TrendForce's latest findings reveal global monitor shipments declined 7.3% in 2023 down to 125 million units—a figure below pre-pandemic levels. Looking ahead to 2024, given the low shipment base in 2023, alongside the potential for a gradual economic recovery and the typical 4 to 5-year PC replacement cycle, PCs purchased during the pandemic are expected to be upgraded between the second half of 2024 and 2025. This is anticipated to drive a 2% increase in global monitor shipments in 2024, reaching approximately 128 million units.

The top three commercial monitor brands experienced over twenty percent decline in shipments
A surge in unfulfilled business orders in Europe and America in the first half of 2022 elevated the shipment baseline for commercial brands that year. However, by 2023, commercial market demand saw a significant contraction, leading to a YoY shipment decrease of 20.4% for Dell, 20.7% for HP, and 21.4% for Lenovo—each dropping by over twenty percent.

AGON by AOC - one of the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brands - is starting off the year with the introduction of a whole new gaming monitor series for its AOC GAMING line-up.

AGON by AOC—the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brand - proudly unveils the AG276QZD - the latest addition to the AGON PRO series.

Major brands, including Dell, HP, and Lenovo, experienced significant drops in shipment levels, falling by 15.6%, 22.8%, and 19.2% respectively.

On the other hand, several consumer brands saw quarterly growth in their shipments in the first quarter, primarily due to channels replenishing their inventories in March. Among these brands, AOC/Philips stood out, benefiting greatly from demand in the Chinese consumer market. Their shipments not only grew 10.9% QoQ but also increased 3.3% compared to the first quarter of 2022.

TP Vision, the company responsible for the design, manufacturing, sales and marketing of Philips branded TVs and audio products has announced that it will partner with sister TPV Group company AOC to launch a range of AOC branded sound products targeted at typically younger audiences. The activity will initially focus on the rapidly growing portable audio segment with the introduction of three portable speakers each offering a particularly, wide and authentic stereo sound from a single unit. The activity will also focus on the theme of music and dance 'on-the-go' to reach younger audiences.

AOC is a leader in display technology and is already one of the world's most successful monitor brands AOC has already enjoyed huge success selling products into the gaming sector thanks to the popularity for the company's range of AOC Agon dedicated gaming displays - currently enjoying the global No 1 position for gaming monitors. The new AOC range will initially focus on three portable speakers - the compact AOC Speaker O1, the larger version AOC Speaker O2 and AOC Speaker O3 party model - each has been able to call upon the existing TP Vision teams' proven expertise in design, sound quality, product engineering and manufacturing, with all combining to allow a rapid development process.

AGON by AOC - leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brand - proudly announces its position as the world's number one gaming monitor brand, as declared by the IDC Quarterly Gaming Tracker report for Q4/20221. The gaming-focussed sub-brand of the display specialist AOC, AGON by AOC, has outpaced its competitors to secure the top spot on the global gaming monitor market, thanks to the cutting-edge technologies offered (such as MiniLED and DisplayHDR 1400), exceptional performance (with refresh rates up to 360 Hz), and unwavering commitment to providing the ultimate gaming experience. In the last year, AGON by AOC launched its 5th generation of AGON monitors with refreshed designs as well as fast, responsive panels, and introduced brand-new technologies in its AGON PRO line-up.

Anna Stefańczyk, AOC Global Marketing Lead, says, "We are thrilled to be the world's top gaming monitor brand. This couldn't be possible without the incredible support of the gaming scene and customers worldwide who faithfully trust our expertise to deliver exceptional products with great value. As we continue to grow, we are committed to bringing innovative and state-of-the-art products to the market, tailored to the preferences of our diverse gaming community."

The Q24G2A/BK is an apparent best selling model in the Chinese gaming monitor market, and AOC has decided to make its popular 23.8-inch 1440p gaming-focused screen available to European customers. It is slightly unusual for a small monitor to feature such a high pixel density (123 pixels per inch), thanks to the 2560×1440 QHD specification - but buoyant sales figures in China indicate that the region's gamers favor higher resolutions within a compact frame. AOC is now motivated enough to bring the IPS-based Q24G2A to a western audience - where tastes could be different - although there is no word about any upcoming availability in North American territories.

The western equivalent of China's popular Q24G2 model (launched in that region last year) has been updated and fitted with a pair of internal stereo speakers (rated at 2 W each), and the overall aesthetic is quite familiar - the Q24G2A/BK looks to share the same chassis (plus stand) with the cheaper/lower spec 24G2U/BK model. AOC is touting an MSRP of €249 for its European customers, and that pricing is a bit eyebrow raising - larger 27-inch IPS QHD gaming monitors sit comfortably in this price bracket. Pixel density enthusiasts could favor the smaller AOC since it beats out the twenty-seven inchers in terms of sharpness (123 vs 108 PPI). It is speculated that AOC has sourced the Q24G2A/BK's IPS-ADS panel from BOE Technology.

