In 2020, almost all televisions sold in the world will be compatible with HDR

However, only 30% will have true high dynamic range performance capabilities.

According to a study by IHS Markit, during 2016 more than 4 million HDR-compatible televisions will be sold, increasing this figure to 30 million units in 2020. For that year, IHS expects that almost all 4K televisions sold worldwide will have HDR capabilities, although it notes that only 30% will have true high dynamic range performance capabilities.

La demanda mundial de televisores 4K sigue creciendo a pesar de que las ventas totales se reducirán ligeramente en este año 2016. Frente a la continua bajada de los precios de televisores de alta gama en 4K, los fabricantes y minoritas ven en el HDR una excelente oportunidad para lograr un nuevo impulso a su negocio.

Paul Gagnon, director de investigación en el área de televisores en IHS, asegura que “en el caso de HDR, sólo algunas unidades mejoran el rendimiento de visualización que beneficiaría al consumidor, mientras que el resto tendrá poca diferencia discernible para los consumidores”.

The 4K TV market is growing rapidly from 55 million units in 2016 to more than 100 million units in 2019, reaching 100 percent of sales at 50 inches and larger in 2019. As was once the case with HD or now with 4K, HDR will initially be offered on larger screen sizes, where the additional costs are supported by the larger premiums. More than 80 percent of HDR television sales will come from screens larger than 50 inches.
