This year, Philips launched a new game monitor sub-brand Avinia, the main focus is a people-friendly, the price is relatively affordable, its products can be roughly divided into 3000, 5000, 7000 three levels, product positioning is increasing step by step. This time, Philips brought a new product from their 5000 series, 27M2N5510P, BOE FastIPS panel, which supports 2K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate.
Compared with the 2K 240 display, the price was already much more affordable when it was first launched, so let's take a look at the performance of this 27M2N5510P.
Let's start with the looks. The 27M2N5510P has a narrow bezel on three sides on the front, and the bottom bezel is slightly wider, about one and a half fingers.
There is the product logo of Avinia in the lower left corner of the front.
On the right side there is a power indicator and the Philips brand logo.
Looking at the back, the entire back is made up of many regular square splicing, with a row of heat dissipation holes above and an OSD button in the lower left corner.
There is a decorative RGB light strip in the middle that runs through the entire back of the display, and there are a variety of lighting effects to choose from, such as color waves, breathing lights, etc., which can be set in the OSD menu.
Look at the bracket, this bracket is also a family design of Philips, the base is roughly V-shaped,
The bracket supports lifting, pitching, horizontal rotation of about 30 degrees, and vertical rotation of 90 degrees on the left and right. Considering that some friends still only support one-sided vertical rotation, this point is still to be praised.
At the same time, the 27M2N5510P also supports 100mm VESA wall mounting.
Interface,It is equipped with a DP1.4 interface,Two HDMI 2.0 interfaces,And a power interface,In the past, Philips's gaming monitors were basically external power supplies,This time it was changed to a built-in power supply,Be sure to give a good review。
Light up this display, the overall look is more transparent.
27M2N5510P is equipped with BOE's ME270QHB-NF1 panel,
Using DP supports 2K resolution 240Hz refresh rate at 8bit color depth, and using HDMI to connect PS5, it can support 2K resolution 120Hz refresh rate, and VRR is not supported.
In terms of color,Its default mode color gamut coverage reaches99.5%sRGB ,And this display has been factory calibrated,Switch to sRGB mode,Measured color gamut coverage is reduced to91.7%sRGB ,The color accuracy performance in this mode is very good,Average ΔE0.72,Maximum ΔE1.46,Appears in blue,
In terms of brightness, the 27M2N5510P is HDR 400 certified. In SDR mode, the maximum brightness of the screen at 10% window is measured at 460 nits. In HDR mode, the maximum brightness reaches 480 nits.
Next up is the response test, and this monitor has four different response time gears. In the UFO test, the dynamic response patterns of different gears were taken as an example. In the off and fast gears, the UFO test can see some ghosting, and there is no obvious ghosting, in the faster gear, it can be seen that the problem of ghosting has improved, although the ghosting is good in the fastest gear, but there is also a certain degree of ghosting. This fastest gear is not recommended for everyone.,It's enough to switch to a faster response gear for the game.。
The OSD menu part is worth complaining about,27M2N5510P control is achieved with a five-way joystick。
The menu section is legible, but the interaction logic is anti-human. Originally, in the first-level menu or the left and right keys to switch options,The lower key enters the lower menu,But to the secondary menu and then becomes the upper and lower key switching options,The right button enters the lower menu,The false touch rate is extremely high;This is not over,The secondary menu obviously supports the end of the menu and the head of the mutual jump,But it is not supported in the first-level menu,In the intelligent image menu, push the stick to the left and exit the OSD directly。
The designer can say that he has completely forgotten that the five-way joystick also has a pressing operation, and the five-way joystick has been made into a four-way joystick, and the press only has the function of turning on and off the display, and the layout of the entire interface is not as reasonable as that of friends, so you still have to continue to work hard.
In terms of supporting software, Philips official website can download the display driver software Smart Control.
It can do some basic control of the display, such as brightness, contrast, signal source and other options can be adjusted, and you don't have to be tormented by the OSD menu when setting some basic options.
Among them, I feel that the most convenient is the function of applying the preset mode, which can link the application in the system and automatically switch to the preset mode when a software starts, such as switching to movie mode when opening the player, switching to FPS mode when playing shooting games, etc.
Of course, there are also shortcomings of this software, such as not being able to add preset modes independently, not being able to adjust the MBR function in the software, etc., and I look forward to Philips being able to improve these functions in the future.
Let's sum it up,27M2N5510P performance is good,If there is a discount, the cost-effective performance is still more powerful,If you haven't experienced high brushing in front of the screen,And I like shooting games very much,At the same time, other hardware also meets240Frame requirements,Then you can consider upgrading to240HzMonitor,On the contrary, if it is already using144or165HzViewers are not very recommended to upgrade。 However, non-FPS enthusiast players, you can try the 2K 180Hz 27M2N5510J cheaper 500 pieces, after all, the difference between 180 and 240 is not felt by everyone. How will you choose in front of the screen, welcome to communicate with us in the comment area.
