The Weapons • Training • Promotion • Brand • Channel • Supply Chain • Screen Size • Resolution • Brightness • Contrast • Price • Form Factor • Cosmetics • Features
Big Screen Displays Increasing ASPs rising too – How many industries can claim that?
The Buying Process • Promotion, friends motivate into stores • PDP-TVs attract most attention • Price may push to • Different Technology • EDTV • Consumer gets educated • Resolution, DVR, TiVo, home theater, etc. • Leaves frustrated to learn more or give up
Retail Environment • New brands popping up rapidly • Retailers, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, others • New ways to buy TVs • E-tailers, PC/IT channel, warehouse clubs • Consumers buy on: • Price • Image quality • Form factor, features & style • Consumers don’t really care about technology
The After Purchase Reality • Too complicated to set up • Too complicated to operate/too many remotes • DVDs/HDTV looks great • NTSC looks bad • Far more peculiarities to deal with than an ordinary TV
MD-TV Challenges • Form factor/Cosmetics • Viewing angle • Brightness-contrast • Lamp lifetime • RPTV perceptions and awareness • 3 microdisplay technologies • Aggressive PDP-TV price downs • Massive LCD-TV capacity investment
Home Front Projection Challenges • Wide range in prices and quality of projectors • $1,300 to $13K • Potentially best $/screen size value • Complicated system • Projector, screen, accessories • Needs installation • Who will do this? • Consumers need education • Who will do it? • Requires significant floor space to sell it • Only acceptable for big margins
PDP-TV Challenges • PDP-TV prices have come down ~30% in 2004 • Driven a surge in sales • Reductions continuing (25-30% for 2005 likely) • Challenging profitability • Fujitsu sells to Hitachi • Some de-emphasizing PDP-TVs – others increasing promotion • Samsung SDI reports profitability problems for Q2 • LG backing off aggressive pricing plans • Consolidation in manufacturing base probably coming
LCD-TV Challenges • Gen 6 and Gen 7 fabs will bring enormous capacity online in 2005 • $2B investments • Need to push panels into market • History of cycles of over supply and rapid price declines • If demand is not strong, cash flow problems develop, more price reductions to stimulate demand • Could see prolonged periods of losses • Push to 40” and 50” LCD-TVs coming sooner than expected

Crushing Price Reductions • RPTV price to drop by 18% from 2004 • LCD price to drop by 40% • PDP price to drop and 25% • Margins will be squeezed at retail • New business models will develop • Some will loose money
MD-TV Realities • Many are giving up on the 40-49” size range abandoning to PDP • Many are lowering forecasts for MD-TV in 2005 • CRT-RPTV is hanging on longer than expected
MD-TV Options • Vertically integrate to reduce margin stacks from many components and assemblies • Offer more aggressive pricing in 42” segment to stop PDP • $1,000 DLP-RPTV planned for 2006, but need to survive 2005 • Buy market share buy lowering prices with loss leader product
TV Prospects • Everyone forecasting the big-screen TV segment grows much bigger • Requires a shift in consumer spending • MD-RPTVs in the middle of very dynamic market turmoil • Addressing most challenges, but unclear how all will play out • LCD and PDP have the momentum in sales volume • Who wins? • Consumers • Who looses? • Almost everyone else
