Samsung leads the market share in the first quarter with 36%, driven by strong sales of its 49-inch models which offer a significant cost-performance advantage—being only 20% more expensive than their LCD counterparts. Notably, Samsung’s plan to introduce 27-inch and 31.5-inch models in Q2, which are expected to further boost its OLED shipments.
Dell faced challenges with its 34-inch OLED models in Q1 due to competitive offerings from other brands featuring high quality at lower prices.

LG Electronics, holding the third spot with a 19% market share, not only continued strong sales in its existing 27-inch, 45-inch, and 48-inch OLED models but also reached new shipments highs with the introduction of 34-inch and 39-inch models in Q1.
ASUS continues to invest significant resources to the high-end monitor market while also actively developing and promoting its OLED products. With a comprehensive OLED lineup ranging from 15.6 inches to 49 inches, ASUS captured about 10% of the market in the first quarter, ranking fourth.
MSI significantly increased its market presence in the first quarter by launching multiple new models in 31.5-inch and 27-inch sizes, as well as competitively priced new 34-inch and 49-inch products. This strategy boosted MSI’s market share by 6 percentage points to 7%, placing it fifth. MSI plans to continue launching new models in the second half of the year, anticipating explosive growth in shipments of OLED monitors in 2024.
