The data in the report is the most authoritative and up to date available to marketeers on this critical subject. Meko's researchers and analysts are experienced professionals with many years of 'real world' experience.

It also includes profiles of all the top FPD TV brands and ODMs that are active in the European market showing their sales rankings, volumes and product segments as well as their regional strengths within the market.

The DisplayCast Special Report on FPD TV Assembly in Europe was designed in consultation with TV and service suppliers to answer two fundamental questions:

"What are the issues for brands and assemblers in making a decision on FPD TV assembly in Europe?"

"Who is doing what in Europe and where are they doing it?"

Each of the questions is covered in detail with profiles of the top brands, ODMs, Electronic Manufacturing services (EMS) providers and panel makers.
