4K Providers at Connections 2015: Buy UHD Now, Even if No Content or HDR

May 19, 2015

Whatever the objections – a lack of content, premium prices, no universal support for high dynamic range (HDR) – if you’re going to buy a large flat screen, you may as well buy a 4K Ultra HD model.
First off, people are already buying, said Tim Alessi, director of new product development for LG, during a 4K UHD panel discussion at Parks Associates Connections conference this week in San Francisco.

Through March of this year, he said, over 10 percent of LCD TVs 50 inches are bigger are 4K.

In the next couple of years, he said, 4K will be supported on “virtually everything 50 inches and above.”

In a poll during the panel discussion, most attendees voted in a poll that 3 percent or 5 percent of U.S. broadband households would have 4K TVs by the end of 2015.
