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.
