According to trade analysts DisplaySearch, Sony has moved to the number one position in LCD TV worldwide following its re-branding to Bravia and its increase in capacity through its joint venture with Samsung. Sony’s unit share jumped from 9% to 15% on 164% growth, with 56% of its output at the larger 32 inch and upwards screen size.
