IPS and VA displays, which mostly employ edge-lit backlighting, dont have that flexibility.
Add in a not-quite-144Hz-but-close-enough refresh rate, and this is an OLED monitor with real gaming chops.
And the ability to display the deepest of deep blacks helps maintain details in dark scenes.
This performance is backed up by cold, hard numbers.
The Evnia 42M2N8900, happily, has plenty of the former.
Like the mark of a hot iron left on a forgotten shirt.
Along with the risk of static electricity inPC building, the likelihood of burn-in occurring is sometimes overexaggerated.
Youre not going to melt an ammo counter into your OLED monitor if you playWarzonefor a few hours.
But its not some made-up boogeyman either, and keeping brightness high probably will increase the risk.
Hence, the Evnia 42M2N8900s so-so luminance.
Take its auto-dimming, which kicks in whenever it thinks youve left it alone for a few minutes.
Agreeing means the display is unusable for several minutes while the refreshing process does its thing.
Is the image quality worth this much housekeeping?
Just about, in fairness, though the price is another cause for hesitation.
All that said, it was never going to be cheap.
But its nice to have.
As is the Evnia 42M2N8900 as a whole.
This review is based on a retail unit provided by Philips.
