Consumer Electronics Association: 73% Who See 4K Want It
http://hometheaterreview.com/73-who-see-4k-want-it/
4K must be seen to be believed, it appears. Given that television is a visual medium this is no surprise, and is supported by two new studies. 73 percent of people who see 4K television want to purchase it. However, the downside is that 43 percent of people are hesitant to purchase a 4K television because of concerns about lack of content.
From BusinessWire
Three-fourths (73 percent) of online U.S. adults who saw Ultra High-Definition TV (Ultra HDTV) technology in a retail store are interested in owning the technology at some point in the future, while only 34 percent of people who did not see the technology are interested in ownership, according to research released today by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®. The two studies, Consumer Perspective on Ultra HDTV (quantitative) and Consumer Perceptions of Ultra HDTV Technology at Retail (qualitative), were conducted to gauge consumer awareness, perception, interest and purchase intent for Ultra HDTV technology.
Ultra HD is the next generation of display technology for the home, and delivers four times the resolution of today's full HDTVs, with more than eight million pixels of resolution. These displays also create more realistic and vibrant images, and include other technical improvements that enable viewers to see details in shadows and sunlit areas in the same scene.
Seeing the technology in a retail store also influences consumers' perception of the technology, according to CEA's quantitative study. Among those who have seen or heard about Ultra HD in a retail store, 73 percent view the technology as positive, compared to 45 percent who did not see or hear about the technology in a store.
CEA's qualitative study supports the notion that seeing Ultra HD technology in-person is critical for consumers to understand its benefits. In the study, consumers visited retail stores to experience Ultra HDTVs in-person and then shared their experience. Many say they went into the stores skeptical that Ultra HDTVs would be better than their current HDTVs. However, seeing the technology in-person had a significantly positive impact on their opinions of Ultra HDTV, an impact that could not have been achieved through reading a description of the technology alone.
"Ultra HDTV consumer adoption will be a case of 'seeing is believing,'" says Rhonda Daniel, senior manager, market research, CEA. "The technology offers an incredibly immersive viewing experience with superior picture quality. Experiencing the technology in person is a critical component to drive consumer interest in adopting Ultra HD as their next television."
Beyond looking to replace broken or obsolete TV sets, key findings of the study include:
• Two in five will seek to improve the picture quality (43 percent)
• A similar number will seek to increase the screen size (42 percent) of their current display
• Three in five (62 percent) of online consumers say they would be more willing to purchase an Ultra HDTV if the picture quality was so clear that it felt like they were experiencing what they were watching in person or if the picture quality was better than a movie screen
Conversely, price and availability of Ultra HD content are the top concerns regarding future Ultra HDTV purchases.
• 43 percent (two in five) online U.S. adults cite concerns with the availability of Ultra HD television programming
• 24 percent cite availability of Ultra HD movies for purchase
• 21 percent cite availability of movies for rent
• 22 percent cite the availability of Ultra HD video content through streaming service providers.
Research recently conducted by The Digital Entertainment Group (DEG), demonstrates the potential for up-converting Blu-ray Disc content to enhance the overall Ultra HD viewing experience. According to the DEG data, the advantages of watching Blu-ray movies on an Ultra HDTV are quite clear. Respondents were almost four times more likely to prefer watching Blu-ray movies on an Ultra HDTV, versus conventional (1080p) televisions.
"Ultra HDTV holds a tremendous amount of promise for the video ecosystem," says Daniel. "As prices gradually align with consumer expectations, consumer awareness grows and the availability of content continues the positive momentum it has seen so far, then Ultra HD will be the next step forward in the logical progression of television displays."
Ultra HD stood as one of the highlights of the 2014 International CES® as exciting Ultra HD product and content announcements came from Amazon, Dish, LG, Netflix, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp and Sony among others. The 2014 CES also featured conference programming and exhibits to highlight the latest advancements in the next generation of display technology, underscoring the momentum and excitement behind Ultra HD.
First launched at the 2013 CES, CEA now forecasts Ultra HDTV unit shipments will increase eightfold in 2014 to reach 485 thousand units and surpass $1 billion in revenue for the first time this year, according to CEA's semi-annual, U.S. Consumer Electronics Sales and Forecast (January 2014).
CEA's Consumer Perspective on Ultra HDTV presents the findings of a quantitative Internet survey conducted among an online national sample of 1,062 U.S. adults. Consumer Perceptions of Ultra HDTV Technology at Retail is a qualitative research report including the findings from 21 consumer in-store visits, followed by recorded, in-depth interviews. The reports were designed and formulated by CEA Market Research. Please cite any information to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®.

