The Eve Spectrum 4K is a 27-inch 4K 144Hz gaming monitor with all the usual features. That was less than ideal, but for now, let’s shift into a look at the actual hardware Eve are offering. We wouldn't advice buying it this way when basically every other monitor we could just buy from a local store for a fraction of the shipping cost. For those of you buying abroad however, on top of paying $800 for the monitor and stand, the only shipping option was $184 for supposedly “express” shipping. We bought it knowing full well it wouldn’t ship until September, and it took a few extra weeks to arrive, so a short delay. That didn’t actually occur until October 4, a month and a half later, and it ended up arriving at its destination on October 12. They requested the remaining payment in the middle of August, claiming the product was “almost ready to ship.”
To keep this simple, so we can get into the actual review, we bought the monitor at the end of July and put down a $100 reservation with Eve claiming a shipping date of September 2021. We specifically ordered one after the first wave of reviews, to emulate the experience of a buyer who read one of those reviews and wanted to make a purchase.
The good news is that the product arrived. So we secretly shopped this monitor to a different address and details so Eve wouldn’t know it was us. We were somewhat concerned that the product could be a scam – if they took pre-orders and never shipped units to customers beyond the first wave and to reviewers. The Eve V tablet was a pretty good product, but it was plagued with production issues and delays, and the refund process was poor to say the least, judging by various user reports.Įve did offer us a monitor review unit, but we wanted to assess whether they would actually deliver a monitor to us after pre-ordering, and to see what the whole process is like. Now, as part of this review, we decided to buy a Spectrum 4K because Eve doesn’t have a great track record as a company in delivering products on time as promised.
Today we’re taking a look at a very heavily requested monitor, the Eve Spectrum 4K which is a 'crowd-designed' project just as they had done before with the Eve V tablet we reviewed a few years back.
