With the launch of its new Evnia gaming brand, Philips is introducing a 34-inch curved QD-OLED monitor, a 42-inch OLED monitor, and a 34-inch curved miniLED LCD monitor
All of the new Philips Evnia monitors include the Ambiglow. The mood lighting system syncs to the colors on the screen – much like Ambilight in Philips TVs.
