Display Monitors to Become Higher Resolution, Wider, and More Transparent in 2019
Growth in visual technology has been rapid, and higher-resolution screens are more accessible than ever. Experts believe this technological growth will continue, enabling visual artists and photographers to create ever-more detailed renderings.
New York, United States – January 25, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —
In just a few decades, computer and television monitor resolutions have gone from a modest 480p to 720p, to full-HD 1080p, and on to modern, super-crisp 2K screens. With such rapid progression, it would be easy to think that we’ve already reached the pinnacle of display clarity. Screens are now crisper, clearer, and more vivid than ever before, but futurists believe we’ve still got a ways to go from here.
Many experts are predicting that 2019 will see 4K resolutions become more mainstream. Up until now, 4K has been a bit of a novelty. Many consumers feel that there is little to no need for these levels of clarity, but this may change as 4K screens become more affordable.
Studies have shown that higher-resolution 4K screens actually come with a range of benefits. The increased richness of colour and clarity can help to minimize eye strain. This stands to benefit offices concerned about employee well-being, and the demand for these screens could cause prices to drop as manufacturers engage in a race to the bottom. Indeed, big-name manufacturers like Samsung have already released plans for new, ultra-wide, ultra-high-resolution models for 2019.
But higher resolution isn’t the only trend expected to hit the monitor market in 2019. Other predicted trends include wider screens, curvier edges, and even transparent screens. The latter of these might seem like something from a sci-fi movie, but the technology has actually been around for a number of years, albeit restricted mostly to consumer electronics shows.
In 2019, transparent screens may start being used increasingly in places like airports and conference rooms, both for their ‘wow’ factor and ability to display information on only one side.
Two groups that stand to benefit the most from these changes are gamers and visual professionals like photographers, videographers, and graphic designers. Gamers can utilize the rich displays to enjoy a more immersive gameplay experience, while visual artists can benefit from being able to apply a closer level of detail to any visual edits or renderings they do in the course of their work.
