Philips releases new 27-inch Evnia gaming monitor with low starting price

Philips has expanded its Evnia gaming monitor series once again, having presented the Evnia 49M2C8900L last week. For context, the Evnia 49M2C8900L is a cheaper alternative to the Evnia 49M2C8900 (curr. $1,499.99 on Amazon) that debuted in August 2023. Now, the company has released the Evnia 27M2N5500, which sits at the other end of Philips' Evnia product range.

Specifically, the Evnia 27M2N5500 utilises a 27-inch Fast IPS panel that outputs at 1440p (2,560 x 1,440) with 350 nits peak brightness and a 1,200:1 contrast ratio. According to Philips, the monitor also covers 125%, 93.5% and 89% of the sRGB, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB colour spaces, respectively. Accordingly, the Evnia 27M2N5500 is VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified. Moreover, the monitor boasts 1 ms GtG response times, or 0.5 ms response times, when measuring via the MPRT standard.

On top of that, the Evnia 27M2N5500 has a 180 Hz refresh rate, much like the Xiaomi Redmi Display G24 that we detailed yesterday. Furthermore, Philips has integrated the following ports:

• 1x 3.5 mm jack
• 1x DisplayPort 1.4
• 2x HDMI 2.0
• 4x USB 3.2 Type-A downstream (2x fast charge B.C 1.2)
• 1x USB Type-B upstream

Also, the Evnia 27M2N5500 finds itself with a stand that supports 130 mm height, -/+ 90-degree pivot, -/+ 30-degree swivel and -5/20-degree tilt adjustments. Currently, Philips has priced the Evnia 27M2N5500 at £239.99 in the UK and €279 in the Eurozone. Please see Philips' website for more details.
