Philips Evnia 27M2N8500 Unveiled at Gamescom with a 27″ 360Hz QD-OLED Panel

At Gamescom 2024 this week in Cologne, Germany we had chance to see the new Philips Evnia 27M2N8500 which was being launched. It’s a new 27″ sized QD-OLED monitor in the Philips Evnia 8000 range, boasting a 2560 x 1440 resolution and a 360Hz refresh rate. This range of screens offers a unique white design, and a range of top-end features including the company’s unique ‘Ambiglow’ lighting system which syncs with the content on the screen.

Philips Evnia 27M2N8500 specs
The screen is 26.5″ in size with a flat format. It’s built around a Samsung Display third gen QD-OLED panel offering a 2560 x 1440 resolution, 0.03ms G2G response time, 1.5 million:1 contrast ratio, 250 nits brightness (SDR, 100% APL), 178/178 viewing angles, 10-bit colour depth and a wide colour gamut covering 98.5% DCI-P3. The screen comes factory calibrated with a dE <2 and there is also a Smart Uniformity mode available.

The high 360Hz refresh rate of the panel is supported by adaptive-sync for variable refresh rates from compatible systems. The screen also offers a 1000 nits peak brightness for HDR, with the screen meeting the VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black certification tier. For connectivity there are 1x DisplayPort, 2x HDMI 2.1, 2x USB data ports and a headphone connection. The screen also includes 2x 5W integrated speakers with DTS sound. The screen is backed by a 3 year warranty which includes burn-in cover.
Introducing Dynamic Lighting with the Philips Evnia 27M2N8500

A new addition to the Philips Evnia 27M2N8500 is the Dynamic Lighting feature. By adding this new feature, Windows 11 users can synchronise all RGB lighting throughout their connected monitors and accessories; thereby creating a colourful ecosystem that is synchronised across all peripherals
Additional features including Ambiglow lighting

Ambiglow adds a new dimension to your viewing experience. The innovative Ambiglow technology enhances the content on the screen by creating a halo of light from the monitor. Its fast processor analyses the incoming image content and continuously adapts the colour and brightness of the emitted light to match the image. Especially suited for watching movies, sports or playing games, Philips Ambiglow offers you a unique and immersive viewing experience.

In addition, to improve users’ comfort, the monitors’ height adjustable stands offer ergonomic adjustments including tilt, and swivel adjustment. The LowBlue mode and Flicker-Free technology aim to alleviate the potential adverse effects caused by blue light emissions or flickering.
