Blue skies for big-name LCD TV makers

Although sales of LCD TVs failed to reach the levels predicted by experts in advance of this year’s World Cup, it turns out the big players — Sony, Sharp and Samsung among them — made out pretty well, while lesser-known companies took a hit.

According to research firm DisplaySearch Japan, the key was the ability of large manufacturers to adjust production levels based on fluctuating demand, as well as to rapidly tweak their TVs to satisfy evolving consumer tastes. Sharp, for one, sold 1.13 million LCD TVs from April to June, a substantial increase from the 755,000 it sold during the same period in 2005.

Yoshi’s take: I wonder what to make of this news in light of the recent price plunge of LCD TVs.
