Vizio becomes top North American LCD TV vendor

22 August 2007 6:10 by Rich "vurbal" Fiscus | 19 comments

Vizio becomes top North American LCD TV vendor Vizio, which got its start helping Gateway enter the LCD business, has something to be proud of for itself. It's quietly become the top LCD vendor in the North America.

According to market research firm iSuppli, Vizio was the top North American LCD vendor during the second quarter of the year.

Vizio in the second quarter shipped 606,402 LCD-TVs in North America, up a stunning 76.4 percent increase from 343,704 in the first quarter, iSuppli said. This boosted Vizio's North American unit market share to 14.5 percent, up from 9.4 percent in the first quarter.

With all-digital television on the horizon, there's likely to be an explosion in LCD and other flat panel technologies. Any company that takes good advantage of that market should end up in a very good financial position.

    I just purchased a Vizio 37" LCD. Personally I think the picture quality of Vizio is much better when compared side by side with Samsung, Sony, LG, etc. You cant beat the price either.
