New Study Explores Projector Use For Home Entertainment
Prompted by the growing use of projectors at home and the improving quality of projectors being produced for the home theater market, TFC Info has conducted a sophisticated end user home entertainment projection study.

With higher gas and oil prices, rising costs for goods, and a slowed economy, more people are retreating back into their homes where they are spending more time watching movies or playing games together as a family.

Over the past few years' investments in home cinemas have been a big trend and this trend is still continuing today. "Clearly there is a lot of business potential in this market and home entertainment projection demand will continue to grow," states Tanya Lippke, manager of TFC Info survey market research. "Especially as prices decline and manufacturers have the opportunity to attract a larger portion of the market to fuller featured projectors as they gain more mass market appeal."

TFC Info's Latest Flat Panel End User Study Reveals Pent Up Demand
TFC Info, the worldwide leader in AV market research, recently completed a flat panel end user survey that analyzes perceptions and preferences for LCD and plasma displays.

TFC Info found that price is not as significant as many believe and that there are other major factors driving LCD dominance currently. TFC Info discovered that customer perceptions are major factors in determining whether to purchase LCD or plasma displays. Interestingly some of these perceptions are outdated and pertain to issues that have already been addressed by manufacturers, but manufacturers have not yet been able to change customer perceptions. "These issues are different between professional and consumer buyers," stated Tanya Lippke, TFC Info Manager of Survey Market Research. "That is why it was so important that we looked at and dissected both current and future purchasers of flat panel displays for professional and consumer market segments. This allowed us to analyze some complex angles that will help our customers to address these problems."
