Philips has released a new gaming monitor with some impressive specs to its European audience. The Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L is equipped with a Quantum Dot OLED panel (QD-OLED) and delivers a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, as well as a 144 Hz display refresh rate.

The Evnia 49M2C8900L is similar in many ways to the Evnia 49M2C8900 model released recently. In fact, the new gaming monitor is a cheaper alternative to its predecessor which is currently priced at $1,499. The Evnia 49M2C8900L has a 49-inch screen with a curvature of 1800R. It is based on a Gen 2 Samsung Display QD-OLED panel. The new gaming monitor comes at a lower display refresh rate (144 Hz) than the Evnia 49M2C8900 which featured a 240 Hz refresh rate.

The new Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L gaming monitor has a display resolution of 5,120 x 1,440 pixels (5K2K), an aspect ratio of 32:9, and a GtG response time of 0.3 ms. The monitor has a DCI-P3 color gamut coverage of 99% and 125.2% AdobeRGB color space coverage. The new Philips Evnia gaming monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC technologies to address image tearing. The monitor’s peak brightness of 1,000 nits drops to 450 nits or 250 nits in SDR mode.

The Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L monitor has four 7.5 W speakers with a 2.2 channel setup and a single 3.5 mm audio jack. It is also equipped with DisplayPort 1.4 (x1), HDMI 2.1 (x2), USB-A (x4), and a USB-C port with 90W Power Delivery/ DisplayPort Alt Mode. The four USB-A ports of the monitor have a maximum speed of 5 Gbps.

Pricing & Availability

The Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L gaming monitor comes with a cheaper price tag than its predecessor. It is priced in the UK at £869,99 ($1,103) and €1,089 ($1,184) in the Eurozone. It is therefore evident that the new gaming monitor is significantly cheaper than the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 by up to $400. It is also much cheaper than some of its competitors with the same Samsung QD-OLED panel. The US pricing of the new Philips gaming monitor has not been released yet.
