LG.Philips is new king of LCD panels
Sorry Samsung, but there's a new king and his name is LG.Philips. The former number one LCD panel maker was dethroned by LG.Philips as the
largest LCD manufacturer in the world. The market shares for all panels ten inches and above top out at 21.5% globally
for LG.Philips, while Samsung captured 20.9% in 2005. The new champ is betting heavily on
increased HDTV adoption in the LCD segment; sounds like a safe bet to us, at least until those new-fangled SED sets hit the shelves before the
year end.

here's my question...does this count only tvs sold branded LG.Philips, or are they including tvs that were pre-partnership branded as LG and Philips respectively?

Travis, the way I read this, it would be any brand name, but LG.Philips manufactured.
