Public service announcement to explain this so people are not so concerned about what this means... 1. This is LG Display, not LG TV 2. LG TV has been using other people's panels for a while, and also they don't actually necessarily make every TV they sell under the LG brand. 3. LCD LED TVs do need to be replaced with a new technology in my view, because a technology for displays that relies upon throwing light/energy away to make an image is not energy efficient in this sustainable world, and we need to find a viable alternative that is emissive or much more efficient as a transmissive option.

Global consumer electronic brands face challenges from disruptive Chinese brands. LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics have a pair of fast moving competitors. Hisense Group just announced it was number 1 in US market share measured by units and dollars for TV's larger that 85" and their success didn't stop there they were also number 1 in Japan and Australia. TCL will be the focus of the next post.

The Q2 2024 premium TV shipment report highlights Samsung leading the market with a 33% share, followed by LG with 18%. Chinese brands—Hisense (17%), TCL (15%), and Xiaomi (5%)—collectively account for 37% of the market, surpassing LG’s share and trailing closely behind Samsung. This demonstrates how Chinese manufacturers are aggressively closing the gap with South Korean giants by leveraging competitive pricing, display innovations, and strategic market expansion. This development mirrors the earlier trajectory of Samsung and LG, who disrupted the dominance of Japanese brands like Toshiba and Sony through similar strategies. As Chinese brands increase their market presence, the premium TV segment is becoming increasingly competitive, pushing established players like Samsung and LG to innovate further to maintain their leadership. #TVMarket #Samsung #LG #Hisense #TCL #Xiaomi #PremiumTV #TechCompetition #Innovation #ConsumerElectronics #ChinaTech #SouthKoreaTech

The current pre-holiday pricing/discounting leadership from Samsung Electronics in the TV market signals a strategic shift that is designed to incentivize consumers to GO BIG! Notably, it’s the third consecutive year of increased discounts on larger TVs in the 60”, 70”, and 98” ranges, while smaller classes have seen declines. Samsung’s heaviest discounts target the 86” and 98” models, with averages of 30% and 32% off, respectively. If you have the wall space there are some serious deals out there for you! In premium and oversized categories, where growth potential is strongest, we expect to see competitors start to adjust strategy to support this push bigger and bigger. And, this is a trend we expect to continue…

When Apple launched its first store in Malaysia, Samsung made a bold move— They snapped up every nearby ad space, even securing the naming rights to the closest subway station. https://lnkd.in/gC6iATXa What’s your take: Brilliant strategy or too much? Here’s my perspective: This move reflects pure HUSTLE, and that's something to admire. Samsung’s message is clear: “Whatever Apple does, we’ll do it bigger—anywhere, anytime.” Now, not everyone can—or should—go that hard. But the drive behind it? That’s what counts. The best brands understand that no advantage is permanent. If you’re not pursuing your customers, someone else will. So yeah, maybe they went a little over the top—but isn’t that better than playing it safe? Ask yourself: "Where am I getting comfortable?" Then, go after it with that same restless energy. #MarketingStrategy #BrandCompetition #BoldMoves #SamsungVsApple #Advertising #BrandHustle #Innovation #CustomerEngagement #LeadershipMindset #RestlessEnergy #BusinessStrategy #MarketingTactics
