could watch it on a large-screen 4K TV? Maybe it would work for someone who doesn't have a TV & wants only one display.

Sidenote: If your PC is running on WiFi, then both your monitor & your PC could be sharing your wireless bandwidth. Just save the cost of the chip & skip adding these unnecessary add-ons!

I thought for a moment the WiFi was for streaming the display, so you could have a wireless display rather than a wired display.

Hopefully it is for that, but on second thought likely not....

Shame if it's not for wireless monitor, we already have wireless keyboards & mice. Just missing a WiFi antenna(s) on gpu to have a true wireless connection. Wait if that's a 540Hz display does that mean 540 fps just to get the image?
