PC Monitor Shipments Plummet 18.3% YoY in 4Q22: IDC Report
According to the latest Worldwide Quarterly PC Monitor Tracker by the International Data Corporation (IDC), the PC monitor market has experienced an 18.3% decline in year-over-year (YoY) shipments in the fourth quarter of 2022 (4Q22).
This has resulted in a 5.9% decline for the entire year of 2022. The market volume for 4Q22, at just over 30.5 million units, was the lowest volume recorded since IDC started tracking the market in 2008. The macro environment, which adversely affected both consumer and commercial demand, was a significant factor in the setback. Consequently, the results were in line with the anticipated 16.2% drop in shipments for 4Q22. After an unprecedented expansion during earlier periods of the pandemic, driven by work from home and gaming needs, consumer monitor demand began to slow. Commercial monitor purchases also were affected as economic sentiments deteriorated in the latter part of 2022. As a result of worsened economic conditions, IDC expects 2023 shipments to contract another 9.8% as lingering inventory and tepid demand weigh on the market. 2024 should see a slight recovery that will lift shipment volumes above pre-pandemic levels as inventory improves. Beyond 2024, IDC expects further stabilization based on the larger installed base that was created by hybrid work and the growth in gaming monitors.
"Monitors will remain an afterthought for many buyers in the short term," said Jay Chou, research manager for IDC's Worldwide Client Device Trackers. "Annual volume had averaged about 125 million before COVID-19, then shot up to over 135 million for each of the past three years. It will take a while for the dust to settle. Consumer and businesses are recalibrating their priorities, but we remain confident that much of the recently expanded installed base will be enticed to upgrade in the coming years."
IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Monitor Tracker gathers detailed market data in over 90 countries. The research includes historical and forecast trend analysis among other data.

Ironically, vast majority of people I know got rid of their 4k monitors for work and went 34 inch 144p Ultrawides or 49 inch 1440p superwides. They couldnt stand 16:9 anymore.
A buddy who does drafting just got a 5k ultrawide and literally sold his 32 inch 4k panel for peanuts basically.
As for sales. You have people who refuse to buy anything but 16:9, the high refresh rate e sports players, and the smaller market of people like me who buy big ass expensive ultrawide monitors and wont upgrade for a long time.
What I was saying is that 4k is not just for gaming happy you are happy with your monitor though!

yea i assume most people with a decent LCD/IPS monitor aren't looking forward to doubling what they spent on it for marginal (higher HDR standard / higher refresh rate ) increases.
unless my monitor dies outside of warrenty i'd only ever replace it if a reasonably priced decent oled/QD-Oled/mini LED were out and most of those are still uninteresting due to price.../ potential burn-in issue's with the oled's down the line.
i've just never really seen a monitor like a GPU something that you probably would like to replace every couple of years for more performance/features...if it works it works it's not the thing holding down my framerate from time to time or causing frame drops or lag so it's a low priority to replace whenever something improves and with OLED where in 3 years you might have burn in and need to replace the panel to get rid of it...that is just not an appealing ship to get on right now imo.
only time i ever just got a monitor is my current one where i went from 27" ghosting VA > 27" non ghosting IPS with HDR and G-sync compatibility...it's not great HDR by any means but it's enough to understand what it's trying to do and make the next monitor require a HDR600+ or ideally trueblack 400/600 checkbox.

I'm not concerned about security. I'm concerned about it taking longer to boot and potentially adding latency. You will have these problems regardless of connecting it.
You can simply not connect it to the internet... it's not like the TV guesses your wifi password on its own...

I'm actually considering a ultrawide vs my 4k for work just because I can fit more stuff on 1 screen at the same time, rather than using 2 monitors.
Problem is I can't stand the low pixel density anymore, 4k helps a bit to see closer to what a laptop density would look like and to some degree mobile.
