PMA has published its data on sales of large-format (32″+) displays in the USA during October. The results showed strong YoY gains, with 70″+ and ultra-narrow bezel models being particularly popular.
Professional unit sales rose 26% YoY in October, while revenues climbed 45%. 70″+ units had a new record market share of 10% amongst these displays.
Two of the best-selling 70″+ models were produced by Sharp: the LC-70LE661U and LC-80LE661U, in first and second place, respectively. Samsung’s DM75E placed third and NEC rounded out the top five with the P703 and E805.
PMA defines ‘ultra-narrow bezel’ (UNB) units as those with a bezel of 5.5mm or below. Sales of these products outperformed the overall market, and helped to propel the 55″ – 59″ segment into the lead as the top range by revenue.
The best-selling UNB units were from NEC (X554UN-2 and X554UNS in first and fourth, respectively), LG (47WV50BR-B) and Samsung (UD55E-P and UD46D-P in third and fifth, respectively).
