Huawei has officially announced its first set of standalone monitors – the MateView and MateView GT for the global market. This is coming just a few weeks after the sleek monitors were first launched in China. The MateView GT is specifically designed as a gaming monitor and will be sold in Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the Nordic region, the Middle East, Africa, Russia, Asia-Pacific, Western European Union, Japan, and other regions.

Huawei MateView features an expansive 28.2-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 3840 x 2560 pixels, 500 nits peak brightness, a 94% screen-to-bod ratio, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. You also get a 98 percent DCI-P3 color gamut with 100 percent sRGB that is vital to media-based professionals. The monitor utilizes a minimalist design, with ultra-thin bezels on all sides but is feature-rich. It also features a broad stand that expands into the base.
In terms of the interface, the MateView monitor features two USB-C ports, one for power supply, and another for display, data transmission, external charging up to 65W.

The MateView GT also packs a soundbar that is built into the base of the monitor. The soundbar consists of two 5W speakers.
