The catch could be expected from Xiaomi or LG, who practice dumping in the PC monitor market. But not from Huawei. The Chinese manufacturer makes an offer to customers that is difficult to refuse. Monitor Huawei MateView GT XWU-CBA with a 27-inch diagonal, simply leaves no chance for competitors in terms of quality-price ratio.

There are 2 factors that can stop a buyer. This is a VA matrix and a color depth of 16.7 million shades. According to the first criterion, we must not forget that the display is curved. So, the picture will maintain quality at any angle. With an IPS matrix, there would be blackouts. But the color depth, especially for 27-inch monitors, raises questions. After all, most manufacturers have long switched to 1 billion shades. This is probably why the price is so low.
On the other hand, the Huawei MateView GT XWU-CBA monitor is quite handy for PC gaming. If you have a gaming video card (for example, 2080 nVidia), you can get a stable picture in 2K at 165 Hertz. TÜV Rheinland certification can be added to the advantages. Its presence affects the complete absence of blue radiation harmful to the eyes of the display. Which is convenient for surfing the Internet and working with texts. Plus, there is a height adjustment, which, oh, how many monitors lack.
