DisplaySearch finds some positive news in big screen LCD shipments

by Darren Murph posted Mar 20th 2009 at 3:01AM

As with most industry sectors, there hasn't been an awful lot of incredibly great news flowing from LCD makers. Thankfully, that's changing this month, as a new DisplaySearch release shows the first increase in unit shipments and revenues since September of last year. By the numbers, we're looking at month-over-month growth of 23 percent, with large-area TLT LCD revenues reaching $2.96 billion. Of course, laptop PC and monitor panels still outsold panels for TVs, but not by a huge margin. As for the company breakdown in terms of overall LCD revenue, Samsung was predictably atop the pile with a 30.2 percent market share, while LG Display followed with 26.8 percent. For the rest of the figures, just give that read link a tap.

I'd imagine that shipments will grow over the course of 2009 when you consider the new HDTVs currently available. Lots of people are picking up 2008 models since they're cheaper than the new stuff and the benefits are pretty limited (unless you're going for a high end BRAVIA or Viera) and this will give retailers more room for the new stuff.
