Global sales of 4K UHD TVs will reach more than 330 million by end-2019, up from 2 million in 2013, according to the latest connected CE research from Parks Associates. The research shows that of US broadband homes planning to buy a flat-panel TV in 2015, over half (56%) think that 4K picture quality is an important feature. Of those flat-panel TV shoppers not planning to buy a 4K TV, 42 percent were not familiar with 4K/UHD technologies, and 44 percent felt either that the price was too high or that the picture quality was not worth the extra cost.
