– it will still be about ten years for that type of equipment is present widely in homes, but according to the analyst predicted today Morrod Thomas, of British consultancy IHS Global, its end is currently unclear although the process is slow.

help TVs this year that are launching brands like Sony, Samsung and Sharp to reach about U.S. $ 20 000 and do not get the $ 5000, but the quality of the image and the gradual decline in these figures do trust that people will support the advance.

MIP TV market TV, which since Monday and tomorrow gathers distributors, producers and other industry experts, several panels have focused exclusively on analyzing their potential, and to demonstrate that visual experience compensates spending.

German company, which has brought the MIP TV in its range of 3D documentaries, recognizes that the future lies in the 4K, but not for dead earlier if the industry learns from its mistakes and provides free vision glasses.
