Consumer uptake will come relatively quickly, because average selling prices of existing 4K sets have dropped a great deal and will drop much further. Adding to consumer interest, content creators are already getting on board and will roll out 4K content much faster than they did standard HD content.

The first wave of 4K content will come from streaming services: Netflix, Amazon Instant, YouTube, etc. These Internet video providers can instantly get 4K-quality video to end users without having to make significant investments in new infrastructure.
