Philips launched the Evnia line of gaming monitors a while ago, and it looks like the company plans to expand it. Earlier today, Philips announced two new additions to the Evnia 5000 gaming monitor series – the Philips Evnia 27M2C5501 (27-inch) and the Philips Evnia 32M2C5501 (31-inch). 

The new monitors are equipped with Fast VA panels and curved displays, which complement the quick 180Hz refresh rate and 0.5 ms MPRT response time. And with Smart MBR, players can experience swift and precise movements without any screen tearing.

To add to that, both gaming monitors have low input lag and support Adaptive sync, which makes them suitable for fast-paced games.

Further, both monitors come with a 1440p resolution and high pixel count, which aim to deliver lifelike visuals. To further enhance the visual quality, the gaming monitors have HDR, which delivers high contrast. 

Another highlight here is the addition of AI-enhanced Ambiglow lighting, which, together with HDR10, helps create a more immersive environment. With this feature, the monitor’s RGB light colors follow video content to make it more engaging for the user.

To make the whole experience comfortable, the Philips Evnia monitors offer LowBlue Mode, Flicker-Free, and an anti-glare coating to reduce eye strain. Plus, you can tilt, swivel, and adjust the height of the monitor to set it up in a comfortable position. 

Overall, it looks like Philips intends to cater to gamers who don’t want to choose between speed, smooth performance, and visual quality with these new gaming monitors.

As far as availability is concerned, the new Philips Evnia 5000 series monitors are already available for purchase. You can head over to the official Philips website and place an order.

Here’s what the prices look like –

Looking at the prices, we think that the gaming monitors strike a good balance of price and features. For around $350, you’re getting a curved gaming monitor with 1440p resolution and 180Hz refresh rate, which we think is great value.
