Philips adds another model to its Evnia gaming series of monitors. The company's latest offering is a 27-inch model meant for people who want maximum performance while not compromising on screen size. The new model, Evnia 27M2D5901A, is remarkable because it allows users to switch resolutions for two different modes.
Philips launches a 27-inch Fast IPS monitor with dual-resolution switching for professionals and gamers
With this monitor, users can either buy one that has a sharp 5K resolution, or ultra-fast 2K for gaming. It's an important feature because the monitor can be adjusted to suit different needs. Professionals can get a clear text experience, or gamers can opt for a high-refresh-rate experience on the same screen.
Specifications
- Panel Type: Fast IPS
- Resolution Mode 1: 5K (5120 x 2880)
- Refresh Rate Mode 1: 165Hz native / 180Hz overclock
- Resolution Mode 2: 2K (2560 x 1440)
- Refresh Rate Mode 2: 330Hz default / 350Hz overclock
The monitor is built around a Fast IPS panel. So, visually, users can expect the following features. There are two different resolutions and refresh rates available.
First, users can choose a resolution of 5K (5120 x 2880). With this resolution, the display will have a default refresh rate of 165Hz (overclockable to 180Hz). Secondly, users can opt for 2K resolution (2560 x 1440). When this mode is selected, the display will default to 330Hz refresh rate (overclockable to 350Hz).
Additionally, the monitor has VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification along with HDR10 to ensure the color accuracy and brightness. This allows users to enjoy smooth gradients with 1.07 billion colors. In terms of connectivity, users will find a USB-C port that also supports a power delivery of 96W for their laptops. Additionally, the monitor has a built-in KVM switch that lets users manage two different devices with the same keyboard and mouse.
The back of the monitor has an Ambiglow RGB light which reacts to on-screen content. Philips says that it's also compatible with smart home devices like Matter. You might also remember when we reported about Philips 27B2N1500 27-inch 2K monitors launching.
These models were more affordable entry models from their monitor lineup. This is more of a premium model meant for people who are willing to spend on a high-resolution display with high speed.
Overseas markets will see this monitor (Evnia 27M2D5901A) available from November 11, 2024. The recommended retail price for the monitor is set at 699 GBP (or approximately $939). This premium price is understandable given the fact that it's a 5K Fast IPS monitor and comes with some powerful connectivity features as well.
