Philips continues to expand the Evnia series at a rapid pace. To recap, the company introduced the Evnia 34M2C6500 at the beginning of the month, but also the Evnia 27M2N5500, Evnia 27M2N6800ML and Evnia 49M2C8900L last month. On this occasion, it has presented the Evnia 32M2N8800, a 31.5-inch example that natively outputs at 3,840 x 2,160 pixels (4K/UHD).
Additionally, the monitor outputs at 240 Hz and offers GtG response times of 0.03 ms. Additionally, Philips mentions that the Evnia 32M2N8800 uses QD-OLED technology, a type of panel produced by Samsung Display. Although Philips has not confirmed this, other panel specifications such as the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and CleaMR 13000 certification suggest that the Evnia 32M2N8800 is based on a QD-OLED Gen 3 panel. As such, the Evnia 32M2N8800 features the same panel as underpins numerous gaming monitors released this year, including the Alienware AW3225QF, ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM (currently $1,542.22 on Amazon), and MSI MPG 321URX to name just a few.
Consequently, Philips quotes 1,000 nits of maximum brightness, although only across 3% of its panel at any given time (3% APL). In reality, the monitor will only be capable of playing SDR content at a maximum of 250 nits. Meanwhile, Philips also includes a pair of speakers with a combined 5W output, an adjustable stand and a USB hub, as well as the usual complement of DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 ports. At the moment, Philips has only started selling the monitor in Hong Kong, where it retails for HK$8,990 (~$1,151). Although the company has not yet confirmed global availability, it usually releases its high-end gaming monitors worldwide at some point.
