Over the past few years, how video content is watched has evolved, and this change has led to making 4K/HDR content the norm. Video content has progressed from content led by movie companies and TV stations to those offered by subscription and streaming services. At the same time, the format has shifted from conventional disc media such as Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray to streaming and subscriptions. Furthermore, 8K video content is expected to increase with the launches of 8K streaming services like YouTube™ and the release of 8K-compatible game titles with the development of enhanced graphic cards in the gaming industry. In addition to a variety of ways to enjoy video content, viewing style has also changed from conventional TVs to smartphones, tablets, etc. At the same time, more and more users want to cut out the middleman and bring the theater experience into their own homes.
