I was waiting for these tv’s for a year now and 65″ screen is way too big fo me….48-50″ would have been perfect. I hope they come out with a smaller version soon because I don’t think I can wait any longer. I want to start watching HD now.

Physical attributes & colour output aside, it may well be its eco-friendlierness (if that’s a word) compared to LCDs and plasma that could give laser TVs the advantage in the end. Plasma consumes more power than LCDs & laser TVs, and LCDs are manufactured using nitrogen triflouride which apparently has a global-warming effect 17,000 times worse than CO2s.

I don’t even see how the Engadget article can be considered a review. They just go over the televisions specs and general impressions based off looking at the televisions for a short period of time. Sounds to me like more of a peview than an actual review. But, I guess we should be happy to hear any info/impressions we can get seeing as how Mitsubishi seems to be keeping tight lipped about things at the moment.

Anyway, at this point I couldn’t care less about the specs of the television. By now we all know that the picture is going to look amazing in comparison to current LCD and Plasma models available right now. What I (and I would guess the rest of you) would like to know is how much it is actually going to cost. The fact that they are still dancing around the issue of the actual price is starting to scare me. I’ve been holding back on buying a new television for quite some time now waiting for the release of the Laservue and now I am starting to question whether or not I will be able to afford the damn thing when it comes out.

Looking at the pictures I don’t find the thinkness to be that bad. But perhaps that is because I am comparing it to the monster one I currnetly have (approx 6 years old).

I’ll be happy when this is finally on the market. Then we can see for ourselves and we’ll know second generation (and smaller?) sets are on the way.

My theory Mitsubishi will launch Laser TV a few days before Olympics.

I am underwhelmed at this point. What good is a new type of 65″ TV if it’s going to be similarly priced to a plamsa but be six or seven inches thicker? To justify that it would need to have a significantly better picture; but nobody is really saying that. They’re saying in side-by-side comparisons there isn’t much difference accept for color accuracy, and even then it may not be an attractive difference! Yes, rear-projection is just about done, but the Samsung LED DLP’s are quite nice, and for $2,000 you can get 67″ of TV.

Hmmmmm. I was hoping for a more overly positive review. I suppose it’s just the first review and not an indepth one. Guess there is still time.

Since the thickness of the units are potentially such a sticking point for so many people, I’m surprised that none of the photos are from the side to give us an idea of what to expect, since speculation is that it will be 10″ thick, which is similar to a DLP. Current DLP’s are really UGLY! from the side. I hope that they manufacturers chose to use a full boxed cabinet (my old current circa 2000 projection TV with a 3:4 format has a full box cabinet)in lieu of the slanted back. A full box cabinet is really nice because something can actually be set on top of it - like a center speaker for instance - and looks more like a piece of furniture. Current DLP cabinets make this impossible.
