I Just Want a Smart TV, not a Dumb Analysis
- mooism2 16y agoSurely there's room in the market for both? For TVs with apps, a DVD player, a Wii and a Tivo built in, and also for TVs that don't even come with a tuner?
- expathos 16y agoThe numbers and market research speak for themselves. You won't be able to even buy a TV that is not smart in five years. That's a fact. The TV manufacturers are saying it themselves. They are not stupid. They know they are going to be content power brokers in the future. They are going to democratize the content industry and allow many more people to reach consumers directly outside the traditional value chain. They are already building remotes with a Netflix button. They don't only control the screen.
- mooism2 16y agoAre these the same TV manufacturers who thought 3D TV was going to be a big hit? How much more expensive than dumb TVs will smart TVs be?
- kleinsch 16y agoAside from some delusional PMs at TV manufacturers, I don't think too many people think connected TVs are the future. More likely, it's features they can add cheaply to existing products to add more showroom bullet points.
- expathos 16y agoWell, the point is - they are going to make TVs smart whether you like it or not. The numbers and market research speak for themselves. You won't be able to even buy a TV that is not smart in five years. That's a fact. The TV manufacturers are saying it themselves. They are not stupid. They know they are going to be content power brokers in the future. And with open SDKs and APIs, they are going to democratize the content industry and allow many more people to reach consumers directly outside the traditional value chain. It's inevitable.
