It looks like the clock sound in the main game is what the '09 pilot used in the WC. If they use that one in the main game, and the more intense flute clock in the WC, that'll be a Damn Good Call.

The clip is on gsntv.com
I'd love to know where, because the only Pyramid clip I see there is the 30-second promo.

It was there earlier today, because that's how I had to view it on my iPad. It was located here GSN Pyramid earlier, but it appears to have been removed.

Here it is from the YT:

Ah, excellent, thanks much!

I am strongly thinking about moving up another cable tier for the duration of the show.

If you do, be sure to tell your TV provider your reason. Sending a message to GSN wouldn't hurt, either.

The players' monitor looks almost as big as the ones they had in New York!

Wonder what they're using for a display (tablet, maybe)?

I expect it is a tablet of some sort, but not necessarily a very large one: note that there's a big mask around it (to shield glare from studio lights, I imagine).

It looks like everything's above table height, too, which probably makes it look taller than it would have if it was in a cutout in the desk like the 70s/80s monitors.

I know this is ridiculously nitpicky, but I wish the chyron had an outline around the text; it's a little bit hard to read against the yellow background.

Interesting...I noticed the back shadow, but didn't think it was too bad. I see what you mean though.

Gotta be.

I doubt it's that complicated...small LCD monitors (such as this one, though I bet if I checked Happ Controls or one of the other arcade electronics companies I'd find other, more industrial options) are available for far cheaper than you would pay for a tablet, which you'd need to write an interface for.

/hmm. I can think of a few uses for one of those, at that price. Ponderous.

A miniskirt isn't annoying, so that can't be it.
