OLED Gaming Monitors Surge in Popularity with New High-Performance Models at CES
  • At the recent CES, several companies showcased new OLED gaming monitor models, underscoring their rising popularity in the gaming community.

  • Among the highlights at CES, multiple manufacturers claimed to have launched the world's first 27-inch 4K OLED 240Hz monitor, illustrating the intense competition in the high refresh rate gaming monitor sector.

  • Among the new offerings, the Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDP OLED monitor stands out for reaching 480Hz, although this performance is at a resolution of 1440p rather than 4K.

  • Advancements in technology have alleviated burn-in concerns that once deterred consumers, thanks to the development of robust organic compounds and pixel-shifting techniques.

  • However, despite their increasing popularity, OLED gaming monitors still face challenges with pricing, as even the most affordable models start around $550, while premium options can exceed $1,400.

  • The emergence of dedicated OLED gaming monitors is relatively recent, with the Alienware AW3423DW being introduced just three years ago, followed by LG's first UltraGear OLED model in early 2023.

  • Additionally, warranty coverage for OLED monitors has improved, providing further reassurance to potential buyers.

  • This trend reflects a growing consumer preference for OLED gaming monitors, particularly as prices decrease and technology continues to advance.

  • Notably, LG reported that OLED monitors now account for 22% of the gaming monitor market, surpassing their 18% share in the television market.

  • In addition to OLED technology, MSI also introduced a 600Hz LCD model, although it lags behind Koorui's recently announced 750Hz model.
