Market research shows growing popularity of OLED gaming monitors

OLED gaming monitors have been growing rapidly in popularity amongst PC gamers over the past few years. According to new market analysis, around 12 percent of all 144Hz gaming monitors shipped will be OLED displays by Q4 2025.

A Context Sell market research report obtained by AOC shows that in Q2 2025, 9% of all 144Hz monitors shipped were OLED models. That figure is set to rise to 12% in Q4 2025. This is a rise from 8% volume in Q4 last year. The rise can be attributed to the latest QD-OLED panel technology, combined with reduced prices throughout 2025, making the technology more accessible to the PC gaming masses.

OLED displays grant many benefits for gaming, thanks to true blacks, vibrant colours, a near infinite contrast ratio, combined with ultra-low response times and high refresh rates, with some QD-OLED monitors hitting 500Hz, like the new AOC AG276QKD2.

AOC has several other competitive OLED monitors on the market too, like the AG276QZD2, which offers QHD resolution at 240Hz. For those making the jump to 4K, the AG276UZD and AG326UD offer UHD resolution at 240Hz in 27-inch and 32-inch display sizes. For fans of ultrawide displays, there is the AG346UCD, which has 3440×1440 resolution at 175Hz.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
