The gaming monitor industry has so far shown strong growth, with shipments rising 57 percent year-on-year to 8.5 million units last year from 5.4 million a year earlier, the report said. There was a significant increase in market share for vertical alignment (VA) panels last year, thanks to the growth in popularity of curved gaming monitors, the report said. As a result, curved gaming monitors claimed about 60 percent of the overall gaming monitor market last year, it said. Along with Samsung, MSI is to release updated curved gaming monitors at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, next week, TrendForce said. Monitor and PC makers are mulling expansion into the high-end gaming monitor segment, the researcher said.
