[btarunr]

This new Evnia gaming monitor is stacked with visual power. Philips Monitors introduces its latest addition to the premium Evnia 8000 monitor series. The Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L is jam-packed with powerful features like a 48.9-inch (124.3 cm) QD-OLED panel, a 32:9 SuperWide aspect ratio, 5120 x 1440 resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate, Ambiglow lighting, and DTS Sound. All in all, this monitor is made for all kinds of game genres, but its visual fidelity is what makes it stand out.


A hallmark feature of the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L is the QD-OLED panel. Certified with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 for an exceptional HDR experience, and certified with VESA ClearMR 8000 for butter-smooth gameplay, visuals on this monitor are assured to be rich in colour, sharp and blur-free. Furthermore, the SuperWide (32:9) QD-OLED panel, when combined with the monitor's 1800R curvature, provides a high-quality and immersive adventure to all gamers. With a 10-bit colour depth, supreme sRGB colour accuracy (DeltaE < 2) and a high gamut coverage (99% DCI-P3), the Evnia monitor reproduces vibrant, true-to-life colours. The large screen is like having two 16:9 QHD monitors side by side and allows gamers to play on a singular screen instead of a dual-monitor setup; thereby creating a more seamless and smooth usage.



In addition to this, the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L can reach a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz and lightning-fast response times of up to 0.03 ms GtG, thanks to its advanced QD-OLED technology. This high refresh rate and very low response time enable gamers to hit targets faster with clear visuals guaranteed. For additional picture enhancement, the monitor is equipped with the SmartImage Game mode that makes it even easier to achieve the best in-game visuals.

Booming sound features
Adding to a top-of-the-line gaming experience is the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L's DTS Sound feature. When considering the monitor's other immersive features, such as its curved frame and Ambiglow lighting, the DTS Sound feature thereby engulfs the gamer by enhancing the sound and creating an atmosphere that makes one feel as if they were part of the game. The monitor's four speakers offer a combined output of 30 W, which adds an extra touch of power and excellence.
Award-winning design and everyday functionality.

In the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L's feature arsenal, some elements are also adapted for everyday use, making it an ideal large-screen productivity powerhouse. With features such as the MultiClient Integrated KVM switch, LowBlue Mode, and a height-adjustable stand, it is made for the flexibility of switching between sources, ergonomic comfort, and eye protection during extended periods of blue light exposure.

For improved connectivity with mobile PCs, the monitor also features a 4-port USB hub and a USB-C input offering up to 90 W USB Power Delivery.

Along with its functional features, the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L is a beauty to look at, sporting an award-winning design. Ringing in as a Red Dot winner 2023 and iF Design Award 2023 winner, the monitor's design is made with immersive gaming and technical performance in mind.

What about the Dell 5K 40" 5120 x 2160 HDR 120Hz 21:9. Seems about perfect other than 8 bit screen. But not OLED which IMO is a bonus for productivity. Still miniled would have been nice.

But why, more res only invites you to even more expensive GPUs while you're solid in the land of diminishing returns. If money is no object sure.

I really never understood the resolution must go up chase for gaming. And these UW's are really for gaming/entertainment. I mean sure, 2560x1080 on UW/34inch and up isn't nice. But when you're well above 100 PPI... I stop seeing the point of more. It really doesn't pay off much.

Well, I spend more time in windows than in games, and higher resolution makes many things look quite a bit better.
If the display is high-res then it will work OK in games at lower resolutions as well.
I tried a 4k screen and at the time my 3070 certainly was too slow for it, but instantly text-quality was vastly improved. I returned it because it had too much BLB, poor uniformity

Absolutely true, that, I don't disagree on higher res for non gaming

Even if the screen were 1600p vertical, it would help. This is why I like the Dell specs.

Of course the real problem is the desktop space is still sticking with trash 16:9 while laptops have largely moved on to 16:10 and even 15:10. I think in 20224 1800p should be the new 1440p and all monitors should be xx:10 aspect ratio.

Dunno, I'm seeing more 21:9 releases than products with a xx:10 ratio to be fair... And lets not begin about the 32:9 trend

I don't see the advantage of the 16:10 to be very honest with you, provided there is enough height, and with 1440p vertical there is, in my opinion, enough height. I mean, I can do this now on an UW. Even for productivity, this was, for a long time, a dream. Do this on a 2560x1440 or even 2560x1600... Its not pretty. Wider with sufficient height is where its going, and I like it.

How is this not enough real estate? It feels like having two 4:3's side by side, a relative height you can't get with any 16:10 or even 15:10. For laptops though, yeah I get ya. 3:2 seems very good for them. But desktop for sure aint sticking with 16:9 if you ask me. It was always primarily a TV/movie aspect ratio imho. For gaming, you want more width (and in fact movies in letterbox are no different). For productivity, you want more relative height.
