According to the latest report by IHS Market, OLED TV sales reached 611,000 units in Q1 2019, marking a 30% increase compared to the previous year. This growth rate has been highly impressive and reflects the future trend of TV preferences among users.
The robust increase in market share of OLED TVs is not surprising as they are highly acclaimed by experts and reputable tech websites such as Cnet, Rtings, and AVSForum. The list of the most impressive TVs in recent years has consistently been dominated by OLED TVs. Last year, Cnet voted LG OLED C8 as the TV with the best picture quality globally. In 2019, this tech website continued to select LG OLED C9 TV as the model achieving maximum points in image quality, surpassing LCD TVs.

The Foundation of OLED TV Success: Self-emitting Organic Diode Panels
Currently, LG is the sole producer of OLED panels. All OLED TVs on the market utilize LG's OLED panels. According to a report by BK (Business Korea), LG is also the world's number one OLED TV brand. In 2018, LG sold 62.2% of all OLED TVs globally, surpassing other major OLED TV brands such as Sony (18.9%) and Panasonic (7.7%).

LG's Groundbreaking World's First OLED 8K TV
The demand for large-sized OLED TVs worldwide is expected to surge rapidly. In 2018, the demand for OLED TVs between 50 – 59 inches increased by 54%, while the demand for OLED TVs between 60 – 69 inches also increased by 63% compared to the previous year. Seizing this trend, LG has launched the world's first OLED 8K TV series, with sizes up to 98 inches. This product line is expected to be available in Vietnam later this year.
Current 8K LCD TVs only use a few hundred LED backlight units for illumination. In contrast, all 33 million pixels on LG's OLED 8K TVs can independently emit light or turn off. As a result, OLED 8K TVs are predicted to offer more impressive image quality than 8K TVs using LCD panels.
