“It will not take long for UHD TVs to replace HD TVs, probably 5 years or less,” the UHDA chief said. 

The group consists of 40 global TV-makers, content producers and network companies including Dolby, LG Electronics, Netflix, Panasonic and Samsung Electronics.

Market research firm IHS forecast that around 300 million UHD TVs will be shipped by 2019.
