Verdict: “If you’re looking for a super-ultrawide monitor this might just be the endgame. It’s called the Phillips Evnia 49M2C8900, which sports a super-ultrawide 49-inch curved 1440p 240 Hz QD-OLED panel. It also has got AMD FreeSync technology, certification with NVIDIA G-SYNC and better still, DisplayHDR True Black 400, which gives you a lifelike HDR reproduction. You’ve then also got a built-in KVM switch and also Philips Ambiglow technology. […] In terms of the overall motion clarity this monitor does also meet a VESA certification, which is more specifically ClearMR 13000, which is the highest scale that one can achieve. So, it’s great to see that the overall motion clarity, at least according to VESA and of course Phillips, is absolute top-notch.”
