Laser TV

As Laser TV inches closer to market, let’s take a moment to consider what we know. Mitsubishi, announcing at a press conference on April 4, 2008, will be selling a laser based TV under the brand name LaserVue.  Initial models will be arriving at select dealers this summer and will go on sale by Fall of 2008 (3Q 2008).

Screen sizes and prices will be determined and announced at a later date. Mitsubishi’s LaserVue site has not been updated in several months, so hopefully new information will be posted in the coming months.

First Hand Review:

“The Mitsubishi LaserVue looked quite impressive to this reviewer. The colors were deep and rich with amazing reds and blacks as compared to competitive plasma and LCD 1080p panels. Contrast and clarity were among the best that this reviewer has seen in a long, long time. Surprisingly, it appeared that the depth of the LaserVue HDTVs appeared to be about 10-inches deep, and could easily be placed on the wall.” - Dennis Barker, Digital TV Designline

Laser TV is the next generation television display. Laser TVs employ a laser light engine as the light source - a compact trio of red, green, and blue lasers. Laser light is capable of reproducing up to 90% of the visible color spectrum, twice what the current HDTV market can offer. Laser TVs capitalize on the unparalleled qualities of laser light; which is capable of producing a brighter, sharper and more colorful image than current LCD and PDP models. Manufacturers are also claiming Laser TVs will cost less and use less energy than current technologies.
