Pacific Media Reports Flat Panel HDTV Sales Rose 9 in June Average...

Pacific Media Associates, the global market information experts on large-screen displays, reports that unit sales for flat panel televisions and business displays in North America rose 9%, but the average street price dropped nearly 6% in June over the previous month. Their Flat Panel Display Sell-Through Tracking Service report for June also shows year-over-year unit sales rose 64%, but revenues have only increased 28% because the average street price is 22% lower than it was in June 2005.



's8220;The Days Supply Index for LCD models smaller than 45-inches remained high,'s8221; according to Rosemary Abowd, Vice President of Pacific Media. 's8220;This will put additional downward pressure on prices.'s8221;



The 30- to 35-inch LCD segment was the most popular in June, with a 29% unit market share that was fueled in part by a 6% drop in average street price to $1,250. On the downside, 40- to 45-inch plasma models continued to lose market share, falling 6 unit share points in June. This segment has experienced a 14 point decline in unit market share since last winter's8217;s holiday season.



Samsung moved past Sony to take the number one position with 22.8% unit market share. In revenue share, Samsung topped Pioneer by the slimmest of margins, 21.2% to 21.1%. The Pioneer PRO-1130HD was the best-selling flat panel TV for the month.
