Evnia, Philips’ newest brand, released two monitors for gaming, the 34M2C8600 and the 42M2N8900. Both models are part of the higher end 8000 series and the 34M2C8600 uses a QD-OLED panel with a 175 Hz refresh rate, and the ability to reach greater than 1000 nits peak brightness. The 42M2N8900 has a 138 Hz refresh rate and no official word on peak brightness performance.
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.

The new monitor is part of the Evnia 8000 series; the highest quality of products that Evnia provides, and with that series comes unmatched features for a complete gaming experience. These features include but are not limited to: True 10-bit display for smoother color gradients, OLED display for stark contrast, 138hz refresh rate for fast page refreshing, 0.1ms GTG for quick responsiveness, DTS for enhanced sound, and UltraClear 4K UHD (3840×2160) resolution for precise imaging. In addition, the new monitor boasts a 4-sided thin bezel, a 42” screen, KVM for managing a two PC setup, a USB-C port, and a Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) for an all-around user experience.
The Ambiglow backlight, which is the hallmark of each recent Evnia 8000 series monitor and is exclusive to the Evnia brand, is also present in the Philips Evnia 42M2N8900. However, the three main features that make the Philips Evnia 42M2N8900 stand out are the 138hz refresh rate, low input lag, and OLED. These features allow for a smooth gaming experience and vibrant imagery.

Along with Ambiglow, the Philips Evnia 34M2C8600 features Display HDR True Black 400 for shadowing, UltraWide QHD 3440 X 1440 pixels for crystal clear imagery, and 0.1ms for smooth gameplay. In addition, the new curved monitor is equipped with a USB-C port, a KVM switch, and a HAS stand for an experience spoiled for choice.
However, the most notable feature of the new monitor is the QD OLED. This feature enables top-notch coloring and vibrant visuals through a merge of two technologies: OLED panels and quantum dot (QD) technology. By combining these two technologies into one feature, the new Philips Evnia 34M2C8600 monitor displays an unmatched and immersive gaming experience.
