Verdict: „As far as big screen gaming monitors go, the Philips Evnia 42M2N8900 is one of the best. Not only does it take to the stage with an exceptional 42-inch OLED panel and convenient features like USB-C hub abilities, but its integrated Ambiglow lighting provides an immersive lightshow as a visual cherry on top. […] Out of every gaming monitor I’ve tested recently, the Philips Evnia 42M2N8900 is the one that’s most likely to put a smile on your face. It’s big, provides beautiful bold OLED visuals, and pulls off an extra level of immersion thanks to its integrated Ambiglow lighting system. If you’re not looking for the fastest refresh rate around, it’s going to serve incredibly well as a UHD gaming PC panel, not to mention its specs line up pretty nicely with PS5 and Xbox Series X. […] I honestly think that the Evnia 42M2N8900 packs enough of an OLED punch laced with great features to justify its price. You’ll be hard pressed to find a screen that follows this exact recipe for a similar price, and Philips has created a compelling reason to opt for a monitor over a smaller traditional screen.“
