Eve gaming monitor going glossy
    2022-02-21  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

WHAT is a common feature on smartphone, TV and laptop displays that doesn’t exist yet on a gaming monitor? The answer is a glossy display.

Eve, the startup best known for its detachable tablet, wants to change that, and has officially announced the “first-ever glossy 4K gaming monitor.” This isn’t a new product, but rather, a version of the Spectrum monitor Eve released last year. The company claims it worked with LG to make changes to the polarizer film, a part of the LCD module, to create a glossy finish that has higher contrast and better clarity than its matte counterparts.

After teasing the product over the past few months, Eve gave an early version to YouTuber Dave2D who said he immediately preferred the look of the glossy panel, calling it “visually, empirically a better experience” and noted that text is significant sharper without the matte diffusion layer. The downside is that reflections are more visible in brighter lighting conditions.

The glossy coating option will be made available for both the 27-inch, 4K 144hz Spectrum and QHD 280Hz Spectrum models. Other noteworthy specs include HDR600 certification and HDMI 2.1 support.

The Finnish company Eve-Tech made headlines in the consumer tech world in 2017 when it launched the Eve V, a detachable tablet and one of the first direct rivals to Microsoft’s Surface. The device was generally well-received by critics and customers alike, earning it the title of “Surface killer.” Things were going well until the startup hit production delays and couldn’t keep up with a spike in orders. Some customers waited upwards of a year to receive their orders.

Eve’s next attempt was the Spectrum monitor, but the story here is the same. When exactly it plans to release this glossy panel remains unclear as Eve has only vaguely stated it will “make it happen” and to “stay tuned” for updates. (SD-Agencies)
