Philips has introduced a new 27-inch gaming monitor in China, the 27M2N5500X, which combines a 1440p resolution with a 425Hz refresh rate. The monitor is currently listed on JD.com with a retail price of 1,899 yuan, which converts to approximately $280.
Philips 27M2N5500X Specifications
The monitor is built around a Fast IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. The panel runs natively at 400Hz and can be overclocked to 425Hz. To support these high frame rates, it includes a 1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time and a 0.3ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) to minimize motion blur.
It also includes standard variable refresh rate support, including G-Sync compatibility, to prevent screen tearing during gameplay. Additionally, the company includes a feature it calls Zero-Sense Sync Acceleration, which is intended to reduce input lag between the graphics card and the display.
Regarding color and brightness, the 27M2N5500X supports 10-bit color depth and covers 100% of the sRGB gamut, alongside 97% of the DCI-P3 color space. Philips says that the monitors are factory-calibrated to a Delta E value of less than 2. The panel has a typical brightness of 350 nits and a standard 1000:1 contrast ratio, and it carries a basic VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
Philips has also integrated several software features for games. These include an AI-assisted crosshair that adjusts its color based on the background, a digital zoom function called Sniper Window, and a shadow enhancement tool that brightens darker areas on the screen. For general use, the monitor incorporates circular polarization and low blue light filters to reduce eye strain.
The physical design includes an ergonomic stand that allows for 130mm of height adjustment, as well as tilt, swivel, and pivot rotation. It is also compatible with standard 100 x 100mm VESA mounts.
For connectivity, the monitor provides one DisplayPort 1.4 connection, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also supports Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) modes for users connecting multiple devices simultaneously.
