Default Q2/09 plasma sales surge, large panel LCD's remain flat

Plasma HDTV sales surged 31% in unit volume and 35% in dollar volume over Q1 2009, while in the same period, large screen LCD HDTV flat panel volume sales were flat and revenues fell 7%—according to TV industry market research firm Quixel Research.

Quixel’s principal Tamaryn Pratt states in a press release, “Unit sales of 42″ 720p plasma were up 40% quarter-to-quarter as consumers were looking for value in uncertain economic times,” adding “It also helped that all the models offered were from top brands so consumers felt comfortable making a competitively priced purchase backed up by a well known brand”. Q2 saw the arrival of new 2010 plasma models from Panasonic, Samsung and LG.

Clearly LCD unit sales when including all sizes of monitors still are the global leader, but for large panels the death knoll for plasma that so many people claim has been sounding for well over a year now, is more than likely just tinnitus.
