That depends on the market positioning. High end LG and Samsung TVs have a healthy margin.

In the first half of 2018, LG Electronics' operating profit margin on their TV segment was 12.4% due to strong OLED sales[0].

3.3% for LG last quarter, that 2018 number is better than anything they've seen in the last 2 years. Samsung is losing money manufacturing panels, but their reports are a mess.

For comparison, Apple is at 31%, Walmart is at 4.5%.


Wow, that's really surprising. I figured people were doing more TV and streaming during the boredom of the covidapocalypse


Profit margin is not necessarily a function of how much utility your product provides.
