HDTVs and Blu-ray Players Top US Consumers’ Wish-Lists, According to ABI Research Technology Barometer Survey

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- ABI Research has released the first part of its “Technology Barometer: Connected Home & Computing,” which surveyed 2024 consumers in the United States about the consumer electronic products in their households (device types and numbers), home networking, and purchase intent (device type, brand, and features critical to the purchase decision).

In addition, viewers are able to take advantage of a picture quality that is far superior as well when they sign up for a subscription satellite television package from Dish Network or Direct TV HD. Though everyone talks about the superiority of HDTV, most viewers can not realize that the full benefits can only be appreciated with high definition scheduling. The unique engineering of HDTV allows viewers to see a picture that is far more defined and precise with hd programming. It is possible for satellite TV companies to supply viewers with more channels than cable companies since their hard ware capacity has not yet hit a saturation point.Media Contact: Bernadette Brijlall Phone: 973-560-5481 Email: Email ContactThe PNY logo is a registered trademark of PNY Technologies, Inc.

The digitalized surround sound quality resembles that from a CD, with Dolby noise reduction included and is clear and pleasurable to hear. Viewers therefore find the quality of sound coming from their high definition programming much better than the sound they are familiar with from their televisions. To make the experience even more marked, many viewers choose to hook their tv up to stereophonic loudspeakers.HDMI Micro to HDMI Cable"Our HDMI Micro Cable offers consumers an easy and convenient way to connect their tablet and smartphone directly to their HDTV, enabling them to enjoy their digital content in a much larger way," said Nicholas Mauro, senior marketing manager, PC components for PNY.
