The Top Ten Predictions for HDTV in 2008
Sunday, September 30th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
TV industry observer Phillip Swann posted his top ten predictions for HDTV in 2008 at TVPredictions on Monday.
Among the significant predictions were:
HDTV prices will stabilize as 720p and 1080i HDTVs start to disappear and 1080p HDTVs assume a dominant position.
The Digital TV Converter box which is intended to ease the transition after the analog cutoff date in February 2009 will have delivery problems as well as become a political football.
DirecTV will put enormous pressure on the competition with its 100 HD channel lineup
Some broadcasters will shortcut technologies, stretch SD pictures, and consumers will have a hard time determining that they’re getting a true HD signal. In spite of that, some savvy networks will target HDTV customers with quality HD content with a big payoff.
Finally, among the notable predictions is that new technologies and consumer apathy will force an end to the HD DVD/Blu-ray war in 2008.
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has estimated that 36 percent of U.S. households will have at least one HDTV by the end of 2007.
