imagesAre you on board the 4K train? Slowly but surely, Ultra HDTV is grabbing market share, and the latest report from research firm IHS confirms it.

According to the report, 4K TV shipments hit 4.7 million in the first quarter, which is a 400 percent increase over the same period last year.

Paul Gagnon, director of TV research with IHS, observed the following:

“This growth was driven by an expanded assortment of screen sizes between 40 inches and 50 inches that have recently become available from manufacturers, and retail premiums well below 50%, which is encouraging consumers to upgrade,”

At what point, if ever, will you be taking the 4K TV plunge, Insiders?

    Not surprising, all technologies when first introduced are high priced, but slow but surely the prices drop, especially in a recessionary period like this, people are not going to pay full price for anything, so watch the drop in prices continue this year.

      Very true…. But they will need to come down a good 50-60%. And then the content really needs to be on the market…
      But yes over time they will become more & more the everyday thing.

    Not until the content is there. That’s still some time away.

    Next tv I buy will be Ultra HD. Probably not for a couple of years though.

    As an early adopter, there are a lot of teething pains… :(

    -Forget about a screen size less than 55-inches for Ultra HD, unless its used with a computer.

    -Make sure that the HMDI port FULLY supports HDMI 2.0 or greater [many don’t!].

    -Right now, only the Sony and OPPO brand blu-ray players can noticeably scale blu-ray to Ultra HD.

    Very little native streaming content is available, and won’t be for at least 2 or 3 years, but you can bet most will be as the lock-step of economies of scale drive the prices down to ~$10. per diagonal inch.
