Prepare for a stand-out gaming experience with the finest picture quality. On June 26th, 2024 the new Philips Evnia 34M2C6500 will be available for purchase and, not to mention, with powerful visual specs along with it. The large, 34-inch (86.36 cm) screen with a 1800R curvature of the Philips Evnia 34M2C6500 monitor pairs well with its WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution and QD OLED panels for a realistic and visually accurate picture experience.

Visually Oriented Gaming at Your Fingertips
The pinnacle experience of the Philips Evnia 34M2C6500 is playing visually oriented games, and it will accentuate color where it counts: The Smart Crosshair feature will automatically calibrate the color of the crosshair to be opposite of the game's background so gamers can better their aim. Not to mention, the Philips Evnia 34M2C6500's immersive curved frame would be incomplete without its QD OLED Panel, which is designed to provide incredible brightness and infinite contrast in DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 quality.

Philips, or rather its brand licence partner MMD—which is a division of TPV—has launched a new gaming monitor under its Evnia brand, namely the 32M2N8800. The model name doesn't really give away much about the specs, but what we're looking at is a 31.5-inch 4K QD-OLED display with a 240 Hz refresh rate. The panel is VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 certified and ClearMR 13000. Like most displays of this type it has a 10-bit panel with a 0.03 ms grey to grey response time and 99 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage. The Evnia display also features a range of gaming mode features like a smart crosshair and various game mode settings. There's also support for picture by picture and picture in picture.

Connectivity wise, it's sadly stuck with DisplayPort 1.4, as well as a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports. There's also a built-in USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) hub with two USB Type-A ports, of which one supports the older USB battery charging 1.2 standard, which delivers 5 V at up to 1.5 A. There's also a 3.5 mm audio output jack and the display is also equipped with Philips' Ambiglow LED backlight on four sides. The stand supports height, swivel and tilt adjustments. The Evnia 32M2N8800 is expected to retail for around US$1000, based on pricing in Hong Kong.

TPV USA, the brand license partner for Philips monitors is launching its flagship model to the EVNIA Gaming lineup with Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 49" QD OLED Curved Gaming Monitor, setting a new standard for gaming monitors with its innovative technology and immersive features. Dedicated to bringing the joy of gaming to all players, from casual enthusiasts to hardcore pros, the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 redefines what it means to game.

"The Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 brings a new level of immersion and innovation to gaming, providing a captivating experience for gamers of all levels. With its exceptional design and advanced technology, this monitor is a standout addition to our product lineup," says James Melendez, CEO and President at TPV USA (Philips).

On 22 August 2023, the new sub-gaming brand of Philips, Evnia, announced the release of the newest addition to their premium 8000 monitor series: The Philips Evnia 49M2C8900. Designed for gamers searching for a state-of-the-art and immersive product that can perform for work or play, the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 showcases versatility with features like the large 32:9 SuperWide (48.9") screen and its complete USB-C hub.

However, this hardly scratches the surface of the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900's spec profile. Evnia, with the mission to introduce a gaming brand meant for everyone, has fully packed the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 with specs that are suited for all types of gameplay; such as a QD OLED display for pristine visuals, a 240 Hz refresh rate for fast and clear gaming, Vesa ClearMR 13000 certification for assured blur-free gaming, DTS Sound with 30 W output for exceptional and immersive audio, and the exclusive Ambiglow feature to add to the all-around alluring experience.

Diversifying the gaming world with its presence and technical features, Philips' newest brand, Evnia, released its latest monitor on 20 February 2023. This monitor, named Philips Evnia 34M2C8600, focuses on giving its customers an immersive experience thanks to its curved display and crystal-clear imagery.

Introducing Philips Evnia
Philips Evnia was launched in October 2022 with the intention of reinventing the rules in the gaming industry. The brand's motto, Reinvent the Rules, is a representative message about spreading inclusiveness in the gaming industry and Philips Evnia bases its manifesto on creating an environment for everyone through its products. With their newest product, Philips Evnia 34M2C8600, they aim to do just that.

This new 42" (105.5 cm) Evnia gaming monitor will make reality feel like a game. Innovation has arrived in the gaming world and along with it, the Philips brand Evnia, whose purpose is to create a playful, innovative, and welcoming environment in the gaming industry. While bringing innovative products to the gaming sector upon the release of Philips Evnia 42M2N8900, Philips Evnia will also initiate positive change in the gaming community through their message.

And positive change is not all that Evnia is bringing to the table. The new monitor is part of the Evnia 8000 series; the top-level category from Evnia, and with that series come unmatched features for a complete gaming experience. These features include but are not limited to: True 10-bit display for smoother colour gradients, OLED display for an impressive, rich contrast, 138 Hz refresh rate to display fast-paced action smoothly, 0.1 ms GtG response time for quick responsiveness, DTS for enhanced sound, and UltraClear 4K UHD (3840x2160) resolution for precise imaging. In addition, the new monitor boasts a thin bezel on 4-sides, 42" display size, a built-in KVM switch for managing two PCs easily, a USB-C port, and a height-adjustable ergonomic stand for an all-around user experience.

The gaming industry has come a long way. From its simple, two-dimensional debut in the 1970s and 80s, gaming has kept pace with the rapid evolution of digital technology, rising to become not just a form of entertainment but a truly immersive sensorial experience with uniquely powerful appeals. Increasingly, modern gamers expect a brand that reflects the diversity of their tastes and desires while their identities are embraced. In light of this, MMD, the leading display specialist and brand license partner for Philips monitors, is delighted to announce the launch of Evnia.

