Samsung Leads In Global TV Market Share:DisplaySearchBy Greg Tarr -- TWICE, 2/22/2011

Santa Clara, Calif. - Samsung continued to ride atop all TV manufacturers for global

market share of flat-panel TVs in the fourth quarter of 2010, while Vizio took top

honors for unit share of LCD TV shipments in North America in the period, according

to a study just released by DisplaySearch.

According to the market research firm's Advanced Quarterly Global TV Shipment

and Forecast Report released Tuesday, Samsung was the No. 1 brand in North

American and worldwide on a revenue basis, with a 21.2 percent share of total

global TV revenues and a 21.4 percent share of global flat-panel TV revenues.

However, Vizio moved past Samsung on a unit volume basis for LCD TVs in North

America in the period, DisplaySearch said.

North American shipments were substantially stronger in Q4 2010 than at any other

time during the year, the report found, because brands and retailers anticipated

better demand during the holiday season as a result of more attractive pricing,

especially in discount channels and for value-priced products.

Shipment and Forecast Report

As for worldwide 3DTV shipments during the quarter, Sony was the top 3D LCD TV

brand on a unit basis, and Panasonic was the top 3D PDP TV brand. However, intotal combined 3DTV shipments across all technologies, Samsung was the leader in

the U.S. and worldwide, DisplaySearch said.

For the full year 2010, Samsung remained No. 1 in total flat-panel TV, although its global sharefell by a point from 2009 on growth from LG Electronics as well as increases by Japanese brandsdue to the strong home market.

The report said that following sharp declines in Q3 2010, global TV shipments rose 15 percentyear to year to a record 77.6 million units in Q4.

An improvement in annual growth rate, which had fallen to 9 percent year to year in Q3 2010,was attributed to improved growth in developed markets, particularly North America, which hadexperienced a substantial slowdown during the first half of the year, DisplaySearch said.

Globally, Samsung was the No. 1 LCD TV brand in Q4 2010, and Panasonic was the No. 1plasma TV brand.

Meanwhile, DisplaySearch said that by region, Samsung was No. 1 in LCD TV unit share inmost markets during 2010.

However, Chinese brands still dominate the domestic China market, and Vizio moved past

Samsung on a volume basis for LCD TVs in North America.

China was the only region to decline in Q4 2010, falling 2 percent year to year as a significantdecline in CRT TV shipments more than offset growth of LCD and plasma, the report said.

For the first time since Q1 2010, LCD TV had stronger year-to-year growth than plasma TV, asprices for LED-backlit LCD TV models fell a little faster -- increasing LED share to 30 percentfor the first time, DisplaySearch said.

Prices for standard CCFL-backlit LCD TVs also fell due to panel price declines. Plasma TVgrowth continued to be positive, rising 20 percent year to year, although there are signs that thegrowth rate is starting to slow as LCD TV prices become more competitive at key screen sizes,particularly 42 inches.

Global CRT TV shipments continue to contract at a rate of about 30 percent year to year eachquarter, DisplaySearch said.

"Demand for flat-panel TVs remains strong. However, consumers held off on purchases during avery stable pricing period in the first half of 2010," said Paul Gagnon, DisplaySearch NorthAmerica TV research director. "LCD TV panel prices started falling in July, but due to the length


14/15

of the supply chain, it takes about a quarter for those prices to be realized at retail."

Improving shipment growth in regions like Japan, North America and Western Europe meant thedeveloped regions regained the lead in total flat-panel shipments.

In particular, Japan, a market with very high flat-panel TV household penetration, saw total TVshipments increase more than 100 percent year to year, to more than 10 million units for the firsttime ever, as consumers rushed to take advantage of the government sponsored Eco-Pointsprogram before it ends in early 2011.

Meanwhile, DisplaySearch said it now using a new process for surveying 3DTV shipments,reporting historical data and forecasts on shipments, revenue, and pricing of 3DTVs, brokendown by brand, region, technology, size and other features.

The new criteria showed that 3DTVs accounted for about 9 percent of total TV revenuesworldwide in Q4 2010, and much more in certain segments, like 40-inch-plus 120Hz LCD TVs,which were nearly 20 percent 3D in Japan, DisplaySearch said.

LED-backlit LCD TVs also continued to grow share, rising to 30 percent of total LCD TV unitshipments for the first time, while 120Hz and higher frame rates accounted for just under aquarter of LCD units.

Global LED premiums dropped from more than 50 percent in Q3 2010 to less than 40 percent inQ4 2010 for 32-inch sets. This has been made possible through improvements in LEDcomponent costs and a reduction in the number of LEDs required in a given design due toimproved efficiency
