Pacific Media Associates, experts on large-screen display markets, released preliminary findings from its annual North American Reseller Survey now underway and open to resellers. The analysts say the percentage of meeting and conference rooms with large LCD or plasma panel displays is expected to double from 2005 to 2007. Front projectors will continue to dominate installations for these applications, owning more than a two-thirds share.
"The hospitality market continues to be the focus of intense interest within the industry," according to Dr. William Coggshall, founder and president of Pacific Media. "Although in-room viewing for hotel guests is clearly the largest portion of the hospitality market, we were very surprised by initial survey results indicating strong sales for use in meeting room and conference facilities."
On the consumer side, early indications show that the number of HDTVs and front projectors connected to Media Center PCs could triple from 2005 to 2007. This has big implications for both the kind of products that will be demanded and the kind of expertise that will be needed by installers in the very near future.
The survey gathers information from dealers on a wide range of subjects covering both the professional and consumer markets. For example, early results indicate that buyers are willing to spend more for a 42-inch LCD HDTV than for a 42-inch plasma HDTV.
