Philips Evnia 25M2N3200W Gaming Monitor Review

Display Analysis
This isn’t the most colour-accurate monitor in the Philips range, but it’s certainly not lacking either, with 93% of the DCI-P3 colour scale, it’s no surprise the monitor looked so good in my own testing, and blues and reds, in particular, were nice and vibrant while still being accurate.
The default gamma setting clocked in at 2.1, but honestly, it’s so close to 2.2 that I doubt you would really notice if I calibrated this to be more accurate.
The grey ramp is very good, with a nice smooth curve, and actually, there’s very little deviance despite the drastic-looking hill on the chart, with only about 120 Kelvin changes throughout the testing. It’s a little on the cold side at 7000K, but you can set the monitor to its Warm colour profile, and this brings that back in line.
It was rated as having a brightness of 300cd/m, and that certainly holds true, with me recording 323cd/m at 100% but that’s a synthetic test that shows peak brightness, so something a little lower is more realistic.
Colour accuracy is good, not amazing, but certainly nothing to be concerned about either. I do think the default profile is a little on the blue side, and I do mean a little. However, setting the monitor to a warm profile will give you more accurate colours, improve the grey ramp, and is also just subjectively better to the eye.
