Sharp, Samsung Reclaim Top Positions in TV Sales

DisplaySearch has come out with new data showing fast-growing Vizio has slid back into second place in the LCD sales battle, having been outpaced by Sharp -- which reclaimed the top spot for the first time in 2 1/2 years. Sharp now has 11.3% of the North American LCD market share with Vizio right behind at 10.9%.

Panasonic retained the number one position in the plasma display market that it has owned for as long as anyone can remember, although it was down somewhat from 32.8% in Q2 to 30.0% in Q3. Samsung is second in plasma market share at 19.8%, up significantly from 15.7% in Q2.

Overall, Samsung is the flat-panel TV industry leader with an 11.8% market share. Vizio is second at 10.2%, followed by Sharp at 10.0% and Sony at 8.6%.

I love this kind of data -- thanks to DisplaySearch for making it available for all of us to digest.
