PHILIPS Evnia 49M2C8900L - 49 Inch DQHD OLED Curved Gaming Monitor, 144 Hertz, 0.03ms GtG, HDR400, Ambiglow, FreeSync Prem. Pro (5120x1440, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C, USB Hub) White

I bought the 49" 144hz OLED version, which replaced my 8 year old Acer Predator 34".Firstly, the vesa bracket for wall mounting works great, and I have this sitting on the wall. The ambilight isn't Philips usual one so it doesn't change colour with what's happening on the screen, but that's a gimmick anyway, and the backlighting is a nice touch (if somewhat muted, although it's worth noting my wall is grey so nothing will really stand out).The image quality is stunning, and it's great for both desktop work and for gaming. For desktop I use Fancyzones to split the screen into 3 zones which maximises productivity for me, and gaming is just jaw dropping (Escape from Tarkov on this screen is incredible).The sound is good for a monitor, although windows notifications are a bit jarring and rattly, but overall very good considering this is just a monitor.What swung it for me in terms of buying the Philips over the Samsung (I paid £679 for this on Black Friday...the samsung was only £30 more) is the burn in warranty. OLEDs are susceptible to burn in, and the fact that this is covered by Philips gave me peace of mind. One thing to bear in mind - you need to run pixel refresh reasonably frequently, which will switch the panel off for 10 minutes...it will force you to do this after (I think) 14 hours of use between refreshes. I usually do it manually when I'm making a coffee during the middle of the day. It's a bit annoying, but inevitable if you have an OLED (and want to keep the screen pristine for years to come).Highly recommended (and it's not too big despite thinking OMG when I first opened the box).

Bought this to make working from home less of a hassle. The built in KVM with 90w power delivery mea I just connect the work laptop to usb-c swap monitor input, and of you go.The picture is outstanding, the DTS speakers sound really good.I got the 144Hz version as I have a 4070 Super which is not going to push 7.3 million pixels past 144 FPSWish I bought one earlier.

This monitor seemed extremely promising from a specs point of view, but it arrived dead out of the box: the power supply seemed to be broken, since no combination of different leads and plugs would even get the standby light to come on.

It is just superb, huge area, deep blacks, intense colour. I really wish I had had one of these years ago, it really is beautiful. Games just look a million dollars on it, even old games that you may have forgotten about!

Pros:Impressive size and excellent productivity with Fancy ZonesPicture-by-picture feature enables dual inputs, great for multitaskingAffordable way to achieve a dual-monitor setup with OLED technologyOLED screen quality is excellent; colors and contrast are impressiveMounting on an arm is a good option to save desk spaceCons:Dual input feature is finicky to enable/disableOSD is basic and could benefit from improvementRemote control conflicts with Philips TV remote, causing interferenceAmbiglow lighting is limited compared to Philips Ambilight and doesn’t support dual inputsPixel refresh is somewhat slow, and monitor doesn’t turn back on automatically when completePlastic back casing feels less premium when moved or adjustedText clarity is slightly inferior to LCD but becomes less noticeable over timeSummary: This monitor provides a cost-effective entry into the OLED space with a dual-monitor setup. The display quality is outstanding, making it a strong choice for productivity. However, a few design limitations—such as the basic OSD, minor inconveniences with dual-input functionality, and lower-quality build materials—keep it from feeling fully premium. Small improvements would make this monitor exceptional, and Samsung’s competing models may offer some of these refinements. Nonetheless, for its price, this monitor still offers great value and performance.

I only had the 144mghz version. But it is stunning, amazing, absolutely 💯 % worth every penny. Get the chance to get one, then get it! Bought primarily for Flight Simulation.

Truly amazing monitor does everything you need and way more. Very Clever Bit of Kit.
