LG was World's Top TV Manufacturer in '05

According to research firm iSuppli, LG Electronics recaptured its title as the world market share leader in TVs shipped, leaping ahead of rivals TCL-Thomson (parent company of RCA) and Samsung. LG's global market share was 10.2% while the latter two had 9.2% each. The vast majority of all TVs sold last year were CRTs - 82%.

Sharp was the leading LCD TV manufacturer, while Panasonic dominated plasma displays and Sony led in rear-projection TVs.

It is interesting to compare iSuppli's report with a competing one issued by rival research firm DisplaySearch last week. That one ranked global TV market share by revenue (check out our 3/9 post below) and had LG in 5th place behind Sony, Samsung, Philips and Panasonic.
