Philips releases new Evnia gaming monitor for £699.99 with 175 Hz and 1440p QD-OLED panel

Philips has unveiled a new curved gaming monitor based around a Samsung Display-derived QD-OLED panel. For context, the company recently released the Evnia 49M2C8900L as a cheaper option to the existing Evnia 49M2C8900 (curr. $1,499.99 on Amazon). Similarly, the new Evnia 34M2C6500 costs significantly less than the comparably equipped Evnia 34M2C8600 that Philips started selling over a year ago.

Specifically, Philips has priced the Evnia 34M2C6500 at £699.99 in the UK and €869 in the Eurozone. Nonetheless, the new monitor matches the Evnia 34M2C8600 by operating natively at 3,440 x 1,440 pixels with a 175 Hz refresh rate. Likewise, the monitor has a 21:9 aspect ratio, an 1800R curvature and VESA Adaptive Sync support.

Moreover, the Evnia 34M2C6500 peaks at 1,000 nits with HDR content activated or 250 nits in SDR mode. Ultimately, we suspect that Philips has equipped both monitors with the same Gen 1 QD-OLED panel. By contrast, the likes of the MSI MPG 341CQPX utilise a newer 'Gen 1.5' option that peaks at 240 Hz instead of 175 Hz. At any rate, Philips also equips the Evnia 34M2C6500 with Ambiglow LEDs, an adjustable stand and the following ports:

• 1x 3.5 mm jack
• 1x DisplayPort 1.4
• 2x HDMI 2.0
• 2x USB 3.2 Type-A (5 Gbps)
• 1x USB Type-B (upstream)
