Blackfire Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 The new Philips Evnia 34M2C8600 is awesome. It's such a relief to say that. In recent months we've covered several new monitors based on cutting-edge mini-LED and OLED panel tech. But they've all disappointed to some degree, including Philips' own mini-LED monitor the Philips Evnia 34M2C7600MV Not Philips' new Evnia OLED, though. This thing rocks. By most measures, this new OLED monitor isn't especially novel. It's based on the same Samsung-sourced QD-OLED panel we first saw in Alienware's 34-inch OLED model. You know, the one that went straight to the top of our favourite gaming monitor list. So, it's a 3440 by 1440 pixel item with that immersive 21:9 aspect ratio and a gentle 1800R curve. Philips claims the same 250 nit full-screen SDR brightness and 1000 nit peak HDR brightness, the latter in a small 3% window. Likewise, both monitors promise 0.1ms response times and are capable of 175Hz refresh. Both brands even claim precisely the same 99.3% coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut and in each case you get VESA DisplayHDR True Black certification. So, yeah, on paper there's basically nothing to choose between them. In practice? Well, in practice it turns out this new Philips panel has a decisive advantage. https://www.pcgamer.com/philips-evnia-34m2c8600-oled-gaming-monitor-review/
