Philips Evnia 34M2C8600, LG UltraGear 27GR95QE and Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 tested.

Still, though, an encouraging start.

Next up we have the two 27-inch challengers, each based around LG’s 27-inch 2560x1440 240Hz W-OLED panel.

Hitting headshots with the AK-47 felt so right, even coming back to the game after a few-week hiatus.

However, these monitors weren’t perfect either.

I was chiefly disappointed by their brightness and text clarity.

Brightness was the larger problem , even in the cloudy British summer with windows behind the screen.

After the sun went down, the panels became much more usable.

Ultimately though, given the choice I’d go for the Philips Evnia ultrawide.
