Alright - percentages will differ depending on which TV types are being analyzed.

If we were aiming at capturing the market of purchasers who in the past had purchased smart tv's; then the players look like this:

According to data from Strategy Analytics’ recently released “United States Smart TV Vendor Market Share: Q4 2013,” the majority of smart TV shipments in the U.S. during the 2013 fourth quarter were fulfilled by Samsung and Vizio.
One of the report’s primary insights is the fact that most major TV producers prioritized smart features to stand out in the now-flooded, shoulder-to-shoulder flat panel market.
Here are some more specific highlights from the report:
Samsung clearly nabbed the largest chunk of smart TV sales with a 29.6-percent market share.
Leaping almost 2 percent from 2012’s fourth quarter, Vizio gave Samsung a run for its money with 24.4-percent market share.
Sony’s market share dropped more than 3 percent year-on-year, securing third place with a fairly substantial 17.6 percent (compared with Sony’s meager 8-percent share of the flat panel umbrella category).
LG claimed the fourth slot with a 5.1-percent year-on-year increase for a 13-percent share.
In the fifth spot is Panasonic with nearly 7 percent of the market share, a 1-percent drop.

Which means that as soon as Sony is added we will be on over 70% of all 4K tvs sold (assuming that these percentages hold true for buyers of smart tvs and also 4k tvs.

I'm sure there will be other ways to slice and dice the market also. The fact is that from any direction, when we add Sony, we will be very close to 3/4 of the way.
