Oftentimes monitor manufacturers look to set each product apart from the rest of their range or indeed from competitors by going all out on a single feature. More often than not, this would be the refresh rate as per the Philips Evnia 27M2N8500 monitor, but it could also be related to the resolution, response time, or ergonomics.

The 32M2C5501 that I have before me bucks this trend in that it’s one of the best all-rounders I’ve seen in a long time. In every area of monitor specs that you look at, this offering packs a punch that results in a great viewing experience for gamers and creatives. It could well put it on our list of the best curved monitors.
