New Philips Evnia Dual Mode monitor offers either 4K or 320Hz for just £329

Philips has unveiled the Evnia 27M2N5901A, a new gaming monitor that aims to solve the age-old dilemma of choosing between high resolution and high refresh rate, but without breaking the bank. The new 27-inch display features “Dual Mode” technology, allowing users to switch between a native 4K at 160 Hz mode and a native 1080p at 320 Hz mode, all within the same panel.

The 27-inch 27M2N5901A Fast IPS monitor can be adjusted to change how it operates. For immersive, single-player games or productivity tasks where visual detail might be more important, users can select the UHD (3840×2160) mode, which runs at 160Hz. For competitive esports titles where every frame counts, the monitor can be switched to FHD (1920×1080) mode to deliver a 320 Hz refresh rate, backed by a response time of up to 1 ms GtG.

The monitor is packed with other premium features, including an “AI-enhanced” version of Philips' Ambiglow ambient lighting, which analyses the on-screen image to create a more immersive effect. It also functions as a workstation hub, featuring an integrated KVM switch for controlling two PCs with a single set of peripherals, a USB-C port with 65W power delivery, and a built-in USB hub. Software features are handled by the Philips Evnia Precision Center, which includes gamer-focused tools such as a smart crosshair that changes colour against different backgrounds and a shadow boost function.

Even with all of this, the new Evnia monitor is coming to market at a surprisingly aggressive price point. The Philips Evnia 27M2N5901A is set to be available in early October with a suggested retail price of just £329.00.
