Philips adds 260Hz ultrawide gaming monitor


Philips is setting a new benchmark in the gaming monitor arena with the launch of its Evnia 36M4C5500P, a display that boldly claims the title of the world’s first 36-inch gaming monitor. This massive screen isn’t just big; it’s engineered to redefine the ultrawide experience for serious gamers.

At the heart of this display is a cutting-edge 21:9 panel, marrying the expansive real estate of a 36-inch format with stunning clarity. It utilizes a 1500R fast VA panel combined with Ultra-Wide QHD resolution, ensuring that players don’t just see the action—they experience it with razor-sharp detail. With an overclockable refresh rate of 260Hz, the screen ensures smooth, fluid motion, while the 0.3ms MPRT response time guarantees that every movement is instantly translated onto the screen.

Positioned perfectly between standard desktop ultrawides and larger formats, the Evnia 36M4C5500P offers an ideal sweet spot for those seeking immersion without sacrificing screen real estate. Further enhancing its visual quality, the monitor boasts VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, allowing for a peak HDR brightness of 500 nits, making dark scenes pop and highlights truly luminous.

Beyond raw performance, Philips has integrated a suite of gaming-centric features directly into the display’s operating system. These include Smart MBR Sync to eliminate motion blur, ShadowBoost technology to illuminate deep shadows without blowing out bright areas, and specialized FPS-oriented modes, such as crosshair and sniper modes, tailored for competitive play.

For ultimate versatility, the monitor includes MultiView functionality, allowing users to connect and simultaneously view two different video sources, providing a powerful hub for multitasking. The design also prioritizes user comfort and access, featuring a height-adjustable stand complete with built-in tilt and swivel support.

Aesthetically, the monitor is finished with Philips’ signature Evnia M4 Iconglow lighting, which casts customizable RGB effects across the rear icon, adding a personalized, dynamic flair to any setup. Connectivity is robust, offering dual HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4 input to handle demanding high-bandwidth signals.

Set to launch first in the APAC region, the Evnia 36M4C5500P arrives ready to challenge established norms. Experts suggest that this monitor successfully bridges the gap between the popular 34-inch ultrawides and larger 42-inch panels, proving that a 36-inch 21:9 monitor can indeed fit the exact requirements of the modern, immersive gaming setup.
