Five years after the introduction of high-definition television, consumer acceptance has failed to live up to the industry's hopes.

Consumers and Television

 

We have come to a conclusion that people are very satisfied with the television that is available now, and satisfied with today's technology when it comes to television. Almost everyone in the world has a television show they love and a lot of them sit in front of the TV when they are bored. We have had 3D movie theatres for a long time but business in those theatres is far below expectations, giving us the conclusion that people like movies as they are presently. The reasons DVD players have surpassed video cassettes are because of not the better quality but the simplicity and better quality in one.
