Samsung Retains No. 1 Position in Global Gaming Monitor Market for Seventh Year

Samsung today announced it has retained its position as the world’s No. 1 gaming monitor brand for the seventh consecutive year, continuing a run that started in 2019.

According to the latest data from the International Data Corporation (IDC), Samsung captured 18.9% of the global gaming monitor market by revenue,¹ reinforcing its leadership in high-performance gaming displays. Samsung also ranked first in the OLED gaming monitor segment for the third consecutive year, achieving a 26% market share.²

“As the number one gaming monitor brand, our goal is to continue leading the market with differentiated innovation,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Strong partnerships with game studios guide our innovation, while a clear technology roadmap keeps us focused. By expanding our gaming library and broadening platform compatibility, we’re delivering displays that perform when it matters most to gamers.”

“In gaming, the smallest difference makes all the difference,” said eSports star Lee (Faker) Sang-hyeok of T1. “Being number one for seven consecutive years shows that so many of us choose Samsung for a reason. I’m excited to see what innovative gaming technologies Samsung will bring next to help us perform at our best.”

Sustained leadership is achieved by Samsung through a focus on next-generation gaming monitor technology and immersive gaming experiences. That momentum was recently on display at GDC 2026 in San Francisco, where Samsung showcased its latest Odyssey lineup, providing developers a firsthand look at glasses-free 3D and HDR10+ GAMING. The 2026 Odyssey lineup will be expanded to include³:
