Philips launches the Evnia 27M2N5500XD monitor with 500 Hz
Philips expands its gaming catalog with the new Evnia 27M2N5500XD, a 27-inch monitor designed to demand maximum performance. Its main attraction is a native refresh rate of 500 Hz with QHD (2560x1440) resolution, but it has an ace up its sleeve for the most competitive players. 🎮
The jump to 1000 Hz: extreme speed at the cost of resolution
The most striking feature is its ability to operate at 1000 Hz. To activate this mode, the user must set the resolution to 720p. This trade-off drastically reduces the number of pixels the graphics card must process, allowing the monitor to update the image at an extraordinary speed.
Key advantages of 1000 Hz mode:- Significantly reduces latency, the time between the player's action and seeing the result on screen.
- Specifically designed for competitive games where every millisecond counts.
- Prioritizes smoothness and response speed over image sharpness at a distance.
A player who activates 1000 Hz mode may not clearly distinguish a distant opponent, but will react with minimal latency.
Technology and connectivity for a complete experience
Beyond the hertz, the Evnia 27M2N5500XD relies on a IPS panel that guarantees good viewing angles and consistent colors. It integrates AMD FreeSync Premium to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, ensuring smooth gameplay.
Main features and connections:- Compatibility with adaptive sync technologies for fluid graphics.
- Includes preconfigured image modes optimized for different video game genres.
- Connectivity via DisplayPort and HDMI ports to connect PCs and consoles.
Who is this monitor for?
The Philips Evnia 27M2N5500XD positions itself as a tool for serious gamers. It offers a premium balance with 1440p at 500 Hz for a detailed and smooth visual experience in most situations. Its 1000 Hz mode is a specialized weapon for those willing to sacrifice definition for the absolute competitive advantage in response speed. ⚡
