Philips has been releasing a gentle stream of great-looking gaming screens over the previous couple of weeks, and the newest to affix the roster is the Philips Evnia 32M2N8800, a 32-inch, 4K, QD-OLED panel with considered one of our favourite options tucked around the again. That’s proper, Philips’ long-running Ambiglow tech is available to forged an-image matching glow behind the monitor.
We’ve been followers of Ambiglow since ceaselessly, and have been stoked to see it characteristic in Philips‘ top-tier 49-inch QD-OLED, the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900L, however we wouldn’t essentially have anticipated the characteristic to seem on all its new OLED shows. We’ve but to check any of the vary to see in the event that they’re finest gaming monitor contenders, however with Ambiglow available, and a cool, fashionable design, our hopes are undoubtedly up.
One other key benefit of this show, as in comparison with even Philips’ personal different OLEDs, is that it packs 3,840 x 2,160 pixels into its giant 32-inch body. That makes for a pixel density of roughly 140 pixels per inch (ppi), which in flip makes for a really sharp-looking picture. Whereas we’ve usually really helpful round 110ppi as the usual for straightforward readability on LCD panels, OLEDs have a tendency to not be fairly as easy for textual content, so the upper pixel density right here ought to assist guarantee a crystal clear picture.
As for gaming efficiency, this panel will meander alongside at a meager…240Hz! Yup, in order that’s stunningly sharp picture high quality – with all of the distinction and vivid colours of Samsung’s QD-OLED tech – with rip-roaring quick gaming too.
Once more, as an OLED panel, the response time right here shall be ultra-rapid, with Philips ranking it at simply 0.03ms gray-to-gray. The panel can also be licensed to hit the DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR normal, in addition to the VESA ClearMR 13000 movement blur normal, and likewise to ship 99% of the DCI-P3 colour area.
As for the Ambiglow implementation, this consists of 18 RGB LED zones on the again of the show, which could be set to match the on-screen picture. We’ve discovered that this wash of colour can enhance immersion and barely cut back eyestrain in our personal exams.
Some screens characteristic related color-matching RGB techniques, and you should purchase separate kits so as to add this characteristic to your show – such because the Nanoleaf 4D. Nevertheless, few of those different techniques match the standard of Ambiglow in our expertise, although we will’t say for sure how this explicit model performs but.
In addition to sporting a fetching white and silver design, this show additionally features a stand that may tilt -5/+20 levels, swivel -30/+30 desgrees, and alter peak with a variety of 150mm. In the meantime, connections include two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 enter, plus you get two 5W audio system. Notably, Philips hasn’t taken a leaf out of its monitor stablemate’s pocket book and gone for a desk-space pleasant stand design, as seen on the AOC C27G4ZXE – this one as a substitute has a beautiful V-shaped association.
There’s no worth or launch date for this show as but, however we’d anticipate it to take a seat at across the $1,000 mark, and arrive within the coming couple of months. Within the meantime, you may study extra about our ideas on 4K 32-inch OLEDs in our Gigabyte Aorus FQ32U2P preview from earlier this 12 months.
