DisplaySearch, the worldwide leader in display market research and consulting and part of The NPD Group, has released Q2'06 worldwide plasma TV shipments and revenues by brand, region, size and resolution for over 30 different plasma TV brands as part of its Quarterly Global TV Shipment and Forecast Report.

42-43" HD plasma TVs overtook 42" ED for the first time to become the top selling plasma TV with a 43% share, up from 36%, as consumers increasingly demand HD compatibility. The price gap between the two products narrowed from $881 to $666 as HD set prices fell at twice the rate of ED prices. As a result, the HD share of total plasma TV shipments surged from 56% to 70% worldwide.