AGON by AOC - one of the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brands - announces the next model from the AGON 5 gaming monitor series. The 31.5" (80 cm) AGON AG325QZN/EU features a Fast VA panel, which can run at a dazzling 240 Hz refresh rate. With an impressive 3000:1 contrast ratio, deep blacks, rich colours and a DisplayHDR 400 certification, the AG325QZN/EU delivers jaw-dropping visuals, and its fast responsiveness with up to 1 ms GtG response time and 0.5 ms MPRT shows that it is built for competitive titles. Thanks to its imposing size, the AG325QZN/EU suits a wide range of use cases, from large gaming stations to couch-gaming or dedicated simulator setups.

While FPS e-sports players prefer smaller-sized displays (27" or even 24") to better focus on all the action happening at once, e-sports and competitive gaming cover the whole variety of genres, where a 32" display size can make more sense. Action/RPG titles, fighting games, real-time and turn-based strategy games, or simulation games, all benefit from a larger display size to better display intricate details and/or immerse the player in the action itself.

AGON by AOC - one of the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brands - announces the 27" (68.58 cm) AGON PRO AG274QZM, a super-fast 240 Hz gaming monitor with QHD resolution and a breath-taking Mini LED IPS panel. The AG274QZM beautifully matches the punchy and accurate colors of the IPS panel with a Mini LED backlight that has 576 dimming zones. This enables the monitor to achieve the high-tier DisplayHDR 1000 certification with 1200 nits peak brightness, displaying deep blacks and bright sunlight in the same frame, while offering true high-speed gaming (11 msGtG) without compromises that competitive gamers look for.

Designed for success

Sharing the exquisite craftsmanship of its family, the AGON PRO AG274QZM features an award winning (red dot design award) form and heavy-duty, ergonomic stand. The stand, with built-in cable management offers height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustments for healthy, comfortable gaming sessions.

AGON by AOC—one of the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brands—presents the new G-Menu software suite for the management of all AGON by AOC-branded peripherals - ranging from monitors to keyboards, mice, headsets and mouse pads. AGON by AOC's gaming portfolio, renowned for its award-winning monitors, has been broadened over the last years with a variety of gaming mice, mechanical gaming keyboards, mouse pads as well as gaming headsets. The AOC gaming accessories have been praised for their durability, quality, affordability, high-level specifications as well as RGB synchronization between devices for that little bit of extra flair.

This type of comprehensive gaming ecosystem with monitors and numerous accessories necessitated a software with which to control and customize all settings at once. For keyboards and mice, this means the customization of the keys and buttons, adjusting the sensitivity such as repeat rate, polling rate or DPI level, for headset that means managing the audio settings including the surround sound. Light FX settings and the synchronization of the lights for monitor, keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, and headset can also be managed thanks to G-Menu.

Display specialist AOC announces the professional P3 line-up with seven new monitors in three different sizes (24"/60.4 cm 24P3CW, 24P3CV and 24P3QW, 27"/68.6 cm Q27P3CW, Q27P3CV and Q27P3QW, and 34"/86.4 cm ultrawide CU34P3CV). 3-sides frameless, punchy and vivid IPS or VA panels offer 178°/178° wide viewing angles for increased viewing comfort when working online, on texts, spreadsheets, coding, graphic work and more. While their ergonomic stands enable a comfy working environment, 4-port USB 3.2 hubs on all models give further versatility in any business setting.

What makes these monitors stand out, however, are in varying combinations their built-in 2 MP or 5 MP webcams with Windows Hello support to let users instantly log in to their sessions, a DisplayPort output to create clean and sleek multi-monitor setups, and built-in USB-C docking stations to transform a laptop-based working environment to a productive desktop-based one with only a single cable. All new P3 models come in sustainable paper cushion packaging, and they are certified with the latest environmental regulations such as EPA, EnergyStar 8, TCO 9.0 and EPEAT.

AGON by AOC - one of the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brands - presents two new models from their brand new AGON 5 line-up: the 27"/68.6 cm AGON AG275QZ/EU features a Fast IPS panel with a Quantum Dot layer to produce 1.07 billion colours, combined with a 240 Hz (overclockable to 270 Hz) refresh rate, 1 ms GtG and 0.5 ms MPRT response time. Its more affordable sibling, the 27" AGON AG275QZN/EU features a Fast VA panel with a high contrast, also featuring the same e-sports-level specifications: 240 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms GtG and 0.5 ms MPRT response time.

Thanks to the extremely low input lag and the fast response times, gamers will enjoy a smooth, fluid gaming experience with both models - which will help them see and track their opponents faster and thus gives them the upper hand in competition. Being truly versatile models, both monitors are certified with VESA DisplayHDR 400 and support HDR10 to bring to life rich and vivid visuals while ensuring fast-moving, smooth images at the same time.
