Samsung Electronics today announced that it has maintained its No. 1 position in the global commercial display market in 2025, marking 17 consecutive years at the top with a 35.2% share by unit sales, according to research firm Omdia.1
Since achieving the global No. 1 position in the commercial display market for the first time in 2009, Samsung has continuously strengthened its leadership in the B2B display sector. In 2025, the company reached an all‑time high in annual sales when it shipped more than 2.5 million units.
This sustained performance reflects Samsung’s focus on next-generation signage that combines advanced display hardware with cloud and AI-based solutions in retail, corporate, education and hospitality environments.
Samsung’s B2B display portfolio is built on its commitment to product innovation. Newly launched this year, Samsung Spatial Signage displays striking 3D content in a slim 52mm profile. It has already been recognized with a CES 2026 Innovation Award in the Enterprise Technology category and an iF Design Award 2026. Going forward, Samsung plans to expand the lineup to include additional sizes.
Samsung’s Color E‑Paper lineup delivers ultra‑low power signage as an alternative to traditional paper posters. The 13-inch Color E-Paper is the world’s first commercial display to apply a bio-resin derived from phytoplankton in its housing. The display’s housing consists of 45% recycled plastic and 10% phytoplankton-based bio-resin, allowing the manufacturing process to reduce carbon emissions by more than 40% compared to conventional petroleum-based plastic materials.2 Samsung plans to go expand the use of this material across its E‑Paper lineup.
The portfolio also features extra-large format displays designed for high-impact business environments — ranging from the 105-inch QPDX-5K, 115-inch QHFX models to the upcoming 130-inch Micro RGB signage (QPHX model).
Alongside hardware, Samsung expects to maintain its industry‑leading market position by connecting devices and solutions to provide customers with consistent, integrated experiences. This includes the Samsung VXT platform for remote device management and content operations as well as the new AI Studio app, which enables easy, signage‑ready video creation from a single product image.3
“Seventeen years at the top of the commercial display market is the result of listening to our B2B customers and evolving with them,” said Hyoung Jae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “As businesses change, they need technology that is reliable, simple to manage and ready for what’s next. We’ll continue investing in displays and solutions that help our partners work more efficiently and create better experiences in any space.”

Samsung Electronics, a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, today announced that it has supplied professional monitors to support officiating and broadcast operations for select short track speed skating disciplines at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
“In environments where critical decisions depend on what people see, visual accuracy and reliability matter,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’re proud to see our professional monitors used in these real-world settings, and we continue to focus on developing display technologies built on precision and trust.”
Short track speed skating is one of the fastest and most technically demanding sports in the Olympic Winter Games. Races are often decided by razor-thin margins — sometimes as little as 0.001 seconds — and outcomes can hinge on brief moments such as athlete contact or the precise positioning of a skate blade. In these situations, officials rely on high-speed camera systems and real-time video review to evaluate incidents and ensure fair competition.
To support this process across short track speed skating disciplines, professional Samsung monitors are used to enable real-time video review and competition monitoring. With the aid of these monitors, officials can clearly assess critical moments and confidently make rulings.
ViewFinity S8: Supporting Officiating With Clear, Reliable Visual Review
In officiating areas near the field of play at Milano Cortina 2026, Samsung’s 37-inch ViewFinity S8 monitors (S80UD model) have been deployed to support fair play through real-time video review and competition monitoring.
The ViewFinity S8 features a 4K UHD (3,840 × 2,160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio, offering a larger viewing area that allows officials to examine fine details without compromising clarity. Compared to standard 32-inch displays, the expanded screen enables clearer inspection of close calls at the same magnification, helping officials review footage with greater confidence. HDR10 support further enhances contrast and color expression, ensuring faithful reproduction of video feeds during critical decision-making moments.
Odyssey Ark: Supporting Broadcast and Production Operations
Samsung monitors have also been installed in video rooms operated by Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), the official Olympic broadcaster for the International Olympic Committee (IOC). In these broadcast and production environments, Odyssey Ark supports teams monitoring multiple live feeds on a 55-inch display with a 1,000R curvature and 4K UHD (3,840 × 2,160) resolution.
Designed to enhance immersion while minimizing visual distortion, Odyssey Ark helps broadcast teams maintain a clear view of fast-paced action as competition intensity unfolds. A 1ms GtG1 response time supports consistent image clarity during dynamic scenes, contributing to smooth monitoring across live production workflows.
Bringing Advanced Monitor Display Technology to Global Sporting Events
During the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, Samsung is carrying out its global Olympic and Paralympic partnership campaign, “Open Always Wins.” First introduced at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, the campaign reflects the value of openness — embracing differences, rejecting discrimination and creating greater possibilities through collaboration. At Milano Cortina 2026, the message is shared alongside Team Samsung Galaxy, Samsung’s official Olympic and Paralympic athlete ambassadors.
Building on its experience supporting live competition and broadcast environments at Milano Cortina 2026, Samsung will continue developing monitor solutions optimized for global sporting events and complex on-site operations, supporting fair competition and seamless production under the most demanding conditions.
