Philips has revealed its debut model in the Evnia 5000 range of gaming monitors - 25M2N5200P. The Dutch electronics firm has already released a diverse lineup of premium screens for enthusiast gaming-types, but the relatively young games-oriented Evnia brand is now expanding into more mainstream territory with its 5000 series - the dark slate (gray-colored) chassis distinguishes this lineup from the more sophisticated offerings (usually finished in white). Philips is readying its new 25M2N5200P ultra fast gaming monitor for release in Europe next month, coming in at more budget conscious price of €299. This 24.5-inch sized mid-tier model is fitted with a snappy IPS panel rated for a maximum refresh rate of 280 Hz (in overclock mode).

Speedy gaming enthusiasts will be happy to learn that the FHD (1920 x 1080) Fast IPS-type panel accommodates a 0.5 ms MPRT response time. The 25M2N5200P appears to be quite a unique case when compared to equivalent competitors - AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive synchronization and motion blur reduction (MBR) can be enabled in parallel which provides the end user with a fast and smooth in-game experience, free of major image ghosting issues. Philips will be offering customers who prefer VA panel technologies an alternative model called the 25M2N3200W, set for release in European markets within the next few months.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these monitors aren't made by Philips, but rather a company which has leased the Philips name as it cut off most of its businesses and restructured into a medical equipment corporation.

Anyhow, Evnia lost me with their tone-deaf, corporate virtue-signal overload marketing, it seems that the people who are currently running this brand are not gamers and do not have the faintest clue on how to market their products towards gamers, because what they have on their website ain't it.

Not to mention the much higher than normal prices and despite the fact that they've translated their website into multiple languages, including my country's, I'm perfectly willing to chalk it down as yet another "look, we're a global company who truly care about each and every person no matter where they come from!" marketing gimmick because in the several months the brand's existed, I haven't seen a single one of their products available in Brazil. Not a single one.

Such a shame, I was a huge fan of Philips displays.

The monitors are made by MMD, which is a company under TP Vision, which makes Philips branded TVs. TP Vision is in turn owned by TPV Technology, which is a xinese company that owns AOC and Envision among other brands.

I see, I went to dig in and found that the Brazilian Philips Store (brand shop) is the only place that has the monitor, seemingly tucked away in the listings for a cool 13,499 BRL. The Alienware AW3423DW (with G-Sync module) can usually be found for 9,499 on sale and is currently at 10,199 on Dell's website. Poor show from the get go. The other monitor which uses this panel, Samsung's Odyssey G8, is also readily available, offers Smart functionality (so you can use Spotify and Netflix without turning your computer on) and is also cheaper at 11,399. Both of these have significant advantages over Evnia's flagship.

But those prices on these monitors are still astronomical in general, no one can beat LG in pricing because they assemble their TVs locally. 48 inch C2's (still practically the best gaming OLEDs fullstop) are easily found at 4,499 (cheaper than they cost in America once converted to dollars), and the 65 inch G2 series which are basically their flagships are still cheaper than both the G8 and this Evnia, priced around the same as the AW3423DW in general.

Poor show to all involved.

48 - 280Hz is a good range, samsungs 240Hz monitors are 80-240 and make for some complications in a lot of games.
As an example borderlands 3 drops to 30FPS in all in-game cutscenes, so that'd be pushed to 90Hz on those displays - but 60Hz on these


(The bigger the transition with VRR modes, the greater the chance of brightness flickering and other visual oddities - Nvidia always triple if it fits, otherwise they double)

yeah thats sad, and a common problem here in Au

Fortunately people have learned not to trust the cheaper brand names - we have one called "Prism" that spams our social media to sell displays that are always on a sale thats just about to end we promise buy it now... and you never know what you'll get, since its random mish-mash of other brands hardware
