Today, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced that it has maintained its position as the leading manufacturer of gaming monitors worldwide for the seventh year in a row, beginning in 2019. 

Samsung consolidated its position as the market leader in high-performance gaming displays by capturing 18.9% of the global gaming monitor market by revenue, according to the most recent data from International Data Corporation (IDC). With a 26% market share, Samsung also dominated the OLED gaming monitor market for the third year in a row. 2]

 Hun Lee, Samsung Electronics' Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business, stated, "As the No. 1 gaming monitor brand, our goal is to continue leading the market with differentiated innovation." “Our innovation is guided by strong partnerships with game studios, and a clear technology roadmap keeps us focused. 

We are providing displays that perform when it matters most to gamers by expanding our gaming library and platform compatibility.

According to esports superstar Lee 'Faker' Sang-hyeok of T1, "in gaming, the smallest difference makes all the difference." "The fact that Samsung has been ranked first for seven years in a row demonstrates why so many of us choose it." I can't wait to see what cutting-edge gaming technologies Samsung introduces next to assist us in performing at our best. Samsung's focus on next-generation gaming monitor technology and immersive gaming experiences is reflected in its sustained leadership.
