Huawei has quietly refreshed its monitor lineup with a new entry – the MateView SE (2024). It succeeds the 2022 model with a notable update to the display specs. However, the overall experience remains familiar for those already using the MateView SE (2022). Let’s get into its details here.
Huawei MateView SE (2024) Specifications
The core design and 23.8-inch 1080p IPS panel of the latest MateView SE is the same as its previous counterpart. Huawei, nonetheless, has bumped the refresh rate from 75Hz to 100Hz. This could be a minor benefit for basic tasks like scrolling or navigating menus, but it won’t drastically impact gaming performance – especially considering the Full HD resolution.
For connectivity, the original MateView SE offered a VGA port alongside HDMI and DisplayPort. But Huawei opted to ditch the VGA port entirely in the 2024 iteration.
Since VGA is an outdated standard, and most modern computers and devices have switched to HDMI for audio and video, its removal is unlikely to be a concern.
The rest of the specifications remain largely the same. The monitor maintains its 250-nit peak brightness and 90% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, which is decent for basic productivity tasks but falls short of high-end creative displays. The 5-way joystick control and TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light and flicker-free operation also carry over.
Huawei throws in an “e-book mode” that adjusts the display to a monochrome color scheme for a more paper-like reading experience, potentially helpful for extended reading sessions.
Price and Availability
The MateView SE (2024) is available in China for a price of just CNY 569 (roughly USD 91). That price makes it a budget-friendly option. However, there’s yet to be a word on international availability.
