According to market watch DisplaySearch, Samsung controlled 20.8% of the market between January and March this year - with sales of around 4m sets. The quarter was also the first time Samsung’s share of the market had topped 20%.


Samsung saw a 70% jump in LCD sales during the period globally, and in the US it also accounted for 14.3% of all LCD TVs sold.

Just behind Samsung, during the same period, came Sony with a 13.2% share, followed by LG and Sharp with 11.6% and 7.3% of the market, respectively.

Things seem to be going particularly well for Samsung recently. DisplaySearch has also noted that the company took the number one sales position for LCD monitors away from Dell in the first quarter.

Samsung shipped 6.3m of the displays – an increase of 21% year on year – during the period, compared to Dell’s shipments of 6.1m, a rise of just nine% year on year.
