Is that a problem? A first-world problem for sure. If you had been counting on it, consider that about 20 years after the first introduction of High Definition Television (HDTV), still a lot of broadcasting takes place in Standard Definition (SD). So at what point should we expect all, or at least a majority of broadcasts, to be in 4K? Probably never.

TV manufacturers will not abandon 4K to return to HD, like they did with 3D TV, reverting to 2D. This is imaginable, but unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future. 4K TV for sure is here to stay for a while, and will only go away if displaced by 8K TV, or if consumers stop buying TV sets altogether (and switch to mobile displays instead).
So has the 4K TV revolution succeeded? That depends whom you ask. TV makers have pushed this shift to higher resolutions as a way to combat price erosion which threatened to destroy already slim margins. This relative success of 4K TVs in the market seems to prove that chicken-and-egg-situations of content and hardware supporting each other don't always preclude market development. Since 4K TVs first became available about 6 years ago, they have steadily nibbled away at HD TVs dominance – first at very large screen sizes, gradually working their way down to all but the smallest screen diameters. Most brands have few if any models left in their range. It's almost remarkable HD still has such a relatively high share as HD TVs are becoming scarce on store shelves. By now, more than 50% of all units sold are 4K TVs, and their value share is even greater. 5.If you've bought a TV in recent years, there's a fair chance it was a 4K TV. 1, with 20th Century Fox’s Masterminds at No. 1 now that its 28-day holdback from Redbox is over, with Doctor Strange entering the chart at No. On Home Media Magazine’s rental chart for the week, Trolls shot up to No. Jackie generated 38% of its total unit sales from Blu-ray Disc.
