Consumer behavior and TV set maker strategies are resulting in widely diverging product ranges across the world. While the industry is global, regional differences are increasing. For 3D, the most enthusiastic regions are Western Europe and China, while the mix of 3D in North America actually declined in Q3’11, according to the Q4’11 NPD DisplaySearch Quarterly TV Design and Features Report. ”We were surprised to find that 3D appears to be a far more popular feature in China than North America, and the penetration rate was two times higher in… View this story

Price increases for large-area thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD panels halted in mid-June due to an uncertain demand outlook for the third quarter of 2011, according to DisplaySearch. In its MarketWise-LCD Industry Dynamics report, DisplaySearch indicates that demand is slowing, so manufacturers are making adjustments to plant capacity to prevent drastic panel price fluctuations. Panel makers originally expected to raise capacity utilization - the ratio of actual output to total available capacity - to an average of 90 percent in Q3 2011. However, as indicated in the study, capacity utilization will… View this story

We keep talking about premium features saving the display market, bringing high prices to dealers and joy to consumers. That wasn’t the case in 2009, however. DisplaySearch reports that 2009 LCD TV average selling prices (ASP) fell twice as fast as they did in 2008 -- about 24% year-over-year. Plasma displays did not fare much better. ASP for last year fell 21%. DisplaySearch attributes the price erosion to a massive glut in Q4 ’08 and Q1 2009.
