S-LCD 8-2
Samsung and Sony announced on April 25, 2008 that they will establish a second G8 TFT LCD manufacturing line, 8-2, for its S-LCD joint venture.
- Startup Date, Glass Input Capacity, Motherglass Dimension
- G7 Line: April 2005, 100K/mo, 1870 x 2200mm
- 8-1: August 2007, 50K/mo, 2200 x 2500mm
- 8-2: Q2′09, 60K/mo, 2200 x 2500mm
Total investment for 8-2 will be around KRW1.8 trillion (about US$1.9 billion) and will be located in the Tangjeong Complex. Initial glass substrate input capacity will be at 60K/mo. Both G8 fabs will most likely increase to 90K/mo or more in the future to meet growing demand for large LCD TVs.

Inspired by Giorgio Armani’s new 2008/09 Armani/Casa home furnishings collection, the Armani/Samsung Premium LCD TV was designed for “a discriminating consumer” that seeks a “sophisticated design and leading flat screen technology”.
The Armani/Samsung Premium LCD TV does look handsome. The simple and elegant design is something that I like in high-tech products. But there are some problems.

The 52″ version has the model name LN52A750R1F. Samsung Korea is calling this series simply Bordeaux 750. The company is also stating that this is a new kind of TV and is putting the stamp on these as TV 2.0. Why TV 2.0? Samsung has teamed up with Naver and YouTube so the user can directly access these two portals by connecting the Bordeaux 750 LCD TVs to the Internet via the Ethernet connection. BTW, Naver is the major Internet portal site in South Korea.

Samsung’s 81F Series LCD TVs come in four sizes: 40″, 46″, 52″, and 57″. All are driven by a LED backlight. The advantages of a LED backlight are many and one of the features Samsung calls LED Motion Plus is important. The LED Motion Plus cycles eight rows of LEDs progressively and sequentially turns each row on and off every eight of a second. This greatly improves motion blur.
Sony Taiwan: 1080p LCD TV Introductions
On 2007.09.29, Sony Taiwan introduced two 1080p LCD TVs series: X and W with three different sizes for each series: 40″, 46″ and 52″ that will be available in October. The 52″ (KDL-52X3500) will cost NT$219,000 (US$6719) and the 40″ (KDL-40W3100) will be NT$74,900 (US$2297). Sony expects total demand for LCD TVs in Taiwan to reach 700,000 units in 2007. Sharp’s 42″ Full HD LCD TV is priced at NT$109,000, significantly higher than Sony’s KDL-40W3100, by NT$34,100, even compensating for the extra 2″ in size. Competitors have announced that they will not enter into a price war in the short term with Sony. This will most likely lead to Sony capturing a significant amount of market share. Not only does Sony have a strong brand presence worldwide, when Sony’s TVs can be had for substantially less, the decision would be quite simple, in my opinion.
