South Korean electronics giants’ products have swept the top-10 television list on the latest edition of U.S. Consumer Report, which is published by the Consumers Union, the largest consumer group in the United States.

According to the Consumer Report on Thursday, 12 TV models made it to the top-10 list, including shared rankings. LG Electronics had six, while Samsung Electronics had four. The other two were the products of Japan’s Sony.

LG’s organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV (65EF9500O) and Samsung’s unltra high definition (UHD) model (UN65JS9500) shared the top spot, followed by LG’s 55EG9100 and Sony’s 60-inch Bravia LCD TV.

Consumer Report said the fact that nine of the 12 models were large-screen TVs with 60-inch or bigger screen panels shows that consumers prefer large screens. In the 50-inch range, OLED TVs were the mainstream.
