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

In a world where every millisecond can decide victory or defeat, Samsung Electronics continues to set the pace. The global technology leader has officially retained its position as the No. 1 gaming monitor brand worldwide for the seventh consecutive year, reaffirming its dominance in a market driven by performance, precision, and immersive innovation.

According to the latest data from International Data Corporation (IDC), Samsung secured an impressive 18.9% share of the global gaming monitor market by revenue in 2025. This milestone not only extends its leadership streak since 2019 but also highlights the brand’s consistent ability to anticipate and shape the needs of modern gamers.

Adding another layer to its success, Samsung ranked first in the OLED gaming monitor segment for the third year in a row, capturing a 26% market share. This achievement reflects the growing demand for superior visual fidelity and Samsung’s ability to deliver displays that feel less like screens and more like portals into the game itself.

“As the No. 1 gaming monitor brand, our goal is to continue leading the market with differentiated innovation,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business. “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.”

One of those partnerships includes global esports icon Lee 'Faker' Sang-hyeok of T1, whose influence echoes across the competitive gaming world. “In gaming, the smallest difference makes all the difference,” Faker noted. “Being No. 1 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.”

Samsung’s innovation engine was on full display at Game Developers Conference 2026, where the company unveiled its latest Odyssey gaming monitor lineup. This new generation isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a leap into the future of interactive entertainment.

Leading the charge is the 27-inch Odyssey 3D (G90XF), a glasses-free 3D gaming monitor powered by advanced eye-tracking technology. It creates depth so natural that gameplay feels almost tactile, as if you could reach into the screen and brush against the action. Supporting this experience is the Odyssey 3D Hub, which is set to expand its compatible game library to over 120 titles this year, including upcoming releases like Hell is Us and Cronos: The New Dawn.

For gamers who demand visual perfection, the 32-inch Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SH) delivers 4K QD-OLED resolution at a blistering 240Hz refresh rate. With Samsung’s OLED Safeguard+ technology, users can enjoy vivid colors and deep contrast without compromising durability.

Pushing boundaries even further, the 32-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HS) introduces the industry’s first 6K gaming monitor. With a native 165Hz refresh rate and Dual Mode capability reaching up to 330Hz in 3K, it offers both cinematic clarity and competitive speed. Enhanced with VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity, it ensures seamless performance across gaming and content consumption.

Meanwhile, the 27-inch Odyssey G6 (G60H) redefines speed itself. As the world’s first 1,040Hz gaming monitor, it delivers ultra-responsive gameplay designed for esports athletes and enthusiasts chasing absolute precision.

Samsung’s continued leadership is not just about numbers, but about reshaping how games are experienced. Each innovation adds another brushstroke to a larger canvas where realism, responsiveness, and immersion converge.

As the gaming landscape evolves, Samsung Sri Lanka remains committed to bringing these global innovations closer to local gamers, empowering them with the tools to play sharper, faster, and more vividly than ever before.
