![]() ![]() Streaming is also a far cheaper option than Blu-Ray.Ī 4K streaming option comes out to about US$10 per month with which the user can watch as many movies, TV shows, documentaries, and animated shows as they like. With Blu-Ray, one has to be at home with the facility to consume the media. All they need is a TV, laptop, or smartphone. For one, a person can see his or her favorite films and shows anywhere at any time through a streaming service. The increasing dominance of streaming over Blu-Ray is due to several inherent advantages of the technology. Global sales of DVDs, Blu-Ray, and UltraHD Blu-Ray discs have fallen by 48 percent since 2014. Satellite platforms were ranked second with US$100 billion in annual revenues. Cable, with 556 million subscribers, came first with US$118 billion. Streaming services were ranked third in terms of revenue, netting US$40 billion annually. “Global physical sales, which includes DVD, Blu-Ray, and UltraHD Blu-Ray, came in at $13.1 billion in 2018… The figure is down 48 percent since 2014, when sales were $25.2 billion… Subscriptions to services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime went up by 27 percent to 613.3 million,” according to Digital Trends. According to a report by the Motion Pictures Association of America (MPAA), people have been moving away from disc-based entertainment to streaming options over the past few years. The rise of streaming services may also have played a big role in Samsung’s decision. Instead, Dolby Vision, backed by Sony and Apple, is becoming the preferred format of movies and TV shows. However, HDR10+ has not caught on as expected. ![]()
