San Juan Capistrano, California – November 24, 2015. PMA Research (PMA), the worldwide market information experts on large displays, has published their latest report on large-format (32” and larger) displays. PMA’s Distributor Flat Panel Tracking Service offers timely sell-through data and analysis on unit sales, revenues and true volume-weighted street prices of Large-Format Flat Panel displays (32” and larger) sold by leading U.S. IT/PC and Pro AV Distributors.

During October, unit sales of professional models increased 26% on a year/year basis while revenues rose 45%. Driving those gains through distribution were sales of +70-inch models, which hit 10% of monthly professional volume for the first time.

Sharp had a pair of best-selling professional, +70-inch models in October with the LC-70LE661U and the LC-80LE661U coming in first and second, respectively. Samsung followed with the DM75E coming in third. NEC rounded out this top five best-selling list with the P703 coming in fourth and the E805 coming in fifth.

Also in the professional market, volume gains for displays with ultra-narrow bezels (<=5.5mm) continued to outperform the overall market and helped lift the 55- to 59-inch segment into the lead as the top range by revenues.

The top five best-selling professional models with ultra-narrow bezels (<=5.5mm) in October were the NEC X554UN-2 in first place, followed by the LG 47WV50BR-B in second place. Samsung’s UD55E-P came in third, and NEC’s X554UNS came in fourth. Samsung rounded out this top five list as the UD46D-P was the month’s fifth best-seller through distribution.
