Is Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Ready for 8K Gaming?
This IDC Market Perspective assesses the potential of 8K gaming in the current Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APEJ) PC gaming market. This research includes an analysis on the 2021 consumer survey, shipment volume of gaming PCs and gaming monitors, and recent market trends to evaluate the likelihood of 8K gaming being adopted in APEJ."Although the APEJ region is starting to develop a stronger appetite toward premium gaming, it is unlikely that the region will adopt 8K gaming any time soon as the cost–benefit of 8K gaming is still very low with very limited options. Furthermore, a strong preference toward competitive online games means that gamers in the region will also highly value refresh rates and not only lean toward screen resolution when purchasing a gaming monitor," says Yexi Liao, research analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific.
