Philips Evnia is expanding its ambient‑lighting ecosystem with AmbiScape, a new feature designed to extend on‑screen lighting effects into the wider room. The update builds on the brand’s existing AI‑Enhanced Ambiglow system and its support for Windows Dynamic Lighting, aiming to create a more unified lighting setup across gaming setups.

AmbiScape works by synchronising Matter‑compatible smart lights with what is happening on screen, updating room lighting in real time as scenes change. Evnia says the goal is to make the surrounding environment react alongside the display, rather than leaving the room visually static during gameplay or media. Configuration is handled through the Philips Evnia Precision Center, where users can adjust intensity, behaviour and room layout.

AI‑Enhanced Ambiglow remains part of the system, dynamically adapting the monitor’s ambient projection based on colour balance and scene transitions instead of relying on fixed RGB presets. Users can create profiles and fine‑tune behaviour through Precision Center, which also manages lighting across supported devices.

Evnia’s monitors continue to support Windows Dynamic Lighting, making the brand the first in the gaming‑monitor category to integrate Microsoft’s RGB‑control framework. When connected via USB upstream, lighting behaviour can be synchronised across compatible peripherals directly through Windows 11 settings.

AmbiScape is available at no additional cost for Evnia monitors that support Precision Center. Version 1.9 of the software will be released on the 29th of April, enabling users to expand their setups with room‑scale lighting effects.

Philips has announced the Evnia 27M2D5901A, a 27-inch 5K dual-mode gaming monitor. Revealed at a press event in Croatia, the display shares many of the specs of the 27M2G5800 revealed a few weeks ago, but with a new Ambiscape lighting technology.

According to TFTCentral, the monitor features a Fast IPS panel capable of 5120×2880 at 165Hz and a secondary 1440p mode that increases the refresh rate to 330Hz. The Evnia 27M2D5901A delivers a pixel density of 218PPI and a 1ms GtG response time. The chassis is finished in white and includes a fully adjustable stand with height, tilt, swivel, and pivot capabilities.

Philips confirms that the panel supports 10-bit colour depth and covers 95% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. For variable refresh rate support, the display is certified as Nvidia G-Sync compatible and uses adaptive-sync technology to ensure tear-free visuals. Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 2.1 with UHBR20 speeds, and a USB-C port with 65W power delivery. The monitor also integrates two USB-A ports, a KVM switch, and dual 5W speakers.

A notable feature is the introduction of AmbiScape, an evolution of Philips' AmbiGlow technology. The monitor acts as a hub to synchronise its integrated rear lighting with external Matter-certified smart lights. Software customisation is handled through the Evnia Precision Center, which allows users to adjust display and lighting settings.

While an official product page has not yet been published, Philips confirmed at the event that the Evnia 27M2D5901A is expected to be available in Europe in July 2026. The retail price is set at €799.

KitGuru says: Do you think Ambiscape can become the killer feature that makes the Evnia 27M2D5901A stand out from other 5K dual-mode monitors?
