| <P>30W-inch to 32Winch LCD TVs led sales in Q3<BR></P>
<P>Twice Magazine reports that 30W-inch to 32W-inch screen sizes represented the bulk of LCD TV sales for the first time, during the third quarter of 2005, quoting a new study from market research firm Quixel Research.<BR>According to Quixel's “LCDTV Market Review for Q3 2005,” the screen size segment accounted for almost 21 percent of the LCD TV market in the period.<BR>“After years of 15-inch and 20-inch products owning the LCDTV category, the larger screen-sized products are now having an impact,” said Tamaryn Pratt, Quixel's principal. “Prices have fallen dramatically, with manufacturers shaving off as much as $1,500 since the 30W- and 32W-inch products were first launched.”<BR>Microdisplay rear-projection sets and plasma displays also made significant gains during the period, Quixel said, with microdisplays representing the bulk of advanced television sales, while high-definition models outsold enhanced-definition plasma displays for the first time.<BR>The outlook for fourth-quarter LCD TV sales is also strong. Pratt said consumers are finding 32W-inch LCD TVs selling for as little as $1,299 during the holidays, with fully featured models typically selling for around $2,499.<BR>According to Quixel, overall LCD TV revenues rose 45 percent over second-quarter 2005 levels, to $1.39 billion during the quarter, passing the $1 billion mark in a quarter for the first time. Third quarter unit sales reached 1.3 million, up 47 percent over the prior quarter and 184 percent year-to-year, Quixel said.<BR>The firm forecasts LCD TV revenues to more than quadruple over the next four years, surpassing $11 billion by 2008. </P>
