Philips Evnia 25M4P5200T 1000Hz Monitor Listed for Around $1,184

Philips has launched the Evnia 25M4P5200T, a 24.5-inch gaming monitor designed for competitive players who need the highest possible frame rates. This display hits a 1000Hz refresh rate at FHD resolution, which matters because it reduces input lag and motion blur in fast-paced shooters. We see this as a direct answer to esports users who prioritize speed over high-resolution visuals.

Fast IPS panel with 0.3ms response time targets competitive gamers

The monitor uses a Fast IPS panel built with BOE ADS Pro and oxide technology. Philips claims this is the industry's first eye-protection native 1000fps esports monitor. The 0.3ms gray-to-gray response time ensures frames change quickly, while Smart MBR technology can push the effective response time down to 0.1ms. This combination targets gamers who want crisp motion without the ghosting common in high-refresh panels.
