As for the OSD, everything is split into 8 main tabs, as you can see here:
I do like this OSD system, things are well laid-out and there's plenty of features to toggle, including sRGB emulation, a variety of gamer-centric options like a crosshair and shadow boost, along with the usual OLED-specific care features. On that note, it's good to see that Evnia includes the total uptime of the monitor and how many pixel refreshes it has undergone which could be useful information down the line as the panel ages.
My only slightly complaint is that the OSD can occasionally feel a touch sluggish – the remote makes things easy but if you're trying to move down several settings at once it's not always the snappiest experience, but you will get there eventually so we can't complain too much.
Philips' SmartControl app also makes a return, featuring possibly one of the ugliest user interfaces I have seen in recent times, but it is an option for those who want to quickly adjust settings direct from the Windows desktop, as opposed to reaching for the joystick. It can also be used to upgrade firmware, though I discovered one quick of the SmartControl software here, as for some reason the firmware upgrade option was greyed out using the latest version of the software, but it worked fine on v6.16. Definitely something for Philips to look in to.
