PHILIPS HAS been mostly absent from the pages of this magazine in recent years, but its new Evnia range of products, including mice, headsets, mouse pads, and this monitor, are tailored to the PC gaming crowd. Philips’ approach is aimed at modern gamers who eschew the gamer aesthetic, meaning there’s no RGB lighting, no skull icons, and none of the other ‘gnarly’ touches that usually adorn gamer gear. Instead, there’s a cool, sleek look to this 27-inch, 1440p, 240Hz monitor—’understated’ is the theme.
If you’re a fan of the futuristic look and inoffensive grey coloring, then the 27M2C5500W makes a great first impression. It’s easy to set up, with a tool-free stand that takes little room up on your desk and offers lots of flexibility in vertical height and angle for the display. The monitor itself is also pretty attractive, with thin bezels and only a small Philips logo on the chin, with the option to dim or turn off the power light in the settings. Our main complaint is that there’s nowhere to feed the cabling through the thin stand to keep things nice and tidy, which feels at odds with the minimalist aesthetic.
