Ultra HD is the next generation of display technology for the home and delivers four times the resolution of today’s full High-Definition TVs, with more than eight million pixels of resolution. Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Toshiba, Sharp and Hisense are a few of the manufacturers who will be showcasing this technology. Ultra HD was launched at the 2013 International CES and CEA forecasts Ultra HD unit shipments to increase eightfold to reach 450,000 in 2014.
The 2014 CES will discuss bringing UltraHD to market through its conference programming. CEA will produce “Ultra HD Content: What Will We Watch in 2014 and Beyond?” on January 7, 2014. “Seeing is Believing – 3D, 4K and UHD,” will take place on January 9, 2014 and will be produced by the International 3D and Advanced Imaging Society, an official CES conference partner.
Karen Chupka, senior vice president, International CES and corporate business strategy, CEA, comments: “The Ultra HD market is on the rise with increased technology, content and consumer accessibility. With more sets and content in the market, we’re eager to see the ground-breaking Ultra HD technologies across the 2014 CES show floor. Our show helped drive market adoption of major home video entertainment technologies including High Definition Television, OLED and Smart TVs. We are proud to continue this tradition as we shine the bright CES spotlight on the next great breakthrough in consumer video technology – Ultra HD.”
The 2014 CES will feature 20 market-specific TechZones highlighting innovation across 15 different product categories.
