Quote:A total of 45 Ultra HD titles have been released on Blu-ray Disc since March — and according to Home Media Magazine market research, consumers bought more than 228,000 discs as of June 24.
By comparison, Blu-ray Disc, launched in June 2006, moved just 57,000 units in the comparable time frame.
That’s not surprising, analysts say. Industry observers expect the rapid advance of Ultra HD — the much-ballyhooed new format that not only offers viewers four times the resolution of HD, but also includes high dynamic range (HDR), which produces brilliant highlights, vibrant colors and greater contrast on compatible displays — to trigger a resurgence in overall Blu-ray Disc sales, which already are tracking up 3% for the year in units and 6% in dollars, Home Media Magazine market research numbers show.
This makes sense as people with HDR TVs want something to watch to see what they bought.
Although I bought a HDR tv, I think they're a long way from mainstream and may never catch on.
If OLED ever competes with them on price, they will lose, because even the best HDRs can't match OLED.
As long as decent HDRs carry a price premium that would allow a person to buy a larger 4k set they have an uphill battle.
As long as all delivered content is 1080p or lower they have an uphill battle.
As long as most movies are not released in HDR, they have ....well, you get it.
