mini paired with Hauwei's new 4.5K 3:2 monitor = iMac killer?

[Amethyst1]

are there any real benefits?

If you do something that benefits from 10 bpc, yes.

is it actually usable at this resolution (mean is the display not blurry running on non-native resolution)?

The MateView stretches that resolution to fill the screen. Whether the blurriness caused by that is noticeable or annoying is 100% subjective.

I was wondering to buy or not this display for my futur Mac mini but I want a display for my PS5 too and that Huawei monitor is not really good with these black bars

 

[Pezimak]

In the UK, I bought one in April for £400 and one in late May for £500 (both including 20% tax) and the Amazon price is currently back down to £449 (RRP is supposedly £600)

So (a) how good a deal this display is depends on where you live and (b) if you don't like the price, wait a while.

I'd say it was a no-brainer at £400, still pretty good at £500 and, at £600, becomes a case of how much you want the (nearly unique) 3:2 4k+ @ 28.2" display format.

I paid full price for my Hauwei but that’s because I got it when it launched, it’s when my workplace was asking all equipment bar laptops to be returned and if you want to work from home you had to provide your own equipment, so I split purged on the monitor, a decent mechanical keyboard and Logitech MX Master mouse, figured as I’ll be using them for 8 hours plus a day during the week it was worth the investment. Better than the equipment work provides.
The only other monitor I’ve seen I like is the new curved 48” LG OLED, but that’s a tad more expensive lol.

I did pick up on something someone said in a thread on here, and that’s thermal throttling, it will be interesting to see if the new Mac Mini M2 Pro suffers from test or not, the Studio as I understand does not.

Sorry for the question, i've attached this monitor to my m1 mac mini, first fantastic thing, I apparently solved my flickering problems, but i have one problem, by hdmi i've only 50hz, seeing the posts in this thread it's apparently normal this cause the 2.0 hdmi support of the monitor.

Now I've a question, can i buy this cable to solve and go up to 60hz mainteining hdpi? I attach. the link here

Yes, such a USB4 cable should work fine to get 60 Hz at full resolution.

Your English is pretty good actually.

Didn’t your Mateview come with a USB-C cable? I’ve been using that with my Mac mini without issue.

I posted a while back in this thread, and finally got around to ordering one when the Mac mini pro was released. Overall, I am very happy with it. I have a few little nags, but nothing serious…especially for the price.

I was expecting the ports being on the side of the monitor stand to drive me crazy, but I keep the monitor low enough that I don’t notice it at all…

Good point. Mine came with one, and that's the one I'm using too.

Hey everyone. Is the MateView still available in your country? In Germany it's not available anymore on the HUAWEI Website an basically no other shop has it in stock. Was it discontinued?

It's still available here in Canada.

Note that in Canada, I don't think they released the version with WiFi support. Mine does not have WiFi, and I have never seen the WiFi version for sale here.
