Philips lens with Evnia it’s nothing more or less than providing gamers with the monitors and accessories needed to fully enjoy every gaming session, whether in terms of performance, graphics or user experience.
What is Philips Evnia?
Contrary to what the usual brands offer us video game today, including AOC oh AGON Also owned by Philips, Evnia aims to be an ecosystem through which the gamer can acquire all the necessary components to assemble their gaming desk. All you need to do is add your own PC, laptop or console.
Evnia offers the possibility of buying flat or curved monitors of different sizes and technologies (27, 34 or 42 inches), as well as the essential accessories to enjoy your games, with Cherry mechanical keyboards, latest generation mice, as well as as wireless headphones with Noise Cancellation.
In order to give an appropriate atmosphere to your room or your playground, these accessories bring light implement so you can forget to buy separate LED lights to personalize your desktop. All accessories, including monitors, include some form of configurable LED backlighting.
How could it be otherwise, Ambiglow adds total immersion to the game, with LED lights arranged on the back of the monitors with which to illuminate the environment of a room to guarantee greater immersion.
Philips markets them under the so-called 3000 series (entry level), 5000 series and 7000-8000 series, which will be the most advanced in having the most capable monitors and accessories you can find.
Point out that each Evnia series It has a particular aspect, as is the case of the 5000 in which an LED pad is included to recharge the battery of the wireless mouse through the surface.
The Evnia line of monitors is made up of the Philips 42M2N8900 model, which consists of a 42-inch OLED flat screen. You will also find the Philips 34M2C8600 which is a 34-inch curved QD OLED display, as well as the Philips 27M2C5500W monitor which is another 27-inch curved display.
In terms of accessories, the offer is completed by two keyboards (SPK8505 and SPK8708), two mice (SPK9508 and SPK9708), as well as two headphones (TAG5208 and TAG7208). The reference of the light mat that acts as a wireless charger is the SPL7508.
When do Philips Evnia products go on sale?
The first monitor to go on sale in this new Philips range is the Evnia 34M2C7600MVwhich will be available throughout the month of December at the recommended price of $2,069.
This monitor features an HDR1400 certified miniLED backlight with 1152 dimming zones. The refresh rate goes up to 165 Hz with Adaptive Sync and it has USB C ports and an integrated KVM switch to allow the connection of different equipment.
Later and already in 2023, Philips points out that you will be able to acquire the rest of the devices that we have mentioned. First, in January, it will be the time for 27, 34 and 42 inch screens. Later and not before June, keyboards, mice and headphones will arrive.
What is the price of Philips Evnia equipment?
The company has diversified launches, which we didn’t like very much since they sell the solution as an ecosystem that you should be able to acquire together to complete your configuration set if you already have your computer or console.
In any case, it is very possible that this delay in final availability is due to problems in the supply chain. Unfortunately, Philips also didn’t offer bundle pricing if you decide to buy the Evnia Series 5000 solution, to name just one example.
In any case, the rest of the prices provided by Philips are only for monitors, since at the moment we do not know what the keyboards, mice and headphones will cost. Here are the prices of Philips Evnia monitors:
- Philips Evnia 42M2N8900 monitor: $1959
- Philips Evnia 34M2C8600 monitor: $1849
- Philips Evnia 27M2C5500W monitor: $579
By taking into account the prices of the monitors, we can get an idea of what the complete solution may cost. It is a first generation and there is no precedent, but if we include the 27 inch monitor in the Evnia 5000 series, we think we would be talking about 800 or 900 $ (579 $ for the monitor more the accessories).
Verdict on the new Philips Evnia products
I was able to attend the presentation that the company made in Paris and I must admit that the solution as a whole interests me a lot, since so far no other brand has offered this possibility of acquiring a pack complete to furnish your office video game at once
Everyone knows Philips’ experience with its various lines of monitors and how well it knows how to combine them with technologies such as Ambiglow to light up the environment and create greater immersion in the game. We’ve seen it with their televisions.
Now the brand seems determined to transfer its experience to another area of accessories such as keyboards, mice and headphones with which you can customize the game to your liking. We were able to test the devices lightly, and the keyboards and mice offer a good response.
The earphones are also up to scratch, if not tweaked in some aspects like the fact that they are all the same size (quite big by the way), with reasonable noise cancellation to isolate you in your games.
All devices connect to each other wirelessly, allowing them to be charged through the USB C connector, fully achieving unification. Overall we see projections, although part of the success will depend on the prices Philips eventually sets for complete solutions.
Regarding the screens, there is an ultra-bright miniLED monitor, while the QD-OLED has very deep blacks. I’m surprised we don’t have a 24-inch monitor which is usually the choice of many professional gamers, but its justification will have.
With the inclusion of all sorts of connectors, including KVM in some of them, as well as an HDMI 2.1 connector to take full advantage of the potential of the next generation of consoles and graphics from Nvidia and AMD, I’m sure only in the Philips screen section, you won’t be disappointed.
