    Samsung’s Tizen TVs take top spot in global market

    Samsung’s Tizen TVs have been on a roll lately with greater sales in the manufacturer’s home country than the company expected. A number of reports continue to point out the less-than-stellar Galaxy S5 sales from 2014 (which is a shame, considering that it is still a stellar smartphone), but Samsung’s TV sales were the bright spot in a year of falling fortune.

    That’s the latest from Yonhap News, who says that 2014 global marketshare results confirm Samsung’s dominance in the global TV market. First, the company’s home country of South Korea represented half of the TV sales market last year. Next, Global flat TV marketshare for Samsung was 29.2 percent, with the company pulling out in a large way from TV and mobile rival LG Electronics (16.7 percent). Samsung’s Ultra HD TVs, known for their ultra-crisp images, saw the company pull out even further from its second-place rival, with 34.3 percent of the market as compared to LG’s 14.3 percent. Overall, Samsung and LG combined to dominate overall TV marketshare with 43.4 percent (Samsung, 28.2%; LG, 15.2%).

    Samsung’s TVs run Tizen OS, the company’s new operating system that Samsung looks to place in all of its products (TVs, smartphones, smartwatches, and soon, tablets and computers). LG’s WebOS has put up a fight in the TV market, and LG has decided to bring WebOS to its new Watch Urbane smartwatch lineup that provides 3G standalone connectivity by which users can send texts and make phone calls. Samsung’s own Gear S was the first Tizen smartwatch on the market to provide 3G connectivity along with phone calling and text messaging capabilities. Tizen has only arrived with Samsung’s Z1, but a new Z2 is rumored to be in the works. Current Gear S owners can use their smartwatch as a remote control for Tizen TV.
