4k TV Sales Blast Off! In Canada, Future Shop and Best Buy report that 4K was responsible for about 40 per cent of TV purchases during recent Black Friday and September sales.
Streaming company Netflix, which is ramping up its 4K content, estimates the higher-resolution TVs are already in 10 per cent of U.S. households.
That figure is likely to reach 30 per cent next year and potentially surpass 50 per cent in 2016, says Netflix spokesman Cliff Edwards.
“You’re not looking at mass adoption, but they’re going to be much more into the mainstream,” he says.
