ICT products distributer Mustek has been selected as an official distributor of LG's range of visual display products.

Mustek says it will supply desktop monitors, televisions, public display panels and LED projectors to the dealer channel throughout Africa.

The deal forms part of Mustek's efforts to grow its visual display product offerings and to offer more globally recognised brands to the channel.

Lizette McIntosh, LG product manager at Mustek, says: "LG brings unique features to our visual display products offering. All LG screens feature the highest quality IPS liquid crystal technology, which provides a better quality image and better viewing angles.

"We're seeing a convergence in the market between television and large-format display panels, where customers are using smart TVs for digital signage applications. LG caters for both these markets with its range of panels and we're excited to be able to offer these to the channel at a competitive price point," she explains.

According to market research firm IHS, the OLED TV panel market is predicted to grow from $1 billion to $1.9 billion this year. Additionally, Markets and Markets predicts that the digital signage market, which was valued at $16.88 billion in 2015, will reach $27.34 billion by 2022, representing a compound annual growth rate of 6.7% between 2016 and 2022.

Zandre Rudolph, sales manager for LG Electronics IT Business Unit, says: "LG Electronics continues to pride itself in providing technically advanced products that do not just meet the standards of consumers, but exceed in excellence and performance.''

Other LG commercial distribution partners include: PTAC direct sales, Sears commercial, Clear sight & sound, Apex procurement, hospitality LCD, Blue Star and more.
