Samsung Overtakes Philips at Top PC LCD Manufacturer

Competition is almost always a good thing. This week the Texas-based research company, DisplaySearch reported that Samsung overtook LG Electronics Co. Ltd. in the first quarter as the largest manufacturer of computer LCD monitors. The Samsung/LG rivalry has been ongoing for some time now in the home theater arena, with each leapfrogging the other in manufacturing the largest plasma and largest LCD displays.

DisplaySearch revealed however, that it believes Samsung can maintain its manufacturing lead until at least 2008 due to its combination of heavy investment into its manufacturing plants and processes, faster manufacturing methods, and intelligent product positioning. With product prices expected (here we go again) to fall by as much as two-thirds by 2007, this increased competition and progress is welcome.
