I’m a big fan of the Evnia monitors, and rightly so, they’re some of the most impressive-looking and best-equipped monitors on the market today! Now, Philips has revealed a new entry to their prestigious 8000 series, with the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L, which comes crammed full of amazing features!
It sports a massive 48.9-inch (124.3 cm) QD-OLED panel, a 32:9 SuperWide aspect ratio, 5120 x 1440 resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate, Ambiglow lighting, ultra-fast response times, and DTS Sound. All of those are sure to put a big grin on the face of any PC gamer, but even more so, the price will please you all too. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not cheap, but with an MSRP of £869.99, it’s a far cry from the £2000+ a monitor like this would have cost just a few years ago!
Immersive and high-quality imagery
A hallmark feature of the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L is the QD-OLED panel. Certified with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 for an exceptional HDR experience, and certified with VESA ClearMR 8000 for butter-smooth gameplay, visuals on this monitor are assured to be rich in colour, sharp and blur-free. Furthermore, the SuperWide (32:9) QD-OLED panel, when combined with the monitor’s 1800R curvature, provides a high-quality and immersive adventure to all gamers. With a 10-bit colour depth, supreme sRGB colour accuracy (DeltaE < 2) and a high gamut coverage (99% DCI-P3), the Evnia monitor reproduces vibrant, true-to-life colours. The large screen is like having two 16:9 QHD monitors side by side and allows gamers to play on a singular screen instead of a dual-monitor setup; thereby creating a more seamless and smooth usage.
Made for speed
In addition to this, the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L can reach a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz and lightning-fast response times of up to 0.03 ms GtG, thanks to its advanced QD-OLED technology. This high refresh rate and very low response time enable gamers to hit targets faster with clear visuals guaranteed. For additional picture enhancement, the monitor is equipped with the SmartImage Game mode that makes it even easier to achieve the best in-game visuals.
Booming sound features
Adding to a top-of-the-line gaming experience is the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L’s DTS Sound feature. When considering the monitor’s other immersive features, such as its curved frame and Ambiglow lighting, the DTS Sound feature thereby engulfs the gamer by enhancing the sound and creating an atmosphere that makes one feel as if they were part of the game. The monitor’s four speakers offer a combined output of 30 W, which adds an extra touch of power and excellence.
Award-winning design and everyday functionality.
In the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L’s feature arsenal, some elements are also adapted for everyday use, making it an ideal large-screen productivity powerhouse. With features such as the MultiClient Integrated KVM switch, LowBlue Mode, and a height-adjustable stand, it is made for the flexibility of switching between sources, ergonomic comfort, and eye protection during extended periods of blue light exposure.
For improved connectivity with mobile PCs, the monitor also features a 4-port USB hub and a USB-C input offering up to 90 W USB Power Delivery.
Along with its functional features, the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L is a beauty to look at, sporting an award-winning design. Ringing in as a Red Dot winner 2023 and iF Design Award 2023 winner, the monitor’s design is made with immersive gaming and technical performance in mind.
