A Parks Associates report finds that makers of smart TVs and streaming media players (SMPs) are shifting strategies to focus on the user experience (UX) as device sales start to flatten out.

According to Parks Associates’ Market Snapshot – Smart TVs & the User Experience, 45 per cent of US broadband households have a smart TV, which is now the most commonly used platform among US broadband households for accessing online video content.

“Parks Associates’ holiday data find 11 per cent of US broadband households have a strong intention to purchase a 4K TV this holiday season, but overall, device sales of flat-panel TVs have flattened out,” said Jennifer Kent, Director, Research Quality & Product Development, Parks Associates. “As a result, we are seeing new partnerships among device manufacturers focused on ways to improve or refresh the UI of the smart TV, to make the device easy to use and a single point of content in the living room.”
