New LG Electronics Chief Set to Declare 8K TV War to Rival Samsung

New LG Electronics Chief Set to Declare 8K TV War to Rival Samsung

Consumer Electronics Nov 29,2019 0

LG Electronics has a new chief executive officer and will likely get tough on an ongoing dispute over 8K TVs with its arch-rival Samsung Electronics.

Kwon Bong-seok, who replaces Jo Seong-jin, the vice chairman of LG Electronics, is the one who made a public denouncement of Samsung’s quantum dot light-emitting diode TV that it is only a sort of LCD TV at a press conference in March.

LG Electronics is locking horns with Samsung over the definition of 8K TV quality. Many industry officials forecast that LG is likely to take even stronger actions against the rival, especially in the 8K TV market.

Kwon who has been leading LG’s home entertainment business since 2015 is known as a successful strategist.

When he first came to head the unit, the TV business reported an operating deficit in the first half of 2015. The HE unit’s sales had declined from 23.9 trillion won in 2011 to 17.4 trillion won in 2015.

Kwon decided to fully focus the unit’s capabilities on the OLED TV business, while ditching unnecessary or money-losing products, such as curved TVs.

At Europe’s largest electronics trade show IFA 2019 in September, LG accused Samsung of misleading and deceiving consumers with its QLED 8K TVs, which have a far lower contrast modulation level than LG’s OLED 8K TVs.

Samsung is highly likely to come up with an 8K model that has a higher CM level of around 50 percent to meet the US Consumer Technology Association standard.

The new CEO has also been leading LG’s struggling mobile communications business since early this year.

Under Kwon, LG shut down its smartphone manufacturing line in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province and relocated necessary facilities and workforces to Vietnam.

Next year, the company plans to increase the proportion of low- and mid-range phones produced by third-party original development manufacturers to nearly 60 percent.
