 “…there have been reported issues with 3-D causing seizures and headaches in certain segments of the population—which could be a liability issue for hotels…”
.. if 3-D becomes commonplace in the home, expect hoteliers to feel the pressure to bring it into the guestroom sooner or later.
“There needs to be content and a way for hotels to collect more for investing in these TVs,†said Anthony Fonzo, senior product marketing manager, Philips Hospitality. “The 3-D television sets are a significant additional investment for the hotelier. There are also a number of questions—will guests pay to watch 3-D, be comfortable wearing glasses and will the glasses stay in the rooms or become another item that is frequently stolen?â€
“We don’t believe 3-D will be relevant for the high majority of hotel rooms,†said Rick Albert, VP sales, hospitality, Panasonic. “TVs would have to be completely replaced and we just don’t see 3-D as enough of an incentive for a property to spend the dollars to do another compete renovation. Plus, until the cost of glasses comes down, it is far too cost-prohibitive to keep glasses in rooms and to replace them often.â€
