This is my Philips Evnia 34m2c8600 monitor review.

Here is quite possibly the best 34-inch monitor I've had the fortune of seeing. It's stunning in various different ways, the first of which is that incredible QD OLED panel which has some seriously nice colour representation and stunning visuals. This is a fast-refresh panel too, at 175Hz (over DP) with a 3440 x 1440 resolution and a 21:9 aspect ratio.

I've seen a number of ultra wide monitors and this is easily the best looking one, but it also has various other features that make it worth considering:
- Ambiglow lighting that adds immersive lighting to your wall
- Reasonable speakers that aren't terrible
- Interesting Picture by Picture mode for connecting multiple devices
- A smart magnifying mode for sniping baddies in games (CHEATS!)
- Various visual settings that include easy reading and low blue light modes that make it easy on the eyes
- Built in KVM switch so you can manage two PCs with one mouse/keyboard setup
- Reasonable HDR that turns on automatically

The Evnia 34m2c8600 is an expensive monitor but you sure do get what you're paying for here as it's absolutely stunning for gaming, great to work on and looks great too.

I found very few holes in it during testing. The only things of note are the pixel refresh mode which is designed to help with screen longevity sometimes can turn the screen off when you're in the middle of using it and then you have to power it off to fix it. The speakers are "ok" but not amazing. Otherwise it's superb.

One thing of note is that you need to use Display Port if you want 175Hz. HDMI will only give you 100Hz.
