Philips is bringing a new 27-inch gaming monitor for people that want high density of pixels without compromizing the speed. Its Evnia 27M2D5901A features a special dual mode that allows customers to pick between high sharpness, 5K resolution or ultra-fast QHD refresh rates. The part is interesting because this offers an approach to solve a problem, that with high resolution monitors, users end up with slower refresh rates.
Dual-mode display lets users choose between 5K sharpness and QHD speed
This display has a Fast IPS panel powering the display. It offers two different modes of resolution to cater to different hardware possibilities. On one side, the monitor can be set to its 5K native resolution, which will provide 5120×2880 pixels of resolution. The other option is to lower the resolution to QHD to allow for higher refresh rates.
Specifications
- Panel Type: Fast IPS
- Resolution: 5K (5120 x 2880)
- Refresh Rate (5K Mode): 165 Hz native / 180 Hz overclocked
- Refresh Rate (QHD Mode): 350 Hz

When working in 5K native resolution mode, this monitor will operate at its regular 165Hz refresh rate. You can overclock it to 180Hz if you're fine doing that. If you switch to the QHD resolution mode, it can go all the way to 350Hz refresh rate. It's also DisplayHDR 400 certified for basic HDR.
It has a USB-C port for 96W power delivery. 95% sRGB and 90% of DCI-P3 coverage. It features KVM for managing several computers with one set of peripherals. There's an ergonomic stand with tilt, height, swivel and 90° pivot.
This costs 699GBP ($929, approx.) in the UK. In the US, it's 929USD (approx. $929). Philips will launch it worldwide on December 2026. We don't know the exact versions of HDMI and DP yet.
IPS displays tend to have lower contrast ratios than OLED or even Mini-LED. That's the nature of the technology with this panel, because it's edge-lit. This is a concrete product announcement with specs and prices.
