A refreshing evaluation of Huawei MateView, a professional monitor.

Maybe you don't know, with the popularity of online office, live broadcast, education and other industries, in addition to making the notebook and tablet computer industries hot. The demand for PC monitors has also increased significantly, with shipments exceeding 30 million units. Faced with such a fast-growing market, fierce competition is inevitable. This is not a "newcomer" in the industry. Huawei officially launched MateView series monitors.

A Shuang Jie.

There are two Huawei MateView series * * *, namely Huawei MateView, a professional display, and Huawei MateView GT, a widescreen immersive display. With the popularity of mobile phone tablets, users prefer large-size desktop monitors, so the two models reach 28.2 inches and 34 inches respectively. Among them, Huawei MateView, which focuses on productivity, adopts a ratio of 3:2, supporting 4K+ resolution and 10bit color depth. After factory calibration, the average color accuracy is △ e in DCI-P3 color gamut.

Huawei MateView GT uses a 34-inch curved screen, 165 Hz, which also supports 10bit color depth and δ E.

Say goodbye to the traditional rigid minimalist appearance

Due to time constraints, I am also a professional media teacher, and I have to do photography, video content production and various word processing every day. I experienced Huawei MateView for the first time here. You can pay attention to unpacking here. The screen and bracket base have been installed, so you can use it when you take it out from here.

Unveiling the protective film, we can see that Huawei MateView adopts a minimalist design language. Through the metal bending process, the aluminum alloy frame presents a comprehensive screen look and feel effect, and the actual screen ratio is as high as 94%. The design of metallic silver wrapped panel is much more durable than the traditional black-and-white display.

Interestingly, the sections of the main components of the display screen are rectangular, and this geometric combination is also the basis of Huawei's advanced sense of MateView.

Huawei MateView, with the thinnest part of only 9.3 mm, is also different from the traditional "thick black" display. In order to achieve this effect, the magnetic back shell replaces the buckle and the display chip is peeled off from the display screen. As for the exhaust holes and sound holes of the sound box, they are uniformly arranged below the frame.

At the bottom of the screen is the smart bar of Huawei MateView. Touching the OSD menu replaces the traditional joystick or button.

You don't need to remember the corresponding buttons, and the smart bar has a visual menu.

In order to realize the simplest form, Huawei MateView connects the internal wiring to the bracket through the bracket. Of course, this single hoisting wire management structure requires extremely high technology. The advantage is that the main body has no interface, and the slight disadvantage is that the screen cannot be rotated.

↑ Lines are all connected by rotating shafts.

More efficient connection mode

The minimalist design makes the use of Huawei MateView very simple. Just connect the C port power supply at the back of the bracket to open it.

↑ Huawei MateView has two A-shaped ports and one C-shaped port for expansion.

↑ Huawei MateView uses port C for power supply, and the maximum power of the adapter is 135W W.

The first time you boot, Huawei MateView will have a concise operating instruction. Before connecting the device, it will enter the internal system of the monitor, where you can set up WIFI and select the input source of the monitor. ?

↑ Click Forward/Confirm, and double-click to return. Touch operation is very convenient.

↑ After connecting WIFI, the mobile phone and notebook can be projected.

Huawei MateView's rich connection mode is the essence, and traditional PC users can use it by connecting MiniDP line. Notebooks and mobile phone users with port C can connect to the screen through port C. The port C of Huawei MateView supports data transmission+display+charging, and the maximum output can reach 65W.

↑ The power cord and miniDP cord are behind, which are well hidden, and the desktop can be more concise.

PC users can connect to the monitor wirelessly without wired connection, which makes the office easier and more convenient. It is reported that after the subsequent OTA upgrade, the delay of wireless screen projection will be lower and the resolution will be higher.

Another feature of Huawei MateView is that the display ratio is 3:2 and the resolution is 3840×2560. Compared with 16: 9 4K display, it can display more contents. Moreover, the ratio of 3:2 matches the resolution ratio of more cameras, and the full-screen display effect can be obtained, which is convenient for the later stage. ?

Write Huawei MateView to open the PR clip, and you can add more lines to the layer.

= 16: 9 is commonly used, but it is narrow up and down, and the material pictures and layers should be moved frequently.

When the screen is divided, 3:2 can achieve the effect of juxtaposing nearly two A4 sheets. Take opening Word and browser at the same time as an example. The ratio of two parallel windows is 3:4, and it is more efficient to display more content than the 16:9 screen.

↑3:2 ratio In split-screen operation, there are much more content pictures displayed vertically.

Actual measurement of display effect

Huawei MateView focuses on professional users, and its parameters and specifications naturally belong to the high-end level, but the actual display effect naturally needs to be studied. Huawei MateView has three color gamut modes, of which P3 color gamut is the default and the color depth of 10bit can achieve the best color performance.

↑P3 color gamut mode makes the picture more vivid. If you are engaged in color matching, you can switch to 100% sRGB mode.

Supporting 10 bit color depth display is very important for content production. Not to mention the increasing support of mobile phone tablets and online video websites. On the latest cameras, 10bit video has become the mainstream format, making "movie-level" color matching a daily routine. However, in the later work, in order to unlock the experience of "details in the dark and less violence in the bright", we need to support the display with a color depth of 10bit first.

=10 bit video shooting has gradually become the mainstream. For content producers, 10 bit display has become a necessity.

Huawei MateView has a typical brightness of 500nit, which has passed VESA DisplayHDRTM 400 professional certification, and the manual maximum brightness read by the color calibrator is close to 480nit. The support of high brightness is also the premise of professional display. Like the color depth of 10bit, content production users will often encounter HDR-type film and television materials. ?

Huawei MateView has been calibrated one by one in the factory. In DCI-P3 color gamut, the average color accuracy is △ E.

According to the data, Huawei MateView used 46 color cards for color calibration on the production line. Here, the 48-color mode of the colorimeter is used for testing. The value of Δ e is between 1.6 and 3.2, which is almost indistinguishable by human eyes, and is needed by general professional monitors. According to the results of many measurements, Huawei MateView has enough stable color reproduction.

Then look at the gamma curve test, the better the gamma curve optimization, which means that the display can reset the screen brightness and contrast more accurately in daily work. Compared with Gamma2.2 standard, the curve of Huawei MateView almost coincides with the standard line, matching the clear and sharp display effect. ?

The display color uniformity of large-size displays is very important. Huawei's MateView has reached 28.2 inches, and relevant tests have also been carried out here. Judging from the data read by the color calibrator, the color temperature of each area of this screen is close to the standard value, and it is difficult for the eyes to distinguish the changes.

Although it has just entered the group chat in the display circle, Huawei has actually accumulated a lot of experience in the research and development of notebooks and smart screen TVs, and high-end products can already compete with the big brother in the industry. In Huawei's MateView series, in addition to paying attention to the screen size, resolution and color that everyone cares about, more thinking and creativity have been added to the appearance, interaction and connection mode of monitors that are often overlooked.

We are also happy to see this kind of technological innovation. For a long time, displays have existed as the work of content presentation. If users want to transmit images from smart devices, they will either be confused by the connected wires or face bad interaction. On Huawei MateView, the connection between different devices will become easier. It can even be said that new intelligent center devices will appear on users' desktops.

Of course, Huawei MateView is enough to meet the needs of professional users in terms of the basic demands of display effects. High resolution and high color accuracy, combined with the 3: 2 ratio that can display more content, satisfy everyone's imagination of efficient productivity tools.
