A small comment on the HDR Television demand, and US leading.
- Most Populous countries:
China 1.3B
India 1.3B
US: 326M
Indonesia: 260M
Pakistan: 209M
Brazil: 208M
Of the Top 6, US population is the richest, this is why de demand is higher in the US. The demand is high in China, and India, but new technology is expensive.
Brazil LOVES tv, but it is still expensive down here, usually double the price from the US, and buying power of Brazilians is much smaller.
IMHO this is why. (probably).
