A total of 22 million color televisions were sold in China in the first half of this year, 70 percent of which were 4K resolution ultra high definition televisions, according to statistics released at a recent industry conference, China Economic Net reported on August 2.

In the fifteenth national digital television industry conference, the China Electronics Chamber of Commerce (CECC) released a report on the domestic television market in the first six months of 2019, predicting that by the end of the year, over 80 percent of the televisions sold in China would be 4K ultra high definition televisions.

Sony, TCL, Samsung and other TV brands have all launched 8K high definition televisions this year, bringing an upgraded sensory experience to customers.

Moreover, the market for big-screen laser televisions saw fast growth, with expected annual sales of 200,000.

Thanks to the fast development of network infrastructure and the broader application of artificial intelligence technology, more smart terminals have been produced, thus altering the customer experience.

As a display terminal, televisions naturally serve as a control, storage, and interaction center in a smart home, which explains why an increasing number of TV brands are developing smart televisions as well as a smart home system.
