At 8:00 p.m., at the Stade de France in Paris, the new brand created by the multinational computer hardware giant PHILIPS was officially announced. After being for years a reference in the quality of its monitors, the company made the leap to gaming (despite the fact that it already had a very attractive range focused on video games), and this, considerably.
announced EVNIA, a brand that will bring with it everything related to Philips gaming products. The name, which comes from the Greek, wants us to understand that EVNIA is a place for everyone, in order to break the increasingly diluted stereotypes regarding people who consume video games. These thoughts that the video game industry is only for children and teenagers are now outdated and EVNIA focuses on a range of products accessible to all kinds of pockets and also to all kinds of people. Your currency ? “Reinventing the rules”, reinvents the rules.
A whole new gaming ecosystem called Evnia
EVNIA will not only bring state-of-the-art monitors and great features, EVNIA is also an ecosystem where it will also have peripherals as an output range. Wireless headsets, keyboards and mice for PC gamers.
At the event, where the Xbox generation was present, we were able to not only delve into what the Evnia brand will bring, but also test the products and learn more about them in a presentation commissioned by the product manager, Carlos Acosta.
EVNIA will offer three different ranges of monitors and peripherals
The 3000 series range, with hardware more suited to what can be found on the current market but still with very good features and lower prices. A range called 5000 series for gamers looking for more immersive experiences. And a last range called 7000 series, where they show us the great capabilities of these monitors: very good image quality thanks to their Crystal Clear systems and the advantages of OLED.
The crown jewel is the curved design monitor called Philips Evnia 34M2C7600MV, which the company claims will guarantee us (and which we could see during the presentation) an almost cinematic experience with UltraWide Quad HD 3440 x 1440 resolution and HDR 1400. with lighting (something that is applied in common in all its ranges) mini-LED with 1,152 zones and which will allow us greater control of lighting and contrast ratio to obtain deeper blacks and whites brighter.
On the other hand, it will also contain the Ambiglow that what it’s going to do is add total immersion to gaming. This monitor promises us a 165Hz refresh rate, super low input lag, and Adaptive-Sync, which will make games that require a lot very smooth performance. The price of this monitor upon release will be $2,069.
The range of EVNIA monitors that we will be able to see will be the 42M2N8900 (42″ OLED flat screen with a starting price of $1,959), 34M2C8600 (34″ curved QD OLED screen with a starting price of $1,849) and 27M2C5500W models. (27″ curved VA screen priced at $579). The offer will be completed with elegant and aesthetic accessories: Two keyboards (SPK8508 and SPK8708), two mice (SPK9508 and SPK9708), two headphones (TAG5208 and TAG7208) and a mouse pad (SPL7508).
