Over the past few years, many manufacturers have focused on OLED monitors, significantly accelerating updates and iterations. The range of available specifications and models has expanded, gradually covering the entire mid-to-high-end market. Leveraging the brighter and more accurate display performance of next-generation QD-OLED panels, Samsung has dominated this phase of the OLED monitor panel market, leading in shipment volume. LG follows, capturing the majority of the market alongside Samsung with its WOLED panels incorporating a series of new technologies.
According to Omdia's latest research, OLED monitor panel shipments in 2026 are projected to grow by 79% compared to 2025, reaching 6.1 million units. ASUS is the largest purchaser, accounting for 23% of global shipments, followed by MSI, Samsung, AOC, LG, Dell, Acer, and Lenovo. With more capacity being transferred and brought online, shipments are expected to reach 7.5 million in 2027.
Samsung and LG have long been the primary suppliers of OLED monitor panels, but TCL's CSOT has entered the competition in 2026 with its Inkjet Printed OLED (IJP OLED) technology, disrupting the existing landscape. In the third quarter of this year, CSOT began shipping 27-inch UHD 120Hz IJP OLED panels for MSI's commercial-grade creator monitors from its G5.5 factory. Additionally, CSOT's new 8.6-generation IJP OLED factory is scheduled to start production by the end of 2027, offering larger panels, including 32-inch and 34-inch models, with refresh rates up to 700Hz.
Furthermore, pricing is a key factor driving the wider adoption of OLED monitor panels. Data shows that mainstream 27-inch 240Hz OLED panels will see a price drop of over 40% in 2026. Prices for higher-end OLED monitor panels are also expected to approach the $350 range in the first half of 2026, with forecasts predicting a dip to $300 by 2027.
