Flat screen Tv’s for Hotels

Hotels all around the Britain are having to replace the traditional television with new LCD and Plasma flat screens due to consumer pressure. Although most hotels have replaced their old tube televisions now they have failed to instigate one last step and that is to make sure that the flat screens are digital. Most of the televisions are still the old analogue type, which means that they either will have to replace them again when the nation goes digital in 2012 or they will have to consume a set top box, or sky to unable the client to continue viewing on them.

There is also another problem with flat screen televisions, unless they are of a high quality the image sometimes appears stretched and distorted, thus reducing the image resolution making the picture on the flat screen look somewhat worse than it would have appeared on the traditional tube set television. The Hotel industry is replacing their traditional televisions with flat screen televisions, because the clients usually have these in their own home, and they are simply keeping up with the trends of a modern day society. You have to consider though weather this exercise is in fact false economy, from a business point of view unless the traditional television has been replaced with a high definition digital flat screen, then yes I would say that it is definitely false economy and wasteful.

I stayed in two hotels recently the Wellnesshotel Feldberg and the Hotel Feldberg Mecklenburg, one of the hotels still had in place the old analogue tube television and the other a new flat screen high definition television. Both of the hotels were contemporary and modern, they both offered excellent facilities such as spars, saunas, swimming pool, great food and excellent accommodation. As for the televisions, yes the flat screen looked good, but in the other hotel I barely noticed that it was a traditional television, it did not affect my nights viewing of the television because of this.

The question also has to be asked as to how high a percentage of people actually have invested in a flat screen television, most people, like me keep with the television they have until it is faulty and needs replacing. If I were to replace my television it would simply be waste of one television, but to replace every television, in every hotel around the world, now that is an awful lot of waste.
