Week 9 EOC: Trends in TV

The trends that are happening in television are, lower number of televisions in a single household, the increased number of smart televisions, streaming services and different methods of reviewing content. As I person that does not own a television I am happy that there are more services for me to still get my fix via streaming services and apps. “As the cost of videos screens falls, the demand for content mobility will rise exponentially. With a smart phone serving as the nerve center for the screen world, content will be able to follow a consumer from device to device, location to location” (Jeff Stier and Chris Gianutsos, Ernst & Young. "Six Trends Directing the Future of Television." Wired. Conde Nast, 17 Dec. 2013. Web. 08 Mar. 2017). With a large drop in television sales we are seeing a growth in computer sales because of the convince and versatility the computer has to offer also you can connect a projection screen to the computer and create an even larger screen for computer/ television use. “Original programming experiments by Internet streaming video providers offers a taste of the different kinds of relationships that talent will have with distribution partners. New relationship models will allow more industry players to take greater creative risks” (Jeff Stier and Chris Gianutsos, Ernst & Young. "Six Trends Directing the Future of Television." Wired. Conde Nast, 17 Dec. 2013. Web. 08 Mar. 2017). If you are one of last people to own a television than you will be looking forward to, “high Dynamic Range (HDR), Dolby Vision grows in popularity, LCD TVs migrate towards OLED, Chinese TV brands on the rise, LG to expand presence in OLED” ("Anticipated TV Trends in 2017 at the CES." Lifehack. N.p., n.d. Web. 08 Mar. 2017).   As for me I don't see myself purchasing a television anytime soon, but I will upgrade to HULU Live.
