Philips Launches Trio of Momentum 3000 Gaming Monitors
Philips is continuing its expansion into the gaming monitor market with no less than three new 27-inch, 1080p displays in the Momentum 3000 family. Common to all three models is adaptive sync, a 165 Hz refresh rate, a 4 ms response time and a 1 ms input lag. All three displays also feature two HDMI 2.0 ports, a DP 1.2 port, a 3.5 mm audio jack and a pair of integrated 5 W speakers.
The 27M1N3200VS and 27M1N3200VA sport a VA panel with a 250 cd/m² typical brightness and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. The 27M1N3200ZA on the other hand, gets an IPS panel with the same brightness, but a lower contrast ratio of 1100:1. The 27M1N3200VS has a fixed stand and is as such the cheapest model out of the three with an MSRP of €269, with the 27M1N3200VA coming in at a mere €10 more, at €279, with the added benefit of a height, pivot and swivel capable stand. Finally the 27M1N3200ZA will cost €309, also with the adjustable stand.

Seems like the stand has an unusually large "cover" at the rear though.
DP 1.2, 1080p, etc. etc.
2009 called, said they had 120Hz 13 years ago. This should be default refresh rate now, not 60Hz, I guess the can use the 'gaming' moniker for anything above 60Hz since it's still around. Reminds me of the vga port, maybe they should add a vga port to the 1080p screen. Oh can I get a carb on my next vehicle please?
*disappointed monitor enthusiast*
Chinese using now the Logo, I have news for them, they should rebuild trust from ground zero.
My level of trust at anything branded as Philips today, this is also a big zero.
Everyone wants to know ONE thing and one thing only; Can it do dark transitions without smearing? Realistically if it can get 90% of the way through a 0-20% transition in under two of it's 165Hz frames, then it's good enough and better than a majority of VA monitors on the market.
That is, of course, nowhere near 4ms, and closer to three times slower than that.This. I'm not even sure why LCD panels settled on 75Hz as the default, either. It's such a random number that matches almost no common content without pulldown or judder.
120Hz works so well.
And it's not dead in the EU, you see their healthcare stuff everywhere.
there is no monitor with 1 ms input lag
Let's not forget whom leading the dance:
Samsung and LG = both from Korea.
EIZO = Japan
As has been said the importance here, is has black smear been fixed, are viewing angles better, contrast ratio, and important features like kvm, pip, detailed osd showing color compression, input ports etc.
Industry needs to stop focusing on fps. Every monitor review now focuses on it.
I agree that only some games are about high FPS, but even so, a gaming monitor that doesn't do 120Hz+ in 2022 doesn't make much sense.
Also, yes, high-refresh is a gimmick outside the minority of games that benefit from that, there are other more important things when it comes to image quality (like those that you posted).
