LG Electronics has cut its annual TV sales forecast by 20 percent, citing an uncertain global economy.
Rival Sony issued a similar warning just last week.
Market leader Samsung has long held a weak sales outlook for TVs in Europe and the U.S. for the coming quarters.
Says LG:
TV sales are seen sharply below our original target and may come in at around 32 million units this year, as the euro zone fiscal crisis is likely to continue and a U.S. consumption recovery also remains uncertain.