Amazon set to launch Prime Instant Video app for Android: 4K content coming
Amazon has confirmed that it will launch an Android app for its video streaming service soon
By Chris Martin | PC Advisor | 16 July 14
Amazon wants you to use its Prime Instant Video service, formally LoveFilm, on its Kindle Fire tablets but an Android app is on the way, we can reveal. See also: Netflix vs Amazon Prime Instant Video comparison review: What's the best streaming service?
These days there's an app for everything but if you want to watch Amazon Prime Instant Video then you're actually fairly limited. There is an app for Kindle Fire tablets, iPads, games consoles and Smart TVs.
Many users have been reaching out to Amazon and hitting forums requesting an app for Android with no avail, but we have good news on this front.
Russell Morris, marketing director at Amazon Instant Video told PC Advisor at the firm's Christmas show in central London (yes, in July) that an app for Android devices is 'imminent' although it's unclear whether it will be available across both smartphone and tablet.
The launch of an Android app for non-Kindle devices would massively increase the potential reach for the streaming service – Google announced at I/O that it has 1 billion active users. This would help it in the battle with rival services such as Netflix and BlinkBox. Not everyone has a Kindle Fire or an iPad after all.
4K content is coming
4K quality content also looks like it will launch this year with Morris confirming that there is a team working on specifically that. Amazon Studios announced that it plans to shoot all 2014 full original series, including comedies and dramas, in 4K Ultra HD.
Two of its own-brand series will launch in 2014 with a further two to arrive in the first quarter of 2015 so these may arrive in UHD. Extant starting Halle Berry is already available but isn't in 4K.
4K Display Market Worth $371.35 Billion by 2020

Message received, thanks. NTEK is doing a terrific job here.
Did their VOD service just pop up on ultraflix?
I'll ask one simple question: Does it stream 4K?
Yes. The fact that the media division leadership has their focus on content is priceless for an investor. They are doing very well in a limited amount of time.

Uh oh!! Better report that to the sec right away..
"Nanoflix" for hd only devices, "ultraflix" for Nuvola 4k streaming products?
"4K Studios, a NanoTech subsidiary, will use the NanoFlix IPTV/OTT technology to deliver the Iron Dragon TV channel on a variety of devices including Roku, SmartTVs, iOS phones and tablets, Android phones and tablets as well as desktop computers."
A "variety of devices"..
Love the ip man movies and Jackie chan stuff. Nice ntek!
Ntek doing it right.
Mmm nope. But you know that.
So when Sadler and Gibbs confirm they are the audit firm for ntek, they are lying too? Mmm hmmm.
Maybe they didn't anticipate the m&a at the time if the projections. It's business, opportunities present themselves and as a company you make decisions. Things take time, IMO ntek has been developing and maturing rapidly just coming out of r&d. I have actually been appreciating that they have been holding their tongue about what they think will happen until the events actually occur. That's how I perceive the recent silence anyway. We can nit pick every word of the letter but until the events in question are set in motion, we're just going to have to be patient and enjoy the big picture unfolding here. I would expect less communication from ntek the bigger they get.
They have no control over the completion date for the audit. It's out of ntek's hands.
its a witeless thing
15 min to go folks, a big pr big smile
Annual report is due within 90 days of fiscal year end (6/30). But you knew that, right?
Yep, should have taken screen shot of the "in stock". I'm not worried about it. Did you notice the processor got corrected?
You're better off drawing him out with wells notice rumors. Keep trying, can't hurt, right?
You could make that in the first few hours of trading at these levels..
That's awesome. Nanotech, the only device with 4k Video Support. Sweet.
So, which of ntek's many products do you suppose Ingram micro was yodeling about?
Wow.
