Philips Evnia 34M2C6500 QD OLED Curved Gaming Monitor, WQHD 3440 x 1440, 175Hz, USB-C Hub, Height Adjustable, 4-Year Advance Replacement, Gaming Console Compatible

The best value of the 34” 21:9 OLED Panels
This monitor shares the same Samsung panel of the OLED G8, Alienware 34, MSi MEG34, but has additional I/O, including the USB-C/DP-Alt option with 90W of power delivery for productivity users. It has plenty of I/O, KVM switch, and it’s almost as elegant as the aluminum Samsung G8.If you juggle computers for work and play, want a gaming monitor that is elegant and not gharish like the Alienware and MSi, but has more functionality than the mini I/O setup of the otherwise great Samsung G8 OLED, this is a great panel for you.It has the best price ($100-$500 less than its competition), a warranty of 4 years, and still a blast to game on and pleasant to work on.My only nitpicks are :1. Blue flecks in the oversized stand making the product look a bit cheaper. This is due to Philips joining the ranks of companies that put recycled scraps of plastic in things as if it’s desirable.2. Samsung has showed us we can have Ultrawide without wide monitor stands. It would’ve been nice if Philips took a page out of the MSi, Samsung playbook and followed suit. Nearly a foot deep is far too large of a footprint for any monitor stand.3. It also seems to be ever so slightly crooked, but that may be the way it sits on my desk (the legs are so long that it rests on my desk mat). Or it could be because rather than a traditional VESA mounting plate on the stand, it has a quick release tab that means there’s some play in it. I have since replaced it with an AVLT monitor arm combined with the included VESA adapter.4. No burn in warranty (Alienware offers it, but just don’t leave your monitor on without a screensaver, lower the brightness on desktop use, and follow the pixel care prompts)5. If you’re a console gamer, you’ll be limited to 100 hz. 175 hz, FreeSync Pro is only supported over DP, USB-C.To recap, of the 21:9 1440p QD OLEDs, this will provide you the same or more I/O features of all its brethren, and at a lower price. $776-$799 tends to be the window for this unit, and for that you’re getting:1. 1440p Ultrawide format2. DP, HDMI, USB-C/DP-Alt w/ 90W PD3. Several USB-A ports, USB-B port4. 175hz refresh paired with a 0.1ms response time.5. G-SYNC, FreeSync compatible6. Nearly perfect motion clarity, vibrant colors, deep blacksAt a lower price than all its competitors and more features than the Alienware DW, DWF (the darlings of this segment thanks to content creators like LTT). As far as I’m concerned, that makes this the best of the lot.

First Impression
This is my initial review, as this is a very recent purchase, but I did want to address some things mentioned in other reviews that gave me pause.It was packaged well. Like any other monitor I have ever opened. I feel like that packaging is pretty standard. It did come with a protective film, so if that is missing I would definitely return it. You probably didn’t receive a new unit. The screen was perfect with no scratches or pixel issues at start.The stand felt of decent quality. It’s a metal base with a plastic cover over it. What I really like is how sensitive the swivel is and how smooth the up and down adjustment is. I am sure there are nicer stands, but there are certainly much cheaper stands and this one does the job and looks nice. I also like the added touch of having a headphone hanger. I didn’t notice that in the listing.I am not an OLED expert, but I can say this one is very bright, so if that is a concern for you, I wouldn’t be worried. The color accuracy out of the box is great. Which is nice for me since I am on a console. I do have a work laptop I can use to adjust it, but it’s great not to need to. It’s giving the max specs for a PS5 which is nice. It’s so strange how few monitors have that 2.1 HDMI port. I paid $549 for mine and at that price it seems very competitive! I don’t know about the MSRP though, seems a little high.

Solid gaming and productivity
I was worried about the text quality for productivity, but on a Mac the text rendering is solid. Sure, it’s not retina but it’s pleasant to read.Obviously superb for media consumption and gaming.This monitor replaces an old Samsung G9 and it’s literal night and day. The visual quality is great, built in speakers are good enough and the connectivity is superb. Firmware is adequate too.I’m gonna give it five stars – if I really wanted to quibble the firmware could be a little nicer but at the end of the day it works and it works well.

Lo más importante es que el panel llegó perfecto y se ve absolutamente increíble. He comprado OLED para mi casa desde hace casi 10 años. Tengo 2 LGs OLED actualmente y siempre quise una para mí PC. Por fin llegó y es todo que lo que siempre quise y con extras. Si ya has visto pantallas OLED, sabe que está tiene todo lo bueno y todo lo no tan bueno… El bendito burn in. Pero para eso hay mucho en internet, te recomiendo buscar por ahí como cuidar el panel. En mi experiencia, sabiendo cuidarlo, el burn in no es un problema. Tampoco es que haya que hacer gran cosa.Dicho eso, ahora los extras… Lo obvio el Ultrawide… Para mi la forma más sencilla de describirlo es como jugar en PC vs Consola. Ultrawide (PC) es increíble y mucho mejor que 16:9 (Consola) cuando está bien configurado y tu contenido es compatible, pero es complejo y requiere de atención en algunos casos, si no le sabes o te da flojera moverle y aprender… Mejor compra un widescreen normal.El KVM, funciona perfecto, y carga la Laptop o Steam Deck mientras juegas o trabajas… Dicho de otra forma, incluye un Steam Deck dock… Pues gratis porque hasta con el cable incluido.El back light se ve muy bien, sobretodo si tienes el monitor cerca de la pared. Le da una vista muy elegante creo yo cuando estás en un lugar obscuro.El HDR… El mejor que he visto… Eso de que tiene menos nits que una LCD… Le veo cero relevancia. Esta cosa te deja ciego de lo brillante que es… Yo juego y trabajo al 20% de iluminación y se ve súper bien.Hay más pero ya me cansé de escribir. Super recomendado. Cuesta un dinerito pero si está en tus posibilidades, vale la pena. Si te animas, cuídalo y espero que lo disfrutes mucho.

Picked this up on a Black Friday sale. I was worried that a 34 inch ultra wide would be too big, but it’s perfect. And the picture qualtiy is so sharp and crisp its like warm butter for the eyes.I’ve tried out a bunch of different games such as WarThunder, Cyberpunk 2077, Icarus, and HellDivers 2. Didn’t see any ghosting and everything looked awesome, both with HDR enabled and disabled.There are a couple things that I have to mention i’m a bit critical on. The first is the pixel refresh which is pretty annoying at times. You’ll be in the middle of a game or watching a movie and it pops up. The most annoying time is when I shut off my computer and it pops up and won’t let me turn off the monitor. It takes about a minute for it to finally turn off.The second is the off button. It can’t make up its mind if you just push the center in or push the center and and push down. Or push and hold for a few seconds.Other then that which is annoying but minor, it’s been a great monitor. And if you see it on sale don’t hesitate grab it.
