Philips’ new 310Hz gaming monitor is perfect for esports without breaking the bank
Table of Contents
Competitive gamers are never going to complain about higher refresh rates. We’ve already seen a bunch of 600Hz (610Hz when overclocked) monitors being released this year, but if you’re looking for something much cheaper, Philips has just the display for you. It’s the new Evnia 25M2N3200U, which looks to be one of the best gaming monitors this year for those on a tight budget. It will be released in mid-October.
The new Evnia gaming monitor is designed with esports in mind, boasting a £159.99 price tag. As you may expect for this kind of price, it’s a 1080p monitor, and while many gamers are moving on to 1440p or 4K, the majority of PC gamers still game at full HD – just over half according to the latest Steam survey. Plus, even BenQ says it’s still a “sweet spot” resolution for esports.

A winning combination
Today's gamers don't just want a monitor, they want an ally – and the Philips Evnia 25M2N3200U is the ideal candidate. By uniting multiple technologies designed to enhance the gaming experience, this model ensures peak performance in competitive gaming and esports, making every session as exhilarating as it can be.
In terms of speed, its 25-inch Fast IPS panel, overclockable 310 Hz refresh rate, and 0.3 ms ultra-fast Smart MBR guarantee ultra-smooth gameplay and flawlessly crisp images in every frame. Players get a true edge thanks to lag-free, blur-free visuals and a significantly faster refresh rate than standard displays, while low input lag provides peak performance in action-packed, twitch-sensitive games where every half-second counts.
In terms of precision and visual clarity, its 16:9 Full HD display with SmartContrast delivers visuals that are bold, bright, and detailed, with contrast and backlighting that automatically adjust to best suit the contents on the screen. The added power of DisplayHDR 400 means players enjoy vibrant, nuanced, true-to-life images that make every game more engaging and more immersive.
In terms of performance, the Philips Evnia 25M2N3200U provides gamers with a generous selection of features designed specifically to give them an advantage over the competition. SmartImage Game mode gives them quick access OSD with multiple options fine-tuned to fit every genre, including First-Person Shooting, Racing, Real-Time Strategy, and more. Smart Crosshair chooses a complementary colour to players' crosshair, enhancing aiming accuracy, while Smart Sniper improves players control whenever they zoom in on their target to keep their aim steady and precise. And Stark ShadowBoost boosts dark scenes without overexposing lighter ones so that players see accurately regardless of the brightness of the scene.
In addition to these many features, the monitor includes the Evnia Precision Center, which allows users to optimise and personalise their monitor to reflect their unique gaming style. Finally, gamers can rest assured that their physical well-being is accounted for as well, thanks to a fully adjustable stand for maximum comfort and eye-protecting technologies like Flicker-Free and LowBlue Mode, which prevent eye fatigue during long, intense gaming sessions.
Pricing and availability
The Philips Evnia 25M2N3200U will be available for purchase from mid-October at an MSRP of £159.99.
