TCL Jumps Into Top 5 of TV Makers in Unit Volume for First Half, Says NPD

TCL jumped to the No. 5 spot in U.S. TV unit sales for the first half, NPD analyst Stephen Baker emailed us Wednesday. Brands one to four for the period are Samsung, Vizio, LG and Sanyo, Baker said, compared with last year’s top five: Samsung, Vizio, LG, Element and Sony. TCL was seventh last year, he said. TCL credited its partnership with Roku as a primary selling feature. NPD doesn't break out volumes.
