Prices of LED (light-emitting diode) television sets in the UAE have been
falling, even though sales figures of these TVs are higher than LCD and Plasma
devices.
Several stores Emirates 24|7 contacted said recent sales figure reflect much higher sales for LED and Smart TVs, however, this is due to a serious drop in prices.
One can now buy a 32” LED TV for as little as Dh999.
At Emax retail outlets, three different models of Benq, Touchmate and Nikai were priced at Dh999.
The original price range of an LED TV when they were first launched a couple of years ago was between Dh2,900 to Dh3,500 for basic models with hardly any features.
A 32-inch Samsung LED TV started at Dh2,899 while a similar model from Sony was priced at Dh2,999.
The same models are today priced Dh1,699 and Dh1,999, respectively.
A marketing and sales executive at the store said the demand for LEDs has been growing due to the slim size and better add-on facilities.
“The prices have also dropped significantly. Just a year ago, the cheapest LED was priced at more than Dh2,000,” he said.
According to another executive at Sharaf DG, the maximum individual demand is for LED sets, followed by LCD and Plasma.
“Samsung is the biggest selling brand among LED TV sets. LG too is not far behind. A 32-inch 3D LED TV by LG is selling for Dh1,799,” he said.
