The cost of large-sized 4K TVs in Vietnam has hit the lowest point in the last three years.
1. Price Drop for 75-Inch 4K TV
Significant reduction in the cost of large-sized 4K TVs in Vietnam over the last three years.
The 2020 4K lineup from Samsung, 75TU7000, is priced at 42.9 million VND for the 75-inch variant.
Two years ago, NU7100, Samsung's mid-range 4K TV model, was priced at 80 million VND for the 75-inch version. Currently, the 2020 75-inch 4K TV models from Samsung, TU7000 and TU8100, with similar specifications as the previously mentioned NU7000, are priced at 42.9 and 47.9 million VND respectively.
Actual Prices of 75-Inch 4K TVs in Vietnam Lower Than 40 Million VND
Even with Sony, a Japanese electronics brand that seldom discounts products, several models have seen significant price adjustments. An example is the X8000G model, now priced at 32 million VND for the 75-inch version. This product becomes the most affordable 4K TV ever from Sony in Vietnam, with the actual price dropping by almost 40% compared to the previous listing of nearly 49.8 million VND.
The higher-end 4K model from Sony, 75X8500G, is also following the trend. As of mid-March, the 75-inch model has dropped below 40 million VND. Around the same time last year, its predecessor, the X8500F 75-inch model, was still being sold for over 50 million VND.
Currently, the market in Vietnam has an overwhelming number of 75-inch 4K TVs, prompting manufacturers to reduce prices for competition. Statistics from an electronics store in Hanoi show that there are 40 models of 75-inch TVs available, more than double compared to last year and twice as many as two years ago. In the price range of 30 million VND, there are nearly 10 options from 5 different brands.
In early 2020, market research firm IHS Market predicted a significant decrease in the prices of large-sized 65 to 75-inch 4K TVs throughout this year. The reason lies in the decreasing production costs of large-sized LCD panels. IHS Market also predicts that the sales of 75-inch and larger TVs in 2020 will double compared to last year, reaching a 7% market share, particularly in the United States.
IHS Market also predicts that the sales of 75-inch and larger TVs in 2020 will double compared to last year, reaching a 7% market share, particularly in the United States. In Vietnam, since 2017, the market share of TVs sized 75 inches and above has increased by over 50% annually.
Comparison with a 65-Inch Screen: The display area of a 75-inch screen is over 30% larger, despite only a 10-inch size increase. In contrast to a 55-inch screen, the display area of this large-sized TV is nearly double.
For a 75-inch 4K TV, the recommended viewing distance is between 2.2 to 3.8 meters.
