Samsung has held the number one spot in global gaming monitor sales by revenue for the seventh year in a row, according to new data from research firm IDC.
The company currently holds an 18.9% share of the worldwide gaming monitor market and leads the OLED gaming monitor segment specifically with 26%, a position it has held for three consecutive years.
The numbers indicate how Samsung has consistently outsold and outspent rivals in a market that’s grown increasingly competitive, especially as OLED panels have moved from a niche premium option into a mainstream choice for serious gamers.
At GDC 2026 in San Francisco earlier this year, Samsung gave developers a look at its 2026 Odyssey lineup. The products on show covered a wide range of what high-end gaming displays can do right now, from glasses-free 3D to extreme refresh rates.

The headline product is the 27-inch Odyssey 3D, which delivers glasses-free 3D gaming using eye-tracking to create depth without any additional accessories.
It connects to the Odyssey 3D Hub, a growing library of compatible games that currently includes titles like “Hell is Us” and “Cronos: The New Dawn.”
Samsung says it plans to support over 120 titles by the end of the year.
For those who want 4K OLED, the 32-inch Odyssey OLED G8 runs a QD-OLED panel at 240Hz and includes Samsung’s OLED Safeguard+ protection, which is designed to reduce the burn-in risk that has historically made OLED a harder sell for gaming use.
There’s also a 32-inch Odyssey G8 that Samsung is calling the industry’s first 6K gaming monitor, running natively at 165Hz. It also supports a dual mode that pushes the refresh rate up to 330Hz at a 3K resolution, and it ships with VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity.
At the other end of the lineup is the 27-inch Odyssey G6, which Samsung says is the world’s first 1,040Hz gaming monitor. It also supports Dual Mode, making it a target purchase for esports players for whom response time and motion clarity matter more than resolution or panel quality.
