In tandem with the growing popularity of gaming over recent years, users’ tastes in their equipment have become increasingly sophisticated. One such trend is the use of ultrawide monitors in gaming setups which have completely won over the hearts of gamers everywhere and for good reasons as well.
These larger screens not only boast an impressive set of hardware, but more importantly, they offer a significantly more intimate and immersive gaming experience thanks to the larger screen estate that surrounds the gamer.
The refresh rate is more often than not the deciding factor when users are looking to purchase a new gaming monitor. Given the quality of games and the calibre of gaming PCs nowadays, users need to have at least one display with a 144Hz refresh rate at the bare minimum before they can enjoy genres such as First-Person Shooters (FPS).
It is the question of whether the new display is capable of offering a visually richer viewing experience to enhance the gameplay experience. Lastly, users are also looking out for monitors with eye protection features to relieve the fatigue built up from their long gaming sessions, which includes dry eyes and irritation due to exposure to blue light.
Grounded by extensive research and in-depth understanding of gamers’ needs and behaviours, Huawei officially launched the HuaweiMateView GT — its first immersive surround screen monitor that is designed for gamers and users seeking next-level audio and visual entertainment.
An immersive viewing experience ablaze with colours
The Huawei MateView GT features a 34-inch screen with a screen resolution of 3440 x 1440 and an ultra-wide aspect ratio of 21:9, giving approximately 33 percent more viewing area than most mainstream 16:9 screens.
With a 1500R super-curved design, the screen provides an immersive gaming experience with its significantly larger field of view. The Huawei MateView GT empowers users with a level of clarity and detail beyond the capabilities of the naked eye, allowing them to enjoy the thrill of the game like never before.
The depth of gameplay immersion hinges on the colour gamut of the display. The Huawei MateView GT supports a cinematic 90 percent P3 colour gamut and 10-bit colour depth, covering 1.07 billion vibrant colours.
With a professional-grade colour accuracy of ΔE<2, the monitor also allows gamers to indulge in a gorgeous and hyper-realistic visual feast.
Gain a competitive edge in games with a blazing 165Hz display
The refresh rate is the key defining feature for any gaming monitor, and is usually associated with the quality of the display. While the basic entry-level monitors are usually capable of running up to 60Hz, the refresh rate for higher-end gaming monitors can oftentimes be up to 160Hz.
Higher refresh rates reflect better video quality, reduced damage to the eye, and an overall improved gaming experience. Conversely, a low refresh rate can result in flickering screens which put unnecessary strain on the eyes and accelerate fatigue.
The Huawei MateView GT boasts an impressive 165Hz refresh rate, effectively eliminating display flicker for a buttery-smooth gaming experience for its users.
Furthermore, in genres like FPS where a split-second decision can determine the outcome, a higher refresh rate can offer users invaluable advantages to help them pull ahead of their competitors.
A universal dread among the gaming community is to experience the dizzying screen tearing, which would compromise gaming experience. What’s worse, severe tearing can even cause a mild headache.
To offer a tear-free experience, the Huawei MateView GT dynamically adapts the display refresh rate to variable frame rates. Instead of sticking to a particular refresh rate, it supports a variable refresh rate by leveraging an adaptive synchronization technology, eliminating screen-tearing, stuttering, and latency issues for a fluid gameplay experience.
The Huawei MateView GT also comes with the Dark Field Control and Crosshairs feature to elevate their FPS gameplay experience.
Leveraging the Dark Field Control, users can adjust the display brightness and contrast at any single moment to help them gain an edge over their hidden in-game enemies. Users can also take advantage of the Crosshairs feature to overlay their game with a crosshair and help them drastically improve their aiming.
Innovative and meticulous design that powers up gameplay
The Huawei MateView GT sports an innovative and functional unibody SoundBar design which serves as a monitor base as well as powerful dual speakers.
The Soundbar supports touch control for volume, highly convenient and intuitive even during gameplay. It also features an RGB lighting hub with 36 individually addressable RGB lights, offering an extensive range of colour-changing options.
What’s more, users can customise their favourite lighting effects. Coupled with the intelligent noise-cancelling microphone at the top of the monitor, HUAWEI MateView GT can create an ultimate atmosphere for gamers — freeing them of the need to have separate device set-ups for audio input and output.
Extended gaming sessions may cause damage to the eye. The Huawei MateView GT has passed the TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification, meaning it is more than capable of filtering out harmful blue light during games.
The monitor also supports DC Dimming technology, eliminating screen flickering which accelerates cause eye fatigue.
After accumulating years of technological expertise in the fields of smartphones, notebooks and tablets, Huawei is now leveraging its innovative technologies and quality craftsmanship into its all-new monitor line-up.
As the company’s first immersive curved display, the Huawei MateView GT inherits the spirit of the Mate Series and is an ideal display for both gamers and users seeking more immersive audio and video entertainment.
The Huawei MateView GT retails in the Philippines for PhP 28,999. From July 16 to 23, it will be coming with free Bluetooth speakers worth PhP 1,499.
Gamers ready to elevate their rig with a flagship curved gaming screen can check out the MateView GT on the official Huawei Online Store, and flagship stores on Shopee and Lazada.
