Have you ever wondered how many LG OLED TVs are shipped every year? 100 thousand units perhaps, maybe as much as a million? In the first half of 2023, LG recorded over 1.33 million shipments of its stunning OLED TVs, setting new benchmarks and records its competitors can only dream of.
According to market research firm
link hidden, please login to view, LG captured over 55 percent of the global OLED TV market in the first six months based on total shipments. As a renowned OLED TV leader now celebrating 10 years of innovation in this space, LG has once again defended its premium TV crown while further cementing LG OLED TV’s status as the pinnacle of premium TVs.
The “bigger the better” trend continues to prevail in the TV market, which is great news for LG. As more and more people desire larger TVs for their living spaces, models of 75 inches or larger accounted for a remarkable 11.4 percent share of total OLED TVs sold, while shipments’ yearly average growth rate topped 90 percent over the past five years. Staying on top of this growing trend, LG is resuming its dominance in the market with an outstanding 64.2 percent share in total shipments of OLED TVs over 75 inches.
LG is targeting this new demand for large and premium TVs in the second half of 2023 with the groundbreaking TV (model 97M3) it unveiled in July, which boasts the world’s first 4K 120Hz wireless solution that makes it easy for customers to achieve their dream interior.
Not one to be confined, LG unleashed a tidal wave of 10 million TV units (OLED and LCD) on the world, which has helped the company carve out a 16.2 percent share of revenue for itself in the global TV market.
Despite facing a downturn in the global TV market, LG persisted in strengthening its inventory management and securing higher profits while actively pursuing a strategic approach for its premium and ultra-large displays. And this commitment has paid off substantially, with its LG OLED TVs now accounting for around 30 percent of the company’s overall revenue generated from TV sets.
TV shipments totaled over 92 million units in the first half of 2023, matching last year’s first half performance. The OLED TV segment, which has been led by LG for a number of years, has already passed the 2 million shipments mark this year, which bodes well for the rest of 2023.
OLED TVs are continuing their takeover of the global TV market after capturing 9.3 percent of all revenue in the first half. Meanwhile, Omdia predicts that OLED TVs are set to shine even brighter, projecting at least a 43 percent revenue share among premium TVs priced above USD 1,500.

Are we becoming more optimistic? A new global survey from LG sheds light on the current state of optimism, revealing surprising trends and the key factors shaping our outlook on the future.
Despite global uncertainties, a sense of optimism persists. 48 percents of consumers across 16 markets feel more optimistic now compared to six months ago, with a global average optimism score of 7.49 out of 10. While France, the UK and Australia reported below-average optimism levels, Saudi Arabia, India and the UAE emerged as the most optimistic nations. Interestingly, personal growth and strong family dynamics were key drivers of individual optimism, while financial concerns tended to dampen spirits.
Entertainment, encompassing movies, TV, music and art, emerged as the leading source of optimism (60 percent), followed closely by the potential of AI (56 percent). Social media, while influential, generated less optimism (48 percent), and global crises understandably ranked lowest.
This research aligns with LG’s “Life’s Good” philosophy, emphasizing the company’s commitment to understanding and fostering happiness worldwide. It’s part of a broader effort to explore the power of optimism and its potential to shape a brighter future.
The survey also uncovered intriguing generational trends. While optimism and happiness generally decline with age, the youngest group (under 18) reported surprisingly low scores. Gen Z, while generally optimistic, also expressed the highest level of caution, with 50 percent believing optimism can be harmful. This may stem from concerns about having the necessary tools to succeed, a sentiment twice as prevalent among Gen Z compared to millennials.
Younger generations leverage social media to find positive content and connect with like-minded individuals. 86 percent acknowledge its impact on their personal lives, surpassing the 67 percent who believe it impacts society as a whole. Gen Z is also more likely to seek therapy, retail therapy or even delete social media accounts to combat negativity. Older generations, conversely, prefer offline comforts like spending time outdoors, with family or pursuing hobbies.
As a brand dedicated to fostering optimism, LG prioritizes understanding and meeting customer needs. The company recognizes that people seek resources and tools to cultivate a positive outlook and build a brighter future, and LG is committed to fulfilling this need.
This commitment is embodied in LG’s “Optimism your feed” campaign, designed to infuse social media feeds with positive content. The campaign has demonstrably boosted positive feelings, with 78 percent of participants reporting increased optimism after engaging with it.

I have an LG C2 OLED TV. I have noticed that whenever I connect any player (Bluray or Set-top box) through HDMI and watch DV content with Bluetooth earbuds/headphones connected to the TV, the video's DV metadata is out of sync and causes delayed brightness change at every scene cut. In addition to that, I also see this weird outline for any moving objects in the scene as well.
This issue doesn't happen if I watch the DV content directly through the Webos player itself and I have watched a lot of stuff that way. The issue also doesn't happen if I watch standard HDR10 stuff through an HDMI player. It is only weirdly specific to the scenario where the DV content is played through an external player through HDMI and a Bluetooth audio device is connected to the TV. The issue again doesn't happen in the case of DV content playing through HDMI without any Bluetooth device connected to the TV.
It would be great if someone could confirm this is the case with their TV as well, and if anyone has any idea on why this is happening and what can be done to fix it.