The word Evnia (Greek: Εύνοια) consists of eu (good) and nous (mind), which literally means "well mind" and "smart thinking". Evnia is used as a word to show interest to support and protect someone or something. It's often used in the context of luck. Everyone can be a gamer, and Evnia, true to the name, supports the joy of gaming for all. The definition of a typical gamer is more diverse than ever - however, the stereotype that gaming is only for teenagers is still the norm. The need for a welcoming community required a brand that could embrace every gamer, making them feel truly part of the group. Starting from its unique design, Evnia differentiates from the crowd of spec-only-driven aggressive models, bringing back the joy and fun of gaming, keeping emotional benefits at the core.

The gaming scene changed dramatically last year with the implementation of HDMI 2.1, a new enhancement in connectivity supporting a range of higher video resolutions and refresh rates including 4K @ 120 Hz, a new level for console gamers. A few months ago, console enthusiasts welcomed the first model in the all-new range of Philips Momentum Designed for Xbox monitors, the 559M1RYV (55"/139.7 cm).

Philips Momentum Designed for Xbox console gaming monitors are built to provide the ultimate experience for next-gen console gamers by including the new HDMI 2.1 input, which enables next-gen console gaming with 4K resolution and a fast 120 Hz refresh rate for an ultra-clear and ultra-smooth gaming performance. Now, the Philips monitors portfolio has expanded to include the new 329M1RV (31.5"/80 cm) and 279M1RV (27"/68.5 cm) displays.

After the introduction of the current generation of consoles, we've started to see more and more monitors with console support and now Philips has joined the fray with its new 279M1RV 4K, 144 Hz, 27-inch gaming display. It might carry a "Designed for Xbox" logo, but using HDMI 2.1 with a console limits it to 120 Hz and you really need a high-end gaming PC to get the most out of it.

Philips is using an LG Nano IPS panel that covers 98% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, a contrast ratio of 1000:1, 1 ms gray to gray typical response time and 178 degree viewing angles. The display is also HDR 600 certified, although the typical brightness is 450 cd/m². It's also G-Sync compatible, with a slightly disappointing range of 60-144 Hz, which is limited to the DP port. VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and FRL (Fixed Rate Link) are both supported over HDMI 2.1, but ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and QFT (Quick Frame Timing) seems to be absent.

Remember that awe-inspiring 4K monitor from Philips - the one with Ambiglow and that earned the world's first HDR 1000 monitor certification? It's up for grabs as we speak in multiple markets, and pricing is somewhat lower than predicted - a rare, momentous occasion (see that?). The Momentum 436M6VBPAB monitor packs an 8 bit + FRC 43" MVA panel affair that supports 4K resolution, features true Display HDR with 1000 maximum nits brightness, and also features AMD's FreeSync specification up to 80 Hz (overclocked) from its 60 Hz base frequency (minimum refresh rate is unknown, as is unclear whether it supports LFC). Additionally, the monitor features Quantum Dot technology to increase its color range (97.6% of the DCI-P3 color gamut as well as 100% of the sRGB color range)

What's more impressive though, is that Philips' Momentum monitor doesn't seem to be using local dimming to achieve its 1000 nits flash maximum brightness (required for HDR 1000 certification, with a baseline full-screen 600 nits for continuous content). Instead, Philips is apparently employing a 32-zone edge-lit solution. This is without a doubt one of the reasons this panel manages to undercut NVIDIA's 144 Hz, 4K panels, which use a 384-zone local dimming panel (besides the added G-Sync module royalties, of course). The Philips Momentum is available mostly through Amazon, and carries a €799 MSRP, which translates to around $1000 in the US.

MMD, the leading technology company and brand release partner for Philips monitors, is proud to announce its recently launched Philips 436M6VBPAB was confirmed by Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) as the first display to be officially certified for the DisplayHDR 1000 specification, capable of delivering a profoundly new viewing experience, thanks to striking brightness, deeper contrast and vibrant colours. The new Philips Momentum Line has already been honored with the Computex d & I Award 2017 by IF and Red Dot guru award: Product Design 2017 for its eye-catching and innovative design. It now proudly includes among its achievements the world-renowned VESA DisplayHDR 1000 and UHDA certification, which confirm MMD's commitment to delivering innovative products capable of satisfying even the most demanding segments of the market.

Philips have been on a roll not only with their OLED TVs, which have become some of the highest-esteemed in the market, but want to bring that premium quality to their PC monitors as well. Enter the Momentum 436M6VBPAB monitor, a 43" MVA panel affair that supports 4K resolution, features true Display HDR with 1000 maximum nits brightness, and Active Sync tech to bring it up to speed to users' interests and the latest tech (tough sadly, it's being listed as a 60 Hz panel). Have we mentioned integration of Philips' excellently mesmerizing Ambiglow technology?

Philips is promising 97.6% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, a peak brightness of over 1000 nits (needed fot that HDR 1000 certification), local dimming for deeper blacks, and support for 10-bit colour (8-bit + FRC). The display will support HDMI 2.0, Displayport 1.2, mini DisplayPort and USB Type-C (DP alt mode) inputs. This monitor may well release in the near future, but expect its pricing to be adequate to the technology it offers.

Philips has launched the 356M6QJAB/11 monitor, a 35" affair that sports a somewhat anemic resolution of just 1080p for such a diagonal size. Besides being aesthetically pleasing - whose mileage may vary, as always - there's not much to gloat about regarding its features, except for one thing: this monitor sports Philips' proprietary Ambiglow technology.

Ambiglow marries image processing capabilities with RGB LEDs that add to the viewing experience by projecting the on-screen color shifts around the monitor's bezels towards a close-proximity wall. It's not clear from Philips' product page, but it seems that this monitor's Ambiglow tech is only available on the bottom of the monitor - if so, this seems to be a mistake, since usually, the top and sides are preferred areas for color display (this editor speaks as a user of a Lightpack PC solution.)
