Philips has revealed new details about the Evnia 27M2D5901A monitor, which combines an extremely high 5K resolution with gaming refresh rates. The monitor offers two operating modes, 5K at up to 180 Hz or WQHD at up to 350 Hz. It also includes Ambiglow lighting, DisplayPort 2.1, and an extensive set of ports.

5K for work, 350 Hz for gaming

The new Philips Evnia uses a 27-inch Fast IPS panel with a native resolution of 5120 × 2880 pixels. The standard refresh rate is 165 Hz, but it can be bumped up to 180 Hz.

Thanks to Dual Mode, the monitor can switch to WQHD (2560 × 1440), raising the refresh rate to 330 Hz, and when overclocked even 350 Hz. This is an interesting solution for people who work with graphics during the day but play fast-paced esports titles in the evenings.

The manufacturer also claims 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, 95% Adobe RGB, a 1 ms (GtG) response time and brightness up to 500 nits. The monitor has received DisplayHDR 400 certification, so you shouldn't expect HDR effects comparable to OLEDs or advanced Mini LED displays.

Ambiglow, 96 W USB-C and KVM switch

Philips equipped the monitor with three-sided Ambiglow backlighting that adapts the colors of the light behind the screen to the displayed image.

The monitor offers DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 ports, two USB-C ports (one supporting up to 96 W charging), a USB hub and a KVM switch. There are also two 5 W speakers and an adjustable stand with pivot.

Price and availability. What about Poland?

Philips has already launched the German product page, but has not yet confirmed when sales will begin in Poland.

At an earlier presentation, they announced a European price of about €799 and a launch in July 2026, but that date has passed. For now there is no confirmed Polish price or availability date.
