OLED monitor shipments surged nearly 92% year-over-year in 2025 according to TrendForce, reaching 2.735 million units as gaming demand and falling prices pulled the segment out of niche territory. ASUS overtook Samsung to lead with roughly 22-24% market share in recent quarters, fueled by popular 27-inch QHD 240Hz models that finally made the tech accessible. Omdia separately forecasts continued strong growth into 2026 despite broader display market softness, with monitor and notebook OLED demand offsetting declines elsewhere.

Q1 2026 data from TrendForce showed an additional 78% YoY jump in the quarter, though sequential volume dipped 11% from the prior period's promotional push. Panel makers like Samsung Display ramped QD-OLED supply while brands pushed durability features and lower entry prices, with some 27-inch units appearing in sales around $300-400. Reddit hardware communities noted the shift, with threads tracking ASUS's rise and the appeal of high-refresh OLED options over traditional LCDs.

The numbers reflect gaming's outsized pull on premium displays even as overall PC monitor shipments face headwinds. Lower component costs from expanded production lines helped, though the segment remains a small slice of the total market. Corporate earnings and supply chain updates will likely dictate whether this pace holds through the rest of the year.
