S ales of Ultra HD televisions are likely to get a boost with news that Hollywood movies will soon be available on Blu-ray Disc for the super-high resolution format. The Blu-ray Disc Association announced Tuesday the completion of the Ultra HD Blu-ray specification and will begin licensing the technology this summer to makers of set-top boxes and discs. Ultra HD video, also called 4K, offers four times the resolution of today’s standard high-definition video. To view Ultra HD Blu-ray movies, consumers will need 4K televisions as well as not-yet-available Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc players. To date, Internet television services Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon.com (AMZN) have been the leading providers of 4K content with select TV shows and movies. Scalper1 News
