Huawei MateView


If you’re not running a gaming YouTube channel, the MateView may be the better monitor. It has a flat 28.2” IPS LCD with 3:2 aspect ratio and a higher resolution to boot, 3,840 x 2,560 px. Besides being sharper, it is also brighter at 500 nits (typical), with a DisplayHDR 400 certification and flicker-free DC dimming. Contrast is not as good, though, 1,200:1. Still, this one also supports 10-bit color depth, covers 98% of DCI-P3 and 100% of sRGB. These panels are calibrated to deltaE < 2 (or if you use sRGB, deltaE < 1).

This monitor can be the central hub of your desk. It has a USB-C with video in support and 65W charging, meaning you can plug in your phone or laptop with a single cable. There is an optional OneHop wireless connection (this only works with certain Huawei phones with Kirin 980 or later and EMUI 12.0 or later), so you can mirror your phone's screen wirelessly.

To hook up a desktop, you also have access to a mini DisplayPort 1.2 and an HDMI 2.0 port (note: HDMI 2.0 is limited to 50 Hz at full resolution, use DisplayPort or USB-C if you want to run at 60 Hz). The monitor has two USB-A 3.0 ports as well and if you have a keyboard and mouse plugged in, it could act as a KVM switch.

This model has better speakers too, 2x 5W, in addition to two microphones that can pick up your voice from as far as 4m (13 ft). Or you could use the 3.5 mm combo jack with a wired headset. The monitor comes with a 135W power adapter, which is what makes it possible for the USB-C port to output 65W.
