It seems like the best of both worlds between Asus and Samsung with KVM switch of PG49WCD and 240Hz refresh rate of G9. The only con is Philips took design lessons from Eizo for the back of the screen 😂
I'm still rocking it out on the monitor, perfect besides for the auto brightness dimming mainly while gaming, I even get zero freesync/vrr flicker which is great. But the auto brightness dimming for 1-3mins every 20-45mins is annoying during gaming sessions. They need to add a firmware update that fixes the "ABL". Anyone else get annoying ABL on their 49m2c8900? I've had 2 of these, each with brightness dimming that's aggressive af.
Are you telling me we can have functionally an ultrawide experience on a console???? What's the catch? stretching? zoomed in? If its that good Ill wait for a 21:9 with this tech because this is fucking INSANE! Please cover this specifically more, with comparisons to similar 16:9 OLED displays.
@@tadejpeckaj1151 pretty sure its not 100% glossy. So its like the AW3423DW ( Or at least it looks the same as that from what I am seeing in person rn of my AW3423DW. Especially seeing as it looks to have the same issue as the AW3423DW where the screen gets mark extremely easily ). So yes it is glossy, but its not on the level of a TV per say.
do you like the KVM switch software on this monitor? can you transfer files directly? detects automaticaly the sources? what about refresh rate, you get 120hz on each source? Thanks!
How was the PBP mode on this monitor? Assume it offers the option to split the sceeen in half into 2 x 16:9 inputs, but did it give options for other splits (e.g. samsung offers split into 21:9 and 11:9 inputs)
I've had my 144hz monitor that I've used for 10 years, unfortunately because it was so old the only way I could get 144 was via VGA and with new GPUs not supporting that IO anymore I had to upgrade, it's a shame there aren't other monitors that are out with specs like this. well it's worth the expensive upgrade.
@@TotallydubbedHD oh, it wasn't UW, it was a regular 16:9 monitor, it was a cheap one because at the time I didn't know anything about monitors, I just wanted 144hz hahaha, apologies for the confusion.
i know you covered it a bit, but would the monitor work for mainly home office with the occasional gaming session? or is burn in a serious problem? how does this one fare against aoc agon 49?
@@TotallydubbedHD Thank you :) Its like 100% brightness on desktop and 50% in the game after a few minuts, which makes it harder to see enemies,. Brightness should not jump up and down in SDR mode, even on a OLED screen for desktop/gaming usage :-( The added a feature called Uni Bright on opther models to fix this issue. So looking forward to a new firmware or the screen will get returned
@@JonZis2023 it shouldn't fade like that after a few minutes, you sure it's not on an eco mode as such? And yes, saw your comment on the other video I did.
@@TotallydubbedHD Just made this video for you :) After using a watt meter, I could see that is is mainly when you move that the screen will dim down ruclips.net/video/MbuFW7mmUEc/видео.html
@@JonZis2023 thanks for sharing this; very odd, not really sure what to say as I didn't experience this while gaming - certainly didn't get super dim and then suddenly jump up again when at a standstill. In fact, it's usually the other way around, say on desktop, it'll get dim automatically when it's not registering anything, and then suddenly jump up in brightness when you move your mouse or open a new window.

Finally more Large/ultrawide monitors with low input lag, high refresh, and fast response times!
Yup!
Amazing review, I love watching them.
Thank you!
Thanks for the review of this monitor!
Pleasure, glad you liked it!
Would love to see a comparison of this Evnia 49" with the newest/latest Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED (because I cannot make up my own mind ;-))
Not going to happen, sorry!
@@TotallydubbedHD that's too bad, but thanks for letting me know! keep up the good work!
@@JackieFrank thank you!
I very recently got the 34 m2c8600.
only critique is the refresh being only 175hz,
Great monitor, enjoy!
Nice review!
Any ghosting during the tests?
Covered in the video...
I was asking your feedback while using, not the UFO toy test. But thank you :)
Great review!
I'm curious to see how this monitor performs in Sim Racing
Glad you enjoyed the video! Think it would be ideal for Sim racing tbh
Great video! What brand of monitor riser are you using here? It would be perfect for my setup too
Thanks! It's a custom one that I've got that fits on my custom desk lol

Unfortunately there's no fix for that, and it is indeed pretty aggressive.

It'll stretch the image for you. Thus, change the aspect ratio (if needed)
great video. This monitor has a glossy finish?
Covered in the image quality section
@@TotallydubbedHD sorry looks like I wasn’t paying attention good enough 😅 currently at work so not 100% focused on it (work and the video😂)
Also has a glossy panel.. great. Adding it to cart 👌

Hello, does this monitor have PBP (picture by picture) and if so what is the refresh rate?
Thanks

Didn't extensively test it, but it worked well for me. See the manual for more info about the resolutions and aspect ratios.
Is it good for PS5?
😂😂
No this is good with rtx 4090

That's for you to decide really, but would be fine.
49M2C8900 needs unibright with a new firmware !
The screen auto dim in SDR which is VERY BAD when gaming
I've asked Philips for comment; really shouldn't affect gaming but can be distracting in office usage.

How is this compared to a g9 oled?
Pretty much same thing, but HDR 1000 has raised EOTF curve - meaning inaccurate HDR 1000 mode (HDR 400 is ok)
what kind of game is this at 1:16
CS2
How is the brightness vs the Samsung G9?
Suggest checking the reviews and comparing!
