Huawei Mateview 28.2"

Anyone have this monitor?

I want to get it for editing, not gaming. It seems to have the features that I want. 60hz is fine for work, 3:2 ratio is actually same ratio as camera sensor. Good colours from review.

Any user experience here?

Thanks

Sitting in front of one right now. Generally happy with it, it's not very bright but I don't mind and everything works as expected. I've never connected HDMI into it though, only USB-C.

One thing is that you can't remove the stand. You plug the cables into it rather than the display. It's got an external power brick with USB-C input, which was interesting to see.

Brightness should be fine as it won't be near a window. Can't remove the stand, not a problem as long as it can go high enough which from reviews, looks like it can. The power by USB-C thing, interesting but I can make it work.

I can't seem to find any downside for what I want it for, seem too good to be true...

It hasn't been out long enough to know about longevity, that could be where the trade-offs were made. Otherwise, I can't find any serious issues either.

The only downside is that it doesn't hit as high in Adobe RGB as I liked, one review suggests 90%. But to get 99%, like the BenQ SW270C, it cost 80% more at £699. Quite a big jump percentage wise in price.

But then I have been editing on Apple screens forever and that only has 86% Adobe RGB so this is fine in the real world for my use.

It's less than 1/4 the price of the Apple Studio Display, or 1/2 the price of the next monitor that I would get.

Tap the button to bring up settings, swipe left to select brightness, then swipe left or right to adjust.

Swipe left does nothing? Or am I in the wrong screen?

Definitely wrong screen. When connected to a computer, just touch the button and then swipe left to bring up the brightness menu. It will remember the setting for that computer.
