Here’s a clever story we spotted the following evening:

The TV market is entering a new phase, as connected TVs hit the mainstream. According to the latest DisplaySearch Quarterly TV Design and Features Report , internet connectivity has emerged as a key feature in TVs this year.

news like this is not a shock to those fans that observe the industry.

One should stop and think about that for a moment, to manipulate momentum. Huh? Maybe this is a instructive sample of the nouveau business environment at the end of the day, especially on the topic of effectiveness.

I think the following passages are quite instructive.
“We have seen DLNA as a solution in search of a problem for a long while, but with the surge in media streaming, the technology has found its place—creating business opportunities for TV set makers, broadcasters and retailers,” said Paul Gray , Director of TV Electronics Research. “The internet video battleground will take place in the living room, with all facets of the TV supply chain trying to stake claims. As a result, the competition is creating attractive new viewing choices for consumers, which underpins the value of the TV’s network connection.”
Whether or not your skeptical about such things, it is difficult to ignore the obvious.

DisplaySearch research also covers the progress made in the development of energy efficient TVs, as well as enabling technologies such as LED backlights, which are forecast to be in over 80% of LCD TVs shipped in 2014. The report also provides an analysis of the latest energy regulations. “The 2013 California Energy Commission standard was seen as ambitious even last year; but some sets use only half the power necessary for compliance, a direct result of the shift in technology and increased design focus on energy,” Gray noted.
