For many people, linear television ceased to exist years ago. This does not mean that the receivers have disappeared from our homes. On the contrary, in the era of the development of utility technology, these devices develop at an unprecedented pace. The coronavirus pandemic is not without significance, which to some extent forced us to stay at home more often. As we spend more and more time in our apartments, the natural consequence seems to be the growing interest in televisions. Today, these offer intelligent functions that make them real internet terminals for services that we use on computers, tablets, smartphones and even watches. Thanks to the survey conducted for TP Vision, we learn what are the most important trends in the smart TV industry for 2021 year.

Artificial intelligence, natural image, cooperation with smartphones and built-in audio systems – These are the most important trends in the smart TV segment, which will dictate the development of the industry in 2021.

According to PanelWizard Direct research commissioned by TP Vision, the owner of the Philips TV & Sounds brand, one of the leading TV manufacturers in Poland, close to 74% of the inhabitants of our country consider modern technologies to be very important features of the TV set. WiFi, an increasing amount of RAM and operating systems that allow the installation of additional software, make users expect producers to develop new functions, including video game streaming, for which consoles would no longer be needed. At least to a limited extent. Cooperation with smartphones is also not without significance, which was noted by 63% of the respondents. The ability to control the TV via the telephone is therefore as desirable as the option to transfer photos to the screens.

artificial intelligence cares today. Neural networks and machine learning analyze video frame by frame, choosing the optimal settings for a given scene. Ultimately, the picture is to be close to reality and this is the direction that producers will be moving in 2021 and in the following years. Sound is also important, and as many as 87% of respondents attach importance to it. As it is easy to guess, this issue is another priority direction in the development of the smart TV segment. The study was carried out on a representative group 1027 of people aged from 18 to 75 years of age.
