Huawei has discreetly updated its monitor lineup with the introduction of the MateView SE (2024). This model follows the 2022 version with significant improvements in display specifications. However, the overall user experience remains similar to that of the MateView SE (2022). Let’s delve into its details.
Huawei MateView SE (2024) Specifications
The new MateView SE retains its predecessor’s core design and 23.8-inch 1080p IPS panel. A notable enhancement is the refresh rate, which has been increased from 75Hz to 100Hz. While this upgrade might offer slight improvements in tasks such as scrolling or navigating menus, it is unlikely to have a substantial impact on gaming performance, given the Full HD resolution.
In terms of connectivity, the original MateView SE featured a VGA port along with HDMI and DisplayPort. However, in the 2024 model, Huawei has completely removed the VGA port.
As VGA is an outdated standard and most modern computers and devices now use HDMI for both audio and video, this change is unlikely to be problematic.
Other specifications remain mostly unchanged. The monitor continues to offer 250-nit peak brightness and 90% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, making it suitable for basic productivity tasks but not ideal for high-end creative work. Features like the 5-way joystick control and TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light and flicker-free operation are also carried over.
Additionally, Huawei includes an “e-book mode,” which alters the display to a monochrome color scheme for a more paper-like reading experience, potentially beneficial for extended reading sessions.
Price and Availability
Currently, the MateView SE (2024) is available in China at a price of CNY 569 (approximately USD 91). This makes it an affordable choice. However, there is no information yet on its availability in international markets.
