About this deal

While I loved my time with the Huawei MateView GT I don’t think it’s for everyone. Some will not like the 1500R curve for standard PC work while others won’t like the space the soundbar takes up on a desk but this can, of course, be negated by using a monitor arm. However, if you need a colour accurate monitor with all that extra screen real estate during the day and like to game at night, it’s hard to look past the MateView GT. While its price tag may seem high to some, when you take into account the high specs and impressive features it’s money well spent. Don’t use the first three modes, though – with those deployed there’s still plenty of blurring. Level four is the highest Overdrive mode on this display, and it’s by far the best. There’s still a bit of blurring, but the ghosting, inverse ghosting and blur remains dark and minimal compared to the other options. That top Overdrive level delivers the crispest, smoothest experience by far. And, for all the MateView’s great looks, don’t expect much adjustment. The Huawei has a middling 110mm of height adjustment and it can tilt, but it has no swivelling, no portrait mode ability and no VESA compatibility. The Huawei MateView GT is the firm’s first gaming monitor, and it’s an unexpected move from the well-known phone manufacturer. They’re not infallible, though. The bass may be punchy, but it does overwhelm the mid-range a little, and the top-end is a tad tinny. These speakers aren’t as good as a proper soundbar, a decent TV, or good external speakers.

Don’t look to the Huawei if you’re a gamer, either. The MateView’s extra height means it uses 9.8 million pixels, which is over a million more than a conventional 4K panel. You’ll need a hugely powerful GPU to properly power this panel, and it only has a 60Hz refresh rate and 8ms response time anyway. The MateView GT is a better option there.The 5W speakers are only mediocre, too: muddy and underwhelming. They’re fine for casual YouTube viewing and video calls, but that’s it. At least the MateView has dual microphones.

The Samsung M7 might be cheaper than the Huawei, but it does compete on some fronts. It has more smart media and office features, and Samsung’s devices offer similar projection and connectivity options. Samsung’s display is a 4K panel with a conventional 16:9 aspect ratio, so you get fewer pixels, and its plastic casing isn’t as stylish as the metallic MateView. Under the hood, there’s little to choose between the two: both are 60Hz IPS displays.

The stand is solid and allows for height and tilt adjustment but no swivel or twist. There’s the 3:2 aspect ratio, for starters, and the 4K-busting resolution – and the Huawei MateView also includes wireless display projection and big claims about its DCI-P3 performance.Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. You also get gaming features such as crosshairs and three levels of dark field control to brighten shadows in FPS games — great for revealing enemies hiding in dark corners. The Huawei has good colours. The Delta E of 1.41 is below the point where human eyes will detect deviations, and the colour temperature of 6318K is excellent. Huawei’s screen rendered 99.2% of the sRGB gamut at 122.7% volume, which means bold, bright colours in mainstream games, and it also displayed 86.9% of the DCI-P3 gamut. That’s a little below Huawei’s claimed 90% figure, but this is not a bad bill of health – only the Cooler Master did better with gamuts, and the Huawei beats both rivals on accuracy.

These monitors are larger and pricier than the Huawei, granted, but another, less expensive favorite, the 2,560x1,440 Razer Raptor 27, covers 162% of the sRGB gamut, and the 32-inch Corsair Xeneon 32QHD165 does even more (194%), though neither monitor gets as bright as the others. Huawei MateView GT review: Performance Colour accuracy is excellent too with good contrast, as you’d expect from a VA panel. However, viewing angles are not as good as you’ll see on an IPS display but they’re not terrible here either. After a full calibration using my SpyderX Elite colourimeter I was easily able to produce prints that looked identical to what I was seeing on the monitor. To all intents and purposes, these are very good results indeed. Games look great on the MateView GT: the spectacular vistas and abundant neon shades of Star Wars Battlefront II are well represented and even positively ancient titles like my current sweetheart, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, benefit from the wide aspect ratio and vibrant colours.

The response time is respectable at 4ms but I did notice the slight difference between 4ms and 1ms on my one gaming monitor in some fast-paced FPS games. Switching over to the sRGB colour profile delivered an improved Delta E of 0.62 and a marginally better colour temperature of 6052K, so that’s worth using if you’d prefer a more realistic image. The MateView also displayed 99.6% of the sRGB gamut at 133.9%, so it’ll serve up every shade required with lashings of vitality. And, happily, these results were maintained at the Huawei’s maximum brightness of 500 nits. Happily, the Delta E of 1.92 ensures those colours are displayed with ample accuracy. The colour temperature of 5996K is below the ideal 6500K figure and a tad warm, but it doesn’t cause issues and doesn’t leave the display looking oversaturated. Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen.

The Huawei’s 165Hz refresh rate is good enough for mainstream gaming, including mainstream esports titles, and AMD FreeSync ensures smooth performance in every title. The big single-player titles are smooth on this panel.What about those response numbers, then? Huawei provides four levels of user-configurable overdrive in the OSD menu. It can also be turned entirely off. None provide pixel response performance that we're totally happy with. Level two and below is pretty blurry. The fastest setting, level four, is certainly sharper, but also comes with some fairly nasty overshoot and ghosting. Level three has a bit of blur and a whiff of overshoot, but is probably the best compromise. It does make sense, though: the gaming market is booming, Huawei already makes displays, and the company has ambitions beyond smartphones and laptops.
