customers are coming to regard 4K HDR as a standard, and in time some will also expect 8K – although I suspect the difference between the two is such that the industry could be subject to the law of diminishing returns, and that ultimately it might be better to focus on further improvements to 4K.
It’s probable that supply chain problems will mean that the overall shift from HD to 4K is slower than might otherwise have been the case. Incidentally, this is not so unusual when you consider that when HD was initially launched, some people thought the transition from SD would only take a few years! In fact, there are still some stations in parts of the world that are continuing to use SD. So, these sorts of changes can be more protracted than you might think, but it’s clear that 4K is going to be increasingly commonplace and that shouldn’t be overlooked.

4. Keeping sight of longer-term design trends is still important. Despite these challenges that will be with us for some time yet, it’s vital not to lose focus on the
longer-term developments affecting display design. Arguably the most significant of these is that resolution will remain key to moving forward. More and more
5. We must always be prepared for the unexpected. It shouldn’t take much convincing to accept that the world is considerably more unstable and uncertain than it was even five years ago. Geopolitical power structures are shifting,
and the unthinkable must be contemplated; for instance, how many of us would have predicted another war in Europe a few years ago? With fears of the impact that future instability in Taiwan could have on the production of semi-conductors, in particular, we are all facing a deeply uncertain decade that is bound to have an impact on businesses and production processes worldwide.
From our internal conversations and those with our partners, it’s clear that – for want of a better term – ‘external factors’ are now playing a much increased role in multiple aspects of business development and planning. Indeed, some companies are now finding that they have to think about contingencies for issues that they never expected would be necessary. If all of this seems daunting at times, then that’s perfectly acceptable – it does mean plenty of new pressures, and all at the same time! But with a level head and a pragmatic approach, it is possible to plot a future about which one can feel more confident and comfortable.
