Philips Evnia Unveils Latest Gaming Monitors, Featuring the World's First 36-inch 260Hz Display Built for Gamers
Philips Evnia adds the 36M4C5500P, its world's first 36-inch gaming monitor, adopting a 36-inch curved fast VA 1500R panel with Ultra-Wide QHD resolution and a 260 Hz overclockable refresh rate. The 21:9 ultrawide form paired with high refresh delivers crisp visuals and fluid gameplay. Certified DisplayHDR 400 brings immersive HDR effects, while tailored game modes auto-adjust settings for varied game genres.
Introducing the 36-inch Gaming Monitor
Sitting between conventional ultrawide gaming monitor sizes, the 36-inch form factor creates an enticing new category for immersive gameplay. Gamers seeking bigger displays previously had to pick standard ultrawide or upgrade to bulky, TV-sized panels.
Philips Evnia's 36-inch model fills this middle ground. Its curved 21:9 panel delivers enhanced real estate and presence while fitting on most desks. More than just a new size, it gives gamers another way to build their battle station, bridging conventional desktop monitors and oversized gaming screens.
VESA DisplayHDR 400 Visuals and Enhanced Game Modes
Its size and shape are only part of the experience. VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification delivers stronger contrasts, richer colors and finer details than standard SDR screens. Its OSD hosts gaming tools: Smart MBR Sync cuts motion blur and ghosting. ShadowBoost brightens dark scenes without blowing out highlights, while Smart Crosshair and Smart Sniper modes optimize visuals for FPS games.
The Evnia Signature on the Monitor
This monitor makes a statement—even from the back. A signature feature of the Evnia M4 series, Iconglow illuminates the iconic Evnia icon with customizable RGB lighting, adding personality to any gaming setup. With a range of customizable lighting effects, players can tailor the monitor's look to match their own style.

VA is very hit-or-miss depending on how well the overdrive is done by the vendor firmware. I've had a 240Hz VA curved Evnia in the past and while the OSD was a horror-show of dumb decisions and unintuitive layout, the overdrive and pixel refresh was pretty good outside of VRR and I've yet to see a VA work well with VRR; Even my exceptionally-fast Odyssey G7 struggled with how much overdrive to apply when using G-Sync.
Edit:
I'm glad they've moved the OSD controls to the chin, too. 2022-2024 Evnias put the stiff, hard-to-press joystick in an exceptionally dumb place, over here:
IMO 240Hz is the magic number, it's a multiple of all four of those values. You can always lean on VRR to deal with non-integer multiples but VRR often introduces flicker or brightness instability on VA panels, so it's not ideal IME.
