As you can see the solider looks a bit darker but a bit more cartoony somewhat like the original tf2 trailers.
Essentially this affects the lighting and shadows on weapons and characters.

Mat phong is a convar all you need to do is put mat phong 0 in your fps config you can put it directly in the console for comparison though it takes a while to remove all phongs from the map.
Mat phong makes lighting look much softer for lack of a better word overall.
