Philips Evnia 34M2C5501A Review
Design and Build
The Philips Evnia 34M2C5501A joins the 27 and 32-inch versions in the 5000 gaming monitor series. It’s a curved fast VA monitor equipped with all the features necessary to enjoy ultimate speed and precision, with crisp and vivid images. The decision to give the ultra-wide display a 1500R curvature mimics the eye’s natural visual field and helps no end with immersing you in the action.

Features and Performance
The fast vertical alignment (VA) panel delivered clear images even during high-contrast visuals, something that I was glad to see while gaming and watching movies. Global dimming and a minimum of 400 nits of brightness help to provide depth and richness but sometimes at the cost of realism.
Price
The Philips Evnia 34M2C5501A monitor is available at an MSRP of £299.99. If you like the specs but would prefer something a little smaller, then you could opt for either the 27-inch 27M2C5501 or 32-inch 32M2C5501 models instead.
