Week Nine EOC: Trends in Tv

There are many major different trends that are happening right now but for this post I am going to focus on 3. The first one being content mobility. It is now being shown that many houses are losing actual TVs and using mobile devices insteads. Mobile devices would include things such as cell phone, laptops, and tablets. "With a smartphone serving as the nerve center for the screen world, content will be able to follow a consumer from device to device, location to location" https://www.wired.com/insights/2013/12/six-trends-directing-future-television/. This is becoming a huge trend because people love being able to watch tv where ever and whenever. The next trend is High Dynamic Range. "Ultra-high definition TVs moved into the mainstream in 2016. All but the least expensive larger-screen sets had 4K resolution, another term for UHD. And you didn't have to pay much more for it. In 2017, we think high dynamic range (HDR) will be the biggest buzzword, though it may be tough for consumers to understand exactly what they're getting." http://www.consumerreports.org/consumer-electronics-show/top-5-tv-trends-we-expect-at-ces-2017/. TVs are starting to become even more HD. Meaning that although your TV right now may have amazing resolution chances are they are going to start making TVs with even better resolution. And last the last trend will no longer be 3-D TVs. Which seemed like a great idea was actually not and unfortunately they made no money on the TVs. So while 3-D TVs might be dead, curved TV is not. " In early 2016 Samsung basically killed off 3D TV by removing the feature entirely from all of its TVs. But the company has kept curved TVs afloat" https://www.cnet.com/news/ces-2017-expected-tv-trends/. Although the year had just begun and by the end the trends could be completely different. These are a few of the trends that are happening right now.
