China TV vendors are preparing for the May 1 holiday period and have reportedly adjusted their product portfolios to feature more mid-range Ultra HD TVs for release in time for the holiday, according to industry sources.

　　Models are expected to be used mainly sized 42- and 49-inch and that are expected to be sold at prices similar to Full HD units, the sources said.

　　TV supply chains as a result have order visibility throughout April but are unsure from May onwards what their orders will look like, the sources said, adding that some growth is expected as the TV market in China is expected to grow 3-5% on year in 2014.

　　Panel makers meanwhile are also seeing increased orders from the vendors for high-end large size units featuring curved panel technology, the sources noted.
