Flat-panel TV sales surge lead by low-cost vendors

DisplaySearch are reporting Flat-panel TV sales have risen 23% in the first quarter, when compared to last year. DisplaySearch say that people are looking for bargains, and low-cost vendors (such as Vizio and Funai) are leading the sales. Samsung and Sony actually saw a decline in sales.

This is probably not good news for OLEDs: people aren't looking for high-end, quality displays. At least not now. Obviously things may change in a year or two.
