Samsung climbs to top spot of OLED monitor market, maintains gaming monitor dominance

Samsung launched its first OLED monitor only a year ago – the 34” Odyssey OLED G8 (G85SB) – and it has already climbed to the top of that market. Based on data from IDC, Samsung accounted for 28.3% of the number of OLED monitors sold globally in 2023.

In terms of revenue, the company took in 34.7% of the total revenue from OLED monitor sales.

Most recently, the company unveiled several Odyssey OLED monitors at CES 2024. These were the curved 49” G95SD and a pair of flat options, the 32” G80SD and 27” G60SD. The 49” model was named CES 2024 Innovation Awards Honoree.

Anyway, Samsung is also celebrating its 5th consecutive year on top of the gaming monitor market with 20.8% market share in terms of revenue (these numbers are based on IDC data for Q4 2023). Since 2023, a “gaming monitor” has been defined as having 144Hz refresh rate or higher, before that it was 100Hz or higher.

For reference, gaming monitors made up around 16% of all monitor shipments last year. Gaming monitors, along with mainstream and premium offerings, were credited with the recovery of the market (which had a rough start in the first half of 2023).
