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?

Apple has announced its next-generation professional monitors, introducing significant upgrades to the Studio Display and the all-new Studio Display XDR. These releases address long-standing user requests by integrating improved camera systems, faster connectivity, and improved panel technologies.

The updated Studio Display retains its 27-inch 5K panel but receives a massive internal overhaul. The move to Thunderbolt 5 allows users to daisy-chain up to four displays, creating a more expansive workspace with nearly 60 million pixels. Apple has also fixed the original model's most criticised feature by introducing a sharper 12MP Center Stage camera with improved image processing and support for Desk View. For audio, the six-speaker system now delivers deeper bass and more immersive Spatial Audio, making it a more versatile hub for both creative work and video conferencing.

Positioned as the successor to the Pro Display XDR, the Studio Display XDR features high-end features such as mini-LED backlighting. With over 2,000 local dimming zones, it hits a staggering 2,000 nits of peak brightness, making it ideal for high-end HDR colour grading. Unlike its predecessor, it now includes the built-in 12MP camera and high-fidelity speaker array. The addition of a 120 Hz refresh rate and Adaptive Sync ensures that both UI interactions and video playback are smoother than ever before.

Both monitors are now available, offered with either standard or nano‑texture glass (the latter is more expensive). The Studio Display starts at £1,499/€1,699/$1,599, and the Studio Display XDR starts at £2,999/€3,499/$3,299.

KitGuru says: By including the camera and speakers on the XDR model and standardising Thunderbolt 5 across the board, these displays feel like a cohesive response to the complexity of modern professional setups. While the pricing remains high, the inclusion of mini-LED and 120 Hz on the XDR model makes it a formidable contender for any colour-critical workflow in 2026, even though there are cheaper alternatives.
