Display market analyst firm PMA Research just published their most recent Retail Tracking report, which showed that 1080p and 4K UHD home theater projector sales rose sharply in July 2019 – even with an uptick in ASPs. 4K UHD volume was nearly 3X last July thanks to a double-digit decline in the weighted average selling prices.
