Large curved gaming monitors are my latest obsession and I think I've finally found my favorite with the Evnia 49-inch OLED Curved Gaming Monitor from Phillips.

This dream of a widescreen monitor, cleverly named the 49M2C8900, has everything I could possibly want, including enough screen real estate to let me put four full-size web pages side by side for work. Better yet, I can have two video inputs on the screen at once, left and right or picture-in-picture.

The last large curved gaming monitor I tried was taller than this one, and I was initially worried that it would be too wide. Luckily, both my Mac and PC can handle the 5120 pixels wide x 1440 pixels high, which gives me plenty of room for immersive gaming and working with multiple windows on screen at once.

Seriously, this thing is bright and sharp. Even up close, I can see details in the image without seeing individual pixels. My gaming PC delivers sharp HDR visuals from every game it supports, including Homeworld 3, my latest real-time strategy go-to. Diablo IV looks a little stretchy on the monitor, even on the PS5, but I imagine that’s because the game itself isn’t configured to squeeze that many pixels into it. It looks much better side-by-side, with the PS5 game on the left side of the screen and my laptop screen on the right for web pages about builds and a Discord window open to complain to my gaming buddies.
