philip last night Revealed Evnia The world’s official line of gaming monitors and accessories. “Elegance” and “Freshness” were two words I heard a lot from Phillips at last night’s public event. After using your gear for a while, you’ll find that Philips counts on a few key facts. PC gamers are getting older, making more money, and they like nice things in their living rooms and offices.
I had the chance to chat with Cesar Acosta, Product Manager for Gaming Monitors at Phillips, who tries to get away from Evnia product design, especially the design philosophy behind gaming monitors and what he calls “the typical hardcore gamer.” We talked about conscious effort. aesthetic”.
TPV owns Philips and also owns AOC, one of the world’s largest gaming monitor brands. So, naturally, you’d wonder if having multiple gaming hardware brands under one umbrella of his would help solve the problem. Cesar said: According to Cesar, what Philips saw as an opportunity had to do with the data it had gathered over the past few years regarding the changing demographics of some gamers.
Cesar told PC Gamer: He continues, “They want a monitor that nourishes an environment that matches their style. They’re not kids anymore.”
Data shows that older generations of gamers shy away from the designs we’re used to seeing: hard edges, blacks and reds, giant logos, and excessive RGB. But they still want performance. These two things are often at odds when it comes to the best PC gaming peripherals. Cesar explains:
“Customers have changed. They’re a little more mature, they’re making more money, they’re probably in their 30s, and they want decent monitors that aren’t too aggressive.”
This helps explain why Philips went for a softer, cleaner look. Decorate the RGB strip. Everything is almost eggshell white and everything has a more upmarket feel. said.
Cesar admits it’s not the first gaming hardware company to introduce the idea of an entire gaming ecosystem. A gamer asked why he should consider choosing Evnia over other established brands such as Razer and HyperX. Cesar’s answer leaned toward something I wasn’t expecting. software.
“Our product software (Philips Precision Center) is unobtrusive and easy to use. It syncs with all our products.

Speaking of RGB, it’s Philips, so I asked about the possibility of incorporating lighting into the Evnia line to work with Philips Hue, our smart home lighting software. said that it is considering combining the gaming ecosystem with the smart home ecosystem. He joked that it would be kind of cool to just walk into a room and have the lights in the office and the gaming equipment all come on in sync, like the intro to a wrestling match.
Philips says it is totally in favor of the Evnia brand.
The Evnia monitors are scheduled for release in December, with the 34M2C8600 hitting shelves, and the 42M2N8900, 34M2C8600, and 27M2C5500W monitors due in mid-January next year.
