OLED PC monitors became markedly more popular in 2025, with global shipments nearly doubling as lower prices and strong gaming-focused models encouraged more buyers. The trend matters because OLED’s superior contrast and rapid response times are moving from a premium niche towards broader adoption, although LCD monitors remain far cheaper and more common.

TrendForce estimates 2.735 million OLED monitors were shipped in 2025, up 92% year on year, and forecasts a further 51% rise in 2026 to more than four million units. Popular 27-inch, 1440p, 240Hz models helped drive demand; Asus led the market with 21.6%, ahead of Samsung on 19.3% and MSI on 13.1%. OLED prices have only recently fallen below $400, while comparable high-refresh LCD screens can cost under $130.
