Recent figures from industry analyst company NPD and others put Samsung as the major provider of 3D TV’s worldwide, holding somewhere between 50-61% of the market.
For now though, we can make some general points about this market and the first of them being that Samsung has 61% of the global 3D TV market and this includes both plasma and LED models. The 61% figure were the latest numbers between May 22nd and June 18th and covers both number of units sold and the dollar share associated with these units
This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, as I believe Samsung was the first to offer a real “bundle” deal where you could get the TV, bluRay player with mainstream titles (Monsters vs Aliens), and glasses all at a reasonable discount. That alone probably gave them a huge leg up at the beginning, and now they’re riding the wave of world-of-mouth.
Yeah like when the D9500 is when it comes out (if it ever will), it’s giving away 4 sets of glasses and you know businesses are going to give away 3d players too as a way to sell a $13K TV!
