Titre Original: Evnia's First Gaming Monitor - 34M2C7600MV Review
Text of the video

Last year Phillips announced that they will be entering the monitor Market with their completely brand new gaming brand called avnia and this right here is the very first Avenue monitor to come out it is a 34 inch Ultra wide Quad HD V8 panel with 165 Hertz refresh rate and a mini LED backlight which means it should offer plenty of brightness to make its display HDR 1400 label possible making a bit of a different approach with their marketing this time around and they are saying that this whole brand focuses on a more diverse user base specifically pointing out women Gamers which apparently means that they made it white they added some rdb in the back and they gave it a name that very much so sounds like a fancy bottle water anyway as a woman for fifteen hundred dollars or Euros I do expect a lot more than just a few fancy extras so let's check it out design wise it definitely is a very nice looking 34 inch Ultra wide it combines a white color with some silver gray elements it looks pretty elegant with slim side and top bezels and there is a very minor natural curve present so it comes across as decent and very professional looking which I personally do like the build quality is quite good the stand itself is made from metal and it is sturdy with some white plastic covers but there is a bit of a wobble going on if you touch the Channel now this is not completely unusual for an ultra wide monitor some have it more some have it less so just make sure you put it on a sturdy desk so it doesn't wobble all the time the stand is also pretty deep about 30 centimeters or so so make sure that that desk also has enough space for it it is height adjustable you can swivel it and you can tilt it but you cannot rotate it 90 degrees which makes sense for a monitor of this format that being said you can vase amount it if you want to and position it any way you like connection wise you get one display port two HDMI 2.1 ports a USB hub and a type c port with up to 90 watts of power delivery so you can use and charge your laptop and use some peripherals using a single cable which is actually great unfortunately there is not a single Cable Management option present on the stand so the cables can be visible from the front there are two 5 watt speakers built in which actually sound okay ish I wouldn't use them for gaming or for listening to music for example but they will be completely fine for that occasional incidental use the OSD is controlled with a joystick on the back that works perfectly fine but the avnia OSD itself isn't very intuitive and it is really hard to get used to navigating it definitely something they need to improve on in the future that being said the RGB was done pretty well just like on Philips ambilites TVs the RGB on this monitor changes based on what is going


now you can either choose between three very similar pretty slow settings and then one setting that just goes way too far and honestly after seeing these response times I just think that V8 panel they use just isn't going to be fast enough and even with a more optimal setting it is just never going to be really competitive it just makes me wonder why they didn't go with a nice and fast color accurate IPS panel instead and then use that mini LED technology to fix the only major IPS downside which is the contrast
now they're using the mini LED to improve the brightness and contrast of a VA panel that already has good contrast and they're not doing anything about va's biggest weakness which is speed and then this is actually pretty

now Peak power consumption in HDR content with the whole display showing a bit over 1000 nits is closer to 94 Watts which was expected so overall I think avnia did put a lot of good ideas into this monitor the design is really nice and they're going to launch more products that match the overall aesthetic and everybody likes a nice matching setup you get all the connections you need including a type c with power delivery you get a stand that offers good flexibility and a super bright interactive RGB on the back that can really light up your background if you're into that kind of thing and it can get really bright which together with local dimming does give some really impressive HDR images as long as they move slowly because the response times and ghosting are really big issues in my opinion and for lots of people that play all kinds of different games this will be a deal breaker especially when you take the price in consideration they originally planned to release this at around two thousand dollars or Euros which would be way too much even if it was a super fast Monitor and
now they already dropped the price to around fifteen hundred dollars but in my opinion even that is too high where you can get a 34 inch cutie OLED for around 1100
now yes apnea can go a lot brighter but the Cutie oleds are way faster they have better out of the box colors they have wider color gamut and they are cheaper
now I don't think they can really fix the speed of this panel but even if they make some improvements to the color accuracy or add a more balanced response time setting without excessive overshoot it would still be too expensive to compete with the Cutie OLED alternative so I really hope they take this advice and drop the price even further that being said they are launching their own cutie Olin model as well and I'm really curious to see how that one will do anyways this video was brought to you by Corsair and their Elite LCD XD coolers these Premium All-In-One water coolers combine excellent performance with a fully customizable LCD screen that can showcase anything you have in mind with a low noise pump and the AF Elite fans they can easily keep up with the latest and hottest of processors out there while keeping your system quiet you can install them on a variety of sockets including the latest Intel and AMD ones and once the installation is complete you can use the IQ software to control the RGB effects or sync them with the rest of your Corsair gear check them out using the links in the description below that is all I have for today I hope you enjoyed this video do let me know what you think of this Avenue Twitter and if you would ever consider it thank you all for
