Philips Evnia: reinventing the rules of gaming monitors

· PC Gamer

Anyone can be a gamer, regardless of their age or how skilled they are, and with the Philips Evnia range of gaming monitors you can enter a new world of fast response times, infinite contrast, superior HDR, vibrant colours and incredible QD-OLED panels.

OLED panels caused quite a splash when they erupted onto the gaming scene, with the technology being used in laptop screens and desktop monitors to provide brighter colours, enhanced contrast ratios, faster response times and thinner designs than the clunky LCD screens of old. The splicing of Quantum Dot technology with OLED to create QD-OLED brings even greater brightness for HDR games and movies, with colours that are more accurate - something that will endear these screens to those who use their PC for more than gaming too. As each pixel is self-lighting, there's no need for a backlight, and QD-OLED screens can be slimmer as a result, which leads to the striking designs and high specifications of the Evnia QD-OLED range.

Evnia is the premium choice for gaming and a forward-thinking and inventive brand. It brings modernity and a playful spirit, backed by the long experience of Philips. There's sleek good looks, the latest display technology, sustainable designs and fresh perspectives too. Evnia aims to rekindle and reinvent the joy of gaming, and its name comes from a Greek phrase meaning "to show interest in protecting and supporting someone". Evnia is the gamers’ support system, and its monitors help everyone to own their gaming experience. Let’s take a look at them.

32in QD-OLED 4K gaming monitor

Thanks to the QD-OLED technology driving it, the Evnia 32M2N8900 produces incredible visuals and is perfect for playing the latest shooters and sims. Mix this with a Display HDR TrueBlack 400 certification, it’s an absolute powerhouse of visual quality, even at its 240Hz maximum refresh rate. An anti-reflective coating on the screen prevents room lights from interfering with your game, while around the back you’ll find two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C with a useful 5Gbps hub. Meanwhile, Philips’ Ambiglow lights up your gaming room with a rear display that adapts to the colour and brightness of the image being displayed, an AI-enhanced processor helping to create a truly immersive and customisable experience.

27in QD-OLED 1440p high-speed gaming monitor

Just as bright but with a hugely fast 360Hz maximum refresh rate for twitch gaming and esports, the Evnia 27M2N8500 is a monitor with a real ‘wow’ factor. Input lag is low, as is the response time, which at just 0.03ms is among the fastest available. The 2560 x 1440 resolution keeps visuals sharp, and a DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification keeps things colourful and filled with contrast. Philips Evnia monitors benefit from a host of gaming enhancements, such as Shadow Boost, a SmartImage game mode optimised for different gaming genres, and a Smart Crosshair that enhances aiming accuracy, and this superb 27in QD-OLED screen includes them all. Naturally there's Ambiglow too, picking out aspects of the screen’s display to increase immersion and fill your room with colour.

49in QD-OLED ultrawide gaming monitor

Ultrawide monitors offer luxurious gaming, and the Evnia 49M2C8900L is no exception. Its 32:9 QD-OLED panel has a gentle curve and is so wide it’s like having two 1440p 240Hz screens next to one another, only with no gap in-between. The extra space is perfect not only for immersive gaming in simulators and shooters, but anything else you might want to do with your PC too. QD-OLED is a hybrid technology that marries OLED panels and quantum dot technology, and it guarantees high contrast, deep blacks and unlimited viewing angles, with a higher peak brightness and more vibrant colours. That ‘s certainly what you get from this huge screen, which provides a gaming experience that’s hard to forget.

34in QD-OLED curved gaming monitors

Many gamers like to mix productivity with their explorations of virtual universes, and the Evnia 34M2C6500 and Evnia 34M2C8600 are versatile 21:9 ultrawides with crystal-clear displays that truly offer the best of both worlds. Wider than a 16:9 screen and with a curve that offers the wrap-around feeling that’s essential to true gaming engagement, it also brings an expanded desktop space that will be useful to anyone working in desktop publishing, video editing, content creation or anything that requires multiple app windows open and tiled across the screen. VESA ClearMR 9000 implementation means the screen produces the lowest amount of blur in its images, as tested with a high-speed camera, and this, along with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and Philips’ Ultra Wide-Color Technology delivers a high-contrast display with a wider spectrum of colours for a more brilliant picture. Greens are more natural, reds more vivid, and blues deeper, bringing anything displayed on the QD-OLED monitor to life.
