Samsung Sets up a Separate Business Just for LCDs
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSamsung
Samsung's LCD business is big, and thanks to the recent acquisition of Sony's piece of a joint LCD venture it's been getting even bigger. The folks at Samsung are through trying to manage such a big business within the greater structure and are spinning off a new company that's going to be handling LCDs and LCDs alone.
Of course, there's a much bigger benefit than just organizational ease. The upcoming launch of Samsung Display will allow the company to respond more quickly to customer demand, shift directions in a more timely fashion and, of course, focus all its efforts on one specific task. Shareholders still have to approve the arrangement but there's no reason to expect they won't. ...

Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSamsung
Wonder what last year’s #1 HDTV company was? According to Displaybank and their yearly market share report, Samsung was the top company in 2011 with LG being a close second. Samsung managed to secure 20% of the market, while LG only captured 13% of the market. This is a significant improvement for Samsung whose percentage grew 12% between 2010 and 2011. One of the contributing factors is the LCD TV market. In the more specific plasma TV industry the reigning company is Panasonic, which has sold over 5.7 million TVs.

Google TV Unveils Big Surprise Announcement
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsGoogle
It began with a simple posting on Google TV's Facebook page late Saturday night: "Get ready for Monday, we have some big announcements!" Within minutes, the tech blogosphere was alight with speculation. Could it be a Sonos-killing streaming media device? Maybe a TV version of Google Nexus? Some other type of new hardware? A software update? Nope. The announcement has been made, and the news was something nobody saw coming.
…an update to the YouTube app for Google TV. No, really. That's it.
And that's why you shouldn't get pumped for vague PR announcements. In any case, Google claims the updated YouTube app is faster and smoother than ever before, and a new Discovery feature allows you to bro...

Sharp LC-42SV49U HDTV Released
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSHARPLC-42SV49U
Sharp is proud to announce the release of the first of their HDTVs for 2012, the LC-42SV49U. This 42 inch screen comes with full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and LCD display technology. It isn’t loaded with features like many other TVs but that helps keep the retail price down to a minimum. The TV is currently priced at just under $330. This makes the TV retail for far less than the benchmark $10 per diagonal inch. The connection panel includes a USB, four HDMI ports, a composite, component, s-video and several audio ports as well. The low retail price might have to do with the recent claims of Sharp’s poor profits last year.

Apple's iTV launch reportedly hampered by display availability
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsApple
Apple has been widely rumored to be readying a Siri-enabled television for release this year, but a new report claims component availability issues will prevent the highly anticipated “iTV” from launching in the first half. Citing unnamed sources within Apple’s supply chain, DigiTimes on Friday reports that Sharp, rumored to have been contracted to supply display panels for Apple’s debut HDTV, is not yet ready to ship the indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) panels Apple will use in its iTV. According to the site’s sources, upcoming HDTV models from Samsung and LG will occupy much of the OLED panel capacity during the first half, so Apple has chosen to instead utilize IGZO panels. Sharp is repor...

Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsHitachi
Hitachi's line of domestically produced Wooo TVs is coming to an end, now that the manufacturer has confirmed plans to close a major plant in central Japan.
