As Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and the rest
jockey for position in the overall sales rankings, Tosh is the one that's surprisingly gaining ground. Shortly before naming a
new incoming CEO, the company's managing director of Toshiba UK (Andy Bass) stated that things are looking up for the outfit's TV and PC monitor sales. While speaking at the firm's annual product preview, Bass noted that "12 months ago, [Toshiba's] TV business was at the lowest point ever, at just 3.4 percent." That said, 2009 is actually looking to improve, and already it has overtaken Sony for second place in the UK PC monitor and TV marketplace. The only one left to pass is Samsung, but we don't see anyone leapfrogging it for a
long, long while.

That's funny, because major retailers (BB, CC, WM, etc) would only carry their very low end models and not the ones that really performed. Meanwhile, these retailers have carried Sony's full line. When I called toshiba asking where I could even see their higher end LCD TVs, they had no idea what resellers even carried them in the US.
So... I'm having a hard time seeing how Toshiba is anywhere close to Sony, since they obviously don't have the distribution or presence.
