SCOTTSDALE, AZ – HDMI-enabled mobile PC shipments will surpass 300 million units in 2014, according to In-Stat.
“Its small size is a better fit for size-conscious mobile PC OEMs,” says Brian O’Rourke, research director. “In addition, HDMI’s popularity across the CE segment makes HDMI a popular choice, especially for consumer mobile PCs. Dell, Sony, HP, Acer, and Toshiba all feature HDMI in their consumer notebook lines. Netbooks are adopting HDMI as well, particularly higher-end devices that are marketed as media devices, so that they can connect to an HDTV.”
Embedded DisplayPort will have a 35% attach rate in mobile PCs in 2013, says the firm. Plus, 117 million LCD PC monitors will ship with DVI this year. HDMI will have an 82% rate in A/V receivers in 2012, and more than 19 million HDMI-enabled digital camcorders will ship in 2014.
