Higher resolution and Internet capabilities will be essential for continued TV market growth
( 01 Sep 2008 )
|
The TV market continues to boom in 2008, driven by falling TV prices, the DTV transition and the demand for higher resolution. “The growth of the market will peak between 2009 and 2011. Thereafter, growth will be limited without the development of new, enhanced features for TVs, such as higher resolutions, expanded broadband infrastructure, internet connectivity, versatile applications and interactive capabilities to meet the needs of the connected digital home of the future where PC and TV are synonymous,” noted Calvin Hsieh, DisplaySearch’s Director of Research.
While the industry has been talking about the digital home for many years, it will finally take the first step this year with the transition to digital signal broadcasting – opening the doors for new applications such as IPTV broadcasting, home broadband platforms and more.
Key IC suppliers have already developed their 2009 Ethernet support roadmaps to provide TVs with Internet access. This feature, combined with high resolution and a broadband environment, will drive availability of even more content from the internet versus conventional broadcasting through a tuner.
