Samsung’s LED TVs were the Cinderella
story of 2009. Despite a faltering economy,
Samsung positioned their LED TV line at
the top — twice the price of their same-
sized LCD models — and will end the year
with approximately 2 million units sold,
representing 60 percent of the LED market.
According to Samsung’s
president, Yoon Boo-kuen, the company
plans to sell five times that number in
2010, but will face heated competition. |

| Quick to seize an opportunity, bargain manufacturers will begin to sell LED TVs in 2010, offering consumers less expensive models. The list of TV manufacturers poised to sell LED TVs beginning in January includes every household name and lesser-known brands like Korea’s Haier and California-based AOC.Vizio got a jump on the competition and launched the first value-priced LED TV in September at one-third the price of a comparably-sized Samsung model, and plans to follow up in 2010 with more aggressively priced LED TVs. |

“We will provide LED TVs in sizes smaller than 32” at prices that we believe will allow them to replace CCFL backlighting,” said Laynie Newsome, Vizio Co-founder, “We expect that TruLED and Razor LED LCD HDTVs will represent 60% of our total HDTV shipment mix in 2010.”
For the price of a pair of Uggs, Vizio offers LED technology on screens that are less than an inch thick.
Volume production and the addition of LED backlighting to lower end LCD TVs will drive the price down, closing the gap between the standard LCD TVs lit with cold cathode flourescent lamps (CCFL) and LEDs. Industry research firm iSuppli predicts a difference of less than $100 between the 40/42-iinch CCFL and LED-based panels, and below $150 for 46-inch panels in 2010.
