The Die Brief Desk, after philips.com.au

The new 36-inch size is the change in the Philips Evnia 36M4C5500P, a curved Fast VA display that runs 240Hz natively and 260Hz after an overclock.

DisplayPort carries the full refresh range, while HDMI tops out at 100Hz. The 260Hz figure is an overclock, not a default setting.

Pixel density lands at 104 PPI, down from roughly 110 PPI on a 34-inch panel with the same pixel count. The panel lists 4000:1 static contrast and 95% DCI-P3 coverage.

The 1ms gray-to-gray figure and 0.3ms MPRT with Smart MBR are claimed, not measured by any reviewer. Pricing, European and United States availability, and sustained-load behavior at 260Hz are not in the document.

The port choice is the real gate, because 260Hz is an overclock behind DisplayPort.

After philips.com.au. We did not report this. The pictures, if any, are theirs.
