The battle for the best gaming monitor just intensified. Philips has officially unveiled the latest addition to its Evnia 6000 series, the 27-inch Evnia 27M2N6501L, a new display that aims to capture the hearts of serious gamers with its cutting-edge QD-OLED technology and a surprisingly aggressive price point. Now available across Europe and the UK, this monitor is set to be a formidable competitor in the crowded 27-inch OLED arena.
Sharper, Smoother, Faster: The QD-OLED Advantage
At the heart of the new Evnia monitor lies a third-generation QD-OLED panel, the same technology powering other recent heavy-hitters like Samsung's popular Odyssey OLED G6. This foundation promises the deep, inky blacks and vibrant colour pop that OLED is famous for, without the compromises of traditional LCD panels.
Gamers can expect a buttery-smooth experience thanks to a native 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution, a blistering 240Hz refresh rate, and near-instantaneous 0.3 ms GtG response times. This combination is tailor-made for fast-paced titles like competitive shooters and racing games, where every millisecond counts, eliminating motion blur and providing a crystal-clear picture even during the most chaotic action.
Vibrant Colour and Peak Performance
Beyond raw speed, the Philips Evnia 27M2N6501L doesn’t skimp on visual fidelity. It boasts a peak HDR brightness of 400 nits (at a 10% APL), ensuring highlights truly shine. For creators and gamers who demand accurate colour, it covers 98% of the Adobe RGB colour space and leaves the factory with a Delta E <2 calibration in the sRGB space, meaning colours are incredibly accurate right out of the box.

Connectivity and Design: Almost Perfect
On the connectivity front, the monitor is well-equipped for modern gaming setups. It includes:
- 1x DisplayPort 1.4
- 2x HDMI 2.1 ports, perfect for next-gen consoles.
- A 2-port USB 3.2 hub for peripherals.
However, Philips has made one notable omission: there is no USB Type-C port, which may disappoint some users looking for a single-cable solution for laptops.
Ergonomically, the monitor scores high marks. The included stand offers a full range of adjustments to find your perfect viewing angle, including 130 mm of height adjustment, pivot (90° rotation), swivel, and tilt functionality.
Pricing and Availability: A Competitive Proposition
Perhaps the most exciting aspect is the price. Philips has positioned the Evnia 27M2N6501L at an attractive £399 in the UK and €499 in the Eurozone. This aggressive pricing puts it in direct competition with other leading 27-inch QD-OLED models, like the Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 available on Amazon, making the high-end OLED experience more accessible than ever.
The monitor is slated to hit shelves in the Eurozone later this month, with a UK release following in December. For gamers seeking a top-tier, responsive display with exceptional picture quality, the new Philips Evnia is certainly one to watch this holiday season.
