While ViewSonic continued to dominate with a 32.16 percent share for the first half, its share slipped 1.31 percent vs. the first six months of 2006. Meanwhile, Sony made the biggest splash in the rankings, according to numbers from the NPD Group/Distributor Track data, which includes Global Technology Distribution Council data.
Solution providers say interest in large-screen LCDs adds another dimension to the booming digital signage market. Todd Swank, vice president of marketing at Nor-Tech, Burnsville, Minn., said he recently installed 42-inch ViewSonic LCDs in 24 local fitness centers. "People in the fitness centers can watch TV while they exercise, but because of the computer capabilities in the monitors, the company can put its own ads on there as well," he said.
