I don't believe that will be the case. A lot more people have large screens these days, and UHD makes for a better viewing experience. Given the demand, the change to UHD will come, but the expense of conversion means that we have to wait for the studios and broadcasters to catch up.

The best comparison with 3D is VR! Virtual reality is causing excitement in some quarters, but it won't catch on. There will be an initial flurry and then, like 3D, it will fizzle out.Anything like this requiring glasses will suffer the same fate.

8k is unlikely to take off as so few will have TV screens so big as for this to make an appreciable difference.

The next big thing? My bet is on holographic TV. There I go, putting my neck on the line again!
