First of all, I think it's a slick deal because it really has beautiful visuals and a great price. This 27" monitor might be better in some ways than my 34" Evnia OLED, because my PS5 doesn't understand the widescreen format and I pretty much have to manually put it into a 27" mode with black bars, the screen doesn't automatically understand not to stretch standard 16:9 ratio content. This is made worse by the fact that the screen ratio setting is the last item on the menu: it's the one thing I have to change often (going from Mac to Steam Deck to PS5), but it takes the longest to set up (Probably don't have that problem here with the 27" monitor because it's already a 16:9 screen). My screen does not support 1440p output from the PS5, I have to send either a 4k or 1080p signal and the monitor resamples it to fit the screen... I don't know if this 27" model here supports 1440p from the PS5. The menu is a little more irritating because everything is controlled by one fiddly joystick on the back: there is a shortcut for manually selecting which display input to use, but frustratingly another shortcut is dedicated to HDR modes, NOT basic essentials like volume or brightness (to do those you have to scroll through the WHOOOOOOLE menu). The screen does have a fan, and it huffs on for a second then turns off, once every half hour or so.
The Philips LED lighting does change to whatever color you want, and it's individually addressable so you COULD have each light bead in a different color to respond to nearby pixels along the edge of your screen, or do color changing or rainbow animations... but they briefly flicker with each color change and it's not really responsive enough to keep pace with the screen, so I just set it to one color (green) to match my desktop pic and my vibes; this feature is still nice to reduce eye strain and give my desk a decorative touch.
I don't like the monitors that don't have a USB-C Input for display and data. With this 27" model, you have to plug in a DisplayPort or HDMI cable, and then use up one of your computer's USB-A ports to get just two USB-A ports on the screen. At that point, why bother? My 34" Evnia has a USB-C connection that lets me or my wife hot-swap our iPads (they have a great desktop display mode which supports ultrawide, mouse and keyboard!), iPhones, Android devices, and my Steam Deck (or your laptop); they all get up to 100W fast charging, DP over USB-C for video and audio, and a FOUR port USB hub which switches to whatever the active input is, so I can instantly have mouse, keyboard, and two free USB ports for whatever (storage, chargers for other devices, printer, I have a USB desk fan). Mine also has the same square to USB-A cable, so I have that permanently plugged into the back of my desktop Mac Mini, and I can wake the Mac by moving my mouse (but for some reason, if I wake the Mac with the keyboard connected to the screen, the Mac wakes but the keyboard is unresponsive till I unplug/plug it back in).
The Evnia's headphone out jack isn't audiophile HiFi, but it's good enough for desktop speakers or easy to drive headphones, and much better than the front audio jacks on most PC case towers. The Evnia does have "utility" built-in speakers that are quite loud, but using external speakers is recommended because they don't change volume with system commands on my keyboard, and I think even setting the minimum volume in the on-board-display's menu is still quite loud and takes a lot of menu presses to get to (no shortcut). I do like that it automatically plays whatever audio matches the selected HDMI input (or USB-C on mine).
The colors, the refresh rate, the Evnia's flawless lack of banding and bad processing I see in my LG TV, the Evnia's lack of ghosting I saw in my former LG VA panel, this IS a great display, and I love photo editing or graphic design with this display. This fact and the more affordable price than a Samsung display (plus having standard connection ports) outweighs the quirks I mention and I really enjoy using my Evnia. Having a USB-C input/4-port USB hub really makes a big convenience difference for me so that I can leave my PC and PS5 plugged in permanently and hot-swap any of our mobile devices, but arguably you could also get that with a $30 USB dock hub.
