In the world of big-screen ultrawide gaming monitors, the Philips Evnia 8000 takes the top spot, replacing the Corsair Xeneon Flex in our recommendations. This super-ultrawide 49-inch QD-OLED monitor delivers an exceptional gaming experience with 5120×1440 resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate.
The Evnia 8000’s image quality is enhanced by its excellent motion clarity, supported by its high refresh rate and compatibility with Adaptive Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, and Nvidia G-Sync. Fast-paced games look clear and crisp.
The monitor’s design stands out with a sleek white-and-silver aesthetic. While the ergonomic stand takes up more desk space than desired, it offers height, tilt, and swivel adjustments for comfortable viewing. The monitor also has a robust 30-watt speaker system, delivering clear and loud audio that surpasses most built-in monitor speakers. The included Ambiglow lighting system enhances the gaming atmosphere with customizable RGB LED backlighting.
Connectivity is another strong suit for the Evnia 8000. It features multiple HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C port with 90W Power Delivery, perfect for a range of devices from gaming PCs to work laptops. All of the monitor’s video inputs support its maximum refresh rate and resolution.
Priced at $1,350, the Philips Evnia 8000 isn’t inexpensive, but it’s worth the investment. It combines excellent image quality, great motion clarity, a sleek design, and robust audio.
