Television Next In Line For Industry-Wide Shakeup?

Posted by Soulskill on from the making-the-idiot-box-relevant-again dept.

New submitter pjlehtim writes "In a recent interview. Samsung's AV product manager, Chris Moseley, said, 'TVs are ultimately about picture quality. ... and there is no way that anyone, new or old, can come along this year or next year and beat us on picture quality.' Sounds familiar? There must be a change in the perceived role of television in the entertainment ecosystem before the general public starts to care about the smart TVs manufacturers are trying to push. That change is likely to come from outside the traditional home entertainment industry. It's not about technology; it is about user experience, again."

    My mom can't operate a modern TV. [..] The revolution will be the people who make some kind of master overlay and master remote

    The television will not be revolutionised, brother.

    DLNA is supposed to do some of that (press mute on the DVD remote and in theory it mutes whatever is making sounds, whether it's the TV or a receiver or a soundbar, assuming that device speaks DLNA as well),

    this would be a killer feature if my neighbour's dog spoke DLNA
