Computing >> In 1999, Samsung
SyncMaster monitors continued
to lead the global market with a
14% stake, backed by strong sales
of our growing flat-screen CRT
and flat-panel TFT-LCD monitor
lines.
Our SpinPoint hard drive
capacities climbed over 50%
from 12.9 GB to 20 GB as sales
grew a healthy 6.7%. We expect
capacities to double to 40.8 GB
and volume to rise 50% in 2000.

as our market share shot from
8.7% to 11.2%. In 2000, we’ve
set our sights on 16% of the
overall and 20% of the DVD-ROM
market.
Focusing on SOHO and busi-
ness users, we also rolled out a
new range of inkjet- and laser-
based fax and multifunction
printers as well as workgroup
lasers capable of printing up to
26 ppm at up to 1,500 dpi.
