Philips Launches Evnia 27M2N5201P 27-inch Fast IPS FHD 260 Hz Gaming Monitor

A new Full HD gaming monitor joins the Philips Evnia 5000 series with a focus on high refresh performance, motion clarity, and an immersive lighting experience.

Philips Evnia adds the 27M2N5201P to its line-up, targeting competitive gamers who want high frame rates without moving beyond Full HD. The monitor features a 27-inch Fast IPS panel with a refresh rate of up to 260 Hz. With up to 1 ms GtG response time and 0.3 ms Smart MBR, it ensures maximum visibility during high-speed action. The feature set is completed by HDR10 support, AdaptiveSync, Low Input Lag, and the Philips Evnia Precision Center software.

High speed performance and Fast IPS visuals
Designed with fast paced gameplay in mind, the Philips Evnia 27M2N5201P supports a 240 Hz native refresh rate with an overclock option up to 260 Hz, which can help improve motion continuity during rapid sequences. In addition to this, Low Input Lag is included to help reduce the delay between an input and the on-screen response.

To help maintain motion clarity, 0.3 ms Smart MBR can be used to reduce perceived blur in fast motion, complementing the 1 ms GtG response time for sharper transitions in competitive titles. Built around a Fast IPS panel, the Philips Evnia 27M2N5201P is designed to keep image consistency across wide viewing angles, while Full HD resolution keeps hardware requirements practical. HDR10 input support allows compatible sources to pass HDR metadata for supported content.

Immersive lighting

AI-Enhanced Ambiglow is an ambient lighting technology that uses RGB LEDs on the back of the monitor, which can be set to follow audio and video content while gaming or watching entertainment. On the Philips Evnia 27M2N5201P, AI-Enhanced Ambiglow analyses on screen content and adjusts color and brightness in real time, extending the scene beyond the panel into the surrounding space.

Ergonomics, connectivity, and comfort features
The included stand supports height adjustment, along with tilt, swivel, and pivot, allowing the screen position to be set for different desk layouts and play styles. For connections, the Philips Evnia 27M2N5201P includes one HDMI 2.0 port and DisplayPort 1.4, plus a headphone output, supporting common PC and console sources. The monitor is supplied with HDMI and DisplayPort cables for straightforward setup.

For longer sessions, Flicker-free operation and LowBlue Mode are included to support viewing comfort, alongside SoftBlue Technology. The Philips Evnia Precision Center provides a settings and profiles software tool, allowing users to adjust key parameters and manage configurations beyond on-screen controls.

The Philips Evnia 27M2N5201P will be available for purchase from the end of April 2026 at an MSRP of £159.99
