Notebook PC Sales Increasing, TV Sets Decreasing During Pandemic, Omdia Says

Notebook PC displays are seen increasing 9% year on year in Q2, as lockdown conditions spurred demand for small-screen productivity devices, reported Omdia Tuesday. Consumers “increasingly need to buy computers, tablets and monitors so they can work from home or attend online school,” said analyst Peter Su. But buying a TV “is not a priority for most people” during the pandemic, he noted: TV display unit shipments are expected to fall 13% in Q2.
