Two 5 W speakers, a headphone output, a USB-A hub and PIP/PBP for two devices are built in, and the stand gives 130 mm of height adjustment.
Before you buy
SDR brightness is listed at 250 nits at full-screen (100% APL), and Philips lists 83.7 W typical on-mode power with energy class G.
There is no USB-C input, and the stand does not pivot: Philips lists height, tilt and swivel only, and captions its Compact Ergo Base logo “no pivot”.
The UK and US specification feeds differ on swivel range (±20° vs ±30°).

Eye care & features
9 items
- Panel cooling
- Integrated graphene cooling shield
Philips says the graphene shield disperses heat generated by the panel’s blue light to protect QD-OLED colours from fading over time. A manufacturer claim, not a burn-in guarantee.
Source - OLED care features
- Pixel orbiting (reserved border pixels: 2576 × 1456 total, 2560 × 1440 active)
Product-page footnote: extra pixels on each side are reserved for pixel orbiting. These Philips pages do not itemise other OLED care functions; not a burn-in guarantee.
Source - Ambient lighting (Ambiglow)
- AI-enhanced Ambiglow (3-sided); Windows Dynamic Lighting
Philips says the AI-enhanced processor adapts the colour and brightness of the emitted light to the on-screen image. Windows Dynamic Lighting lets Windows 11 synchronise and manage RGB lighting across monitors and peripherals from one menu. Philips does not name the three sides.
- On-screen gaming tools
- Smart Crosshair; Smart Sniper; Shadow Boost; Stark Shadow Boost; Low Input Lag; SmartImage game
Named Philips game functions from the UK and US specification feeds. Philips says Smart Crosshair changes the crosshair to the complementary colour of the background. No input-lag figure is published.
- SmartImage game modes
- FPS; Racing; RTS (with SmartFrame); Gamer 1; Gamer 2
Modes described on the product page for the SmartImage game OSD; Gamer 1 and Gamer 2 store personalised settings. The specification feeds do not list the modes.
- Desktop monitor software
- Evnia Precision Centre
Philips describes Evnia Precision Center as software for optimising and personalising the monitor’s settings.
Source - Flicker-free
- YesSource
- LowBlue mode
- Yes
The UK and US feeds list “LowBlue Mode: Yes” in the Picture/Display chapter and also name LowBlue Mode under Other convenience. Philips’ separate “Low blue light compliance” claim is recorded as hardware_low_blue_light.
- Low-blue-light compliance (emission criterion)
- Yes
The UK and US specification feeds list “Low blue light: Low blue light compliance*”, separately from LowBlue Mode. The product-page disclaimers give the criterion: “The ratio of display emission light in the range from 415 - 455 nm to the display emission of 400 - 500 nm shall be less than 50%.” Philips names no certifying body or measured percentage for this claim on these pages. A manufacturer claim, not medical advice.
Box, warranty & identity
3 items
- In the box
- Monitor with stand; DP cable; HDMI cable; USB upstream (B-A) cable; power cable; user documentationSource
- Manufacturer warranty
- Not listed by the manufacturer
Not established from an accepted Philips source. The UK product page links a model-specific document, “QD OLED Warranty_27M2N8500.pdf”, but it is hosted on tpvpxm.saas.contentserv.com, which is not an accepted Philips origin, so it was not captured or used; the warranty term and any OLED burn-in coverage are therefore unknown here. The page header’s “2 year warranty” is a site-wide Philips-store banner, not a model-specific term, and is not used. The UK and US specification feeds state no warranty.
- Regional configuration
- UK/EU SKU 27M2N8500/00; US SKU 27M2N8500/27. The US specification feed lists the same panel, 360 Hz, ports, brightness, dimensions and weights, but swivel ±30° (UK: ±20°) and HDCP 1.4/2.2 without the HDCP 2.3 listed in the UK feed; it has no “What’s in the box” section.
