Samsung Electronics continues to solidify its reputation as a powerhouse in the PC monitor landscape, driven by relentless innovation and a keen understanding of user needs. The company's Odyssey lineup, encompassing both cutting-edge gaming monitors and vibrant OLED displays, has garnered significant acclaim and market success. This sustained effort has culminated in Samsung being recognized as the world's leading gaming monitor brand, a title it has now held for an impressive six consecutive years, underscoring its consistent performance and appeal to gamers worldwide. Recent market analysis further cements Samsung's leadership position. According to data from the International Data Corporation (IDC), Samsung emerged as the top gaming monitor brand globally in the fourth quarter of 2024, based on revenue. The company successfully captured a substantial 21% share of the global gaming monitor market's revenue during this period. This achievement highlights the commercial success and consumer preference for Samsung's gaming-focused displays, which are known for their advanced features and immersive experiences. Beyond the general gaming monitor category, Samsung has also demonstrated remarkable strength in the rapidly growing OLED monitor segment. For the second year running, the company secured the number one spot in OLED monitors. Remarkably, Samsung achieved a commanding 34.6% market share in this segment just two years after introducing its inaugural OLED model, the Odyssey OLED G9. This rapid ascent speaks volumes about the quality and appeal of Samsung's OLED technology. Since that initial launch, the company has expanded its portfolio significantly, introducing several popular OLED monitors, including models like:Odyssey ArkOdyssey OLED G6Odyssey OLED G8Smart Monitor M9Samsung's commitment to innovation shows no signs of slowing down. This year, the company continued to push boundaries by launching updated versions of its popular OLED models, such as the Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) and Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF), alongside a refreshed Odyssey G9. Perhaps most notably, Samsung unveiled its first glasses-free 3D gaming monitor, the Odyssey 3D (G90XF), promising a new level of immersion. While the advanced Odyssey OLED G8 is already available in most global markets, the updated Odyssey OLED G6 is slated for wider release in the second half of this year, expanding access to Samsung's latest display technologies. Reflecting on this continued success, Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Samsung's Visual Display Business, stated, “Samsung’s momentum in the gaming display market reflects our relentless pursuit of innovation and deep understanding of what today’s gamers need. From immersive 3D experiences to industry-leading OLED performance, we’re shaping the future of gaming.“ This statement encapsulates the company's strategy: combining technological prowess with gamer-centric design. As Samsung continues to introduce groundbreaking products like high-performance OLEDs and novel 3D displays, its leadership in the competitive monitor market seems poised to continue, offering compelling options for gamers and professionals seeking premium visual experiences.
