In 2017, large-screen TVs captured the attention of the market, driven by consumer demand for upgrades and advancements in 4K display technology. According to the "2017 China TV Consumption and 2018 Trend Forecast Report," consumers anticipated that the replacement of traditional TVs would mainly occur within the 50-60 inch range. By 2018, this trend became even more pronounced. Zhong Yikang’s data forecast predicted that the sales of 65-inch TVs in China would grow significantly over the next three years, reaching 9% of the market by 2020. This indicates that 65-inch TVs are set to become increasingly popular in the Chinese market.
Looking at the evolution of TV sizes over the past few years, 55-inch models were the standout in 2015, while 65-inch TVs emerged as a major player in 2016. In 2017, sizes of 65 inches and above saw explosive growth. E-commerce data revealed that 65-inch TVs accounted for 7.8% of total sales in 2016, rising to 11.3% in 2017—an increase of 44.8%.
With the launch of the 8K era in 2018, the popularity of 65-inch TVs was further boosted. This shift was evident at events like CES 2018, where industry trends pointed toward larger, higher-resolution screens.
So, what defines a big-screen TV? According to Zhongyi Kang’s latest weekly report, as of December 31, 2017, Hisense TV held a sales volume of 15.7% and a market share of 16.8%, both leading the industry. Hisense has maintained its top position in the color TV market for 14 consecutive years, solidifying its reputation as a trusted brand.
In terms of 65-inch TV sales, Hisense captured 8.94% of the market in 2016, which nearly doubled to 16.1% in 2017, making it a dominant force in the large-screen segment. Based on these trends, 65-inch TVs are expected to surpass 55-inch models as the most popular size on e-commerce platforms in 2018.
But why have large-screen TVs continued to gain momentum? What makes them appealing to consumers?
Firstly, technological advancements in manufacturing have played a key role. Historically, low yield rates of large LCD panels limited the availability and affordability of big-screen TVs. However, with upgraded production lines, yields improved, allowing for larger screens and lower prices. The success of 55-inch TVs was partly due to mature production processes and cost efficiency. While 2017 saw some price fluctuations due to supply chain issues, 2018 brought more stability. However, panels over 75 inches still face technical challenges, keeping their prices high.
Secondly, technologies like 4K and HDR have greatly enhanced picture quality and color accuracy, making larger screens more appealing. With 8K on the horizon, the future looks even brighter. It's reported that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will broadcast in 8K, and only with such resolution can large-screen TVs match the clarity of a smartphone screen.
Lastly, content is crucial. A large screen offers excellent hardware, but its full potential depends on available content. As 4K content becomes more widespread, including the launch of China’s first 4K live TV channel, large-screen TVs will be able to deliver superior viewing experiences.
The rise of artificial intelligence in 2017 also transformed smart TVs into more user-friendly devices. Improved human-computer interaction benefits all age groups, making them easier to use for both the elderly and children.
When considering an upgrade, here’s what to look for: 65-inch large screens are becoming the norm in living rooms, 4K and HDR should be standard features, AI enhances interactivity, and rich 4K content is essential.

Slide Switch
Slide Switches
The Slide Switches is used to switch the circuit by turning the switch handle to turn the circuit on or off. It is different from our other serious switches, for example, Metal Switches, Automotive Switches, LED light Switches, Push button Switches, Micro Switches, The commonly used varieties of Miniature Slide Switches are single pole double position, single pole three position, double pole double position and bipolar three position. It is generally used for low voltage circuits, featuring flexible slider action, stable and reliable performance. Mainly used in a wide range of instruments, fax machines, audio equipment, medical equipment, beauty equipment, and other electronic products.
The Mini Slide Switches are divided into: low-current slide switches (right), and high-current slide switches (left). Small current slide switches are commonly used in electronic toys, digital communications. High current is generally used in electrical appliances, machinery, etc.
It can divided into 4 types modals, respectively are:
1. High-current sealed switch
Its rated current is as high as 5A, and it is sealed with epoxy resin. It is a large current sealed switch. It has a variety of terminal forms, contact materials are silver, gold, switching functions. Therefore, there are many types of subdivisions. Widely used in electrical appliances and machinery
2. Single sided snap-on surface mount type slide switch
The actuator is operated on the side and the pins are patch-type, so it is a unilateral spring-back surface mount type slide switch. Widely used in communications, digital audio and video
3.4P3T in-line slide switch
The contact form is 4P3T and the pin is in-line. It is 4P3T in-line slide switch. 4P3T determines that it has 8 pairs of pins. At the same time, there are two pairs of brackets that support, fix, and ground. Widely used in building automation, electronic products
4.Long actuator jacking type slide switch
Actuator 12mm, and located at the top of the switch, it is a long actuator jacking type slide switch. Widely used in digital audio and video, various instruments / instrumentation equipment
