OLED monitor shipments surge—up 98% year‑on‑year; Asus leads market

TrendForce data shows OLED panel shipments for PC monitors rose 26.1% in the past three months and 98% year‑on‑year, with first‑quarter shipments up 78% year‑on‑year. Adoption is strongest for 27‑inch QHD gaming monitors as prices fall and more brands enter the market. Asus holds the largest market share while Samsung's share slipped after gradually withdrawing from the Chinese market and MSI gained ground. Improved panel supply and lower‑priced models like the Alienware AW2726DM (MSRP $350) are making OLED monitors more accessible to PC gamers.

• OLED panel shipments increased 26.1% over the past three months and 98% versus the prior year.
• First‑quarter OLED shipments rose 78% year‑on‑year, with 27‑inch QHD gaming monitors the fastest adopters.
