Samsung's worldwide LCD-TV shipments for the second quarter amounted to 5.7 million units, up 12 percent from the first quarter, iSuppli said. It was the largest unit increase of all LCD-TV brands during the quarter, according to the firm.
The 12 percent growth gave Samsung a market share of 18.5 percent, iSuppli said.
"Samsung in the second quarter was very aggressive in introducing and marketing LCD-TVs that featured LED backlights," said Riddhi Patel, iSuppli's principal television analyst, in a statement. "This put Samsung at the forefront of this fast-growing technology trend, helping to boost the company's sales during the period."
