"For both flat-panel purchasers and the subgroup of 4K TV purchasers, 44 percent made the purchase after seeing the product for a good price, so the major purchase motivator for flat-panel and 4K TVs was not substantially different," said Barbara Kraus, director of research at Parks Associates.
She added, "More consumers value other attributes, including smart-TV capability, built-in Wi-Fi and high-resolution audio, over 4K picture quality,” Kraus said. "Content availability remains a key inhibitor to 4K adoption. We expect to see lower cost 4K TV technologies presented at CES 2016, along with 4K Blu-ray players and media, as well as OLED and HDR, to drive new growth in this market."
