The Increasing Popularity Of 4K Monitors

The basic reason for any new invention or development should be to increase the benefit or to cater to a demand of the consumers. But this is not always the case. The manufacturing units of many companies have gotten so tangled up in the completion that they face, that in order to push their product further in the market, they keep coming with newer features and products which may or may not have any added utility for the consumers. There are many experts who feel that the invention of 4K monitors was driven by this competitive force and not by the needs of the consumers.

The Problem With These New Monitors

The problem with these new monitors is that they are just not suitable for normal consumers. There is a very limited market for huge screen TVs and these monitors are suitable for just those TVs. Their utility in the small screen TVs is not much. In fact, as the size of the screen reduces, the use of 4K monitors hardly makes any difference to the picture quality and may in some cases actually diminish the sharpness of the images. Since the television market is dominated by these small screen TVs, therefore, it is hard to believe that these monitors were invented for the public.

Easy Marketing

In spite of the fact that these monitors do not really do any value addition to most of the television sets available in the market, yet their popularity seems to be increasing day by day. This is due to the easy and effecting marketing of these monitors. Thanks to all the smartphones and HD screens and cameras present in the market, the general public is quite aware of the importance of pixels in getting a better image display. However, the display quality is dependent on many other factors as well about which people are not aware of.

Therefore, when people are told that the pixel count in these 4K monitors is 8 times higher than the pixel count in an HD monitor, they instantly believe it to be a good product and a must have without even taking the pain to know the other intricacies involved in the usage of these monitors. This ignorance of the consumers has led to an increased demand for these monitors.

Everyone wants to own the best and latest gadgets present in the market without really understanding the minor points of them which actually affect its performance. It is necessary to be aware of the all the facts about a product before actually buying it.
