If you've seen any other Evnia products before, you will know that the company does things a little differently. Instead of an all-black aesthetic, the 34M2C8600 is rather eye-catching with its white and silver design. The base of the stand and the rear of the display are matte white, while the front bezel and stand are silver. The v-shaped foot even features some coloured speckles giving this quite a unique appearance.
It's definitely a bit different, but whether or not you like the look will obviously be subjective. I personally appreciate that there's a bit of visual flair here, though perhaps I am just boring, as I'd rather have something completely black on my desk.
Whatever your thoughts on the aesthetic, the included stand has a good variety of ergonomic adjustments. This includes 150mm of height adjustment, 20 degrees of swivel both left and right, as well as tilt from -5 to +20 degrees. There's no pivot/rotation function here, but considering this is a curved ultrawide, it's not a real loss in my opinion. VESA 100×100 mounts are also supported for those who want to use a third party stand or arm.
On the rear of the display, we also find a small joystick used to navigate the OSD. There are no other buttons on the monitor – everything is done via this joystick, or by using the SmartControl software which is shown on the next page.
Lastly, we come to the connectivity. Here there's a total of four video inputs, 2x HDMI 2.0, 1x DisplayPort 1.4 and 1x USB-C which supports DP-Alt mode as well as 90W power delivery. I have to say it is a definite shame to see HDMI 2.0 ports here, and not HDMI 2.1 – this means you're limited to 100Hz at 3440×1440 when using a HDMI cable, a real missed opportunity in my opinion as there's no hardware G-Sync module, so no need to compromise.
Back to the I/O, we find a 3.5mm audio jack too, as well as one USB upstream cable, and two downstreams – both 5Gbps, but the yellow one supports fast charging BC 1.2. There's also a pair of 5W speakers.
