Philips Evnia 34M2C8600 Review (QD-OLED Ultrawide)

As for the OSD, everything is split into 8 main tabs, as you can see here:

To be honest, the OSD used by Evnia here is pretty ugly and doesn't match the clean and modern aesthetic that exudes from the design of the monitor itself. It works well enough and things are mostly easy to navigate with the OSD. That said, it does confuse me slightly that instead of clicking the joystick to ‘accept' or enter a particular setting, you have to push the joystick to the right – it's not the end of the world but it takes some getting used to.

There is also a Windows-based app to control the monitor's settings, named SmartControl. I have previously said this software looks like it came ‘straight out of the Windows XP era' and that doesn't appear to have changed. It does, however, at least let you tweak the various settings without using the joystick if that's your preference. I suspect it will be most useful for upgrading the firmware however, something that I did myself when my unit arrived and it worked without a hitch. That's a definite plus point considering some monitors simply don't have user-upgradable firmware at all.
