Laser TV

If $7,000 for a television was a barrier, but $6000 $5000 $6500 (check below) is not, Amazon.com has a deal for you. Mitsubishi’s stunning L65A90 65-Inch LaserVue Rear Projection HDTV is now at the lowest retail price ever. The LaserVue is 3D-ready, wall mountable, and is amazingly energy efficient – consuming about as much energy as a 100-watt light bulb. The future looks bright and 3D!

It’s all about efficiency. Consuming about 100 watts of power, Mitsubishi’s LaserVue laser tv is a visual marvel and a class-leader in big screen energy efficiency. Mitsubishi is wise to tout the LaserVue’s low power consumption, as the FTC is currently investigating the expansion of the EnergyGuide label to cover televisions, which are one of the largest energy users within a home. All major home appliances must meet the Appliance Standards Program set by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Manufacturers must use standard test procedures developed by the DOE to prove the energy use and efficiency of their products. Test results are printed on yellow EnergyGuide labels, which manufacturers are required to display on many appliances. This label estimates how much energy the appliance uses, etc.

On a separate front, Sumitomo Electric has apparently cracked the impossibility of developing a laser diode emitting in the pure-green region at 531nm. They have developed the first “true” green laser diode. Until now, creating a green beam of laser light involved doubling the frequency of an infared laser, which resulted in very poor efficiency. Many predict energy efficient blue, red and green laser diodes will revolutionize the display world, and laser tv may be the first step in this direction.

What consumes about as much energy as a 100-watt light bulb and provides almost a limitless amount of viewing pleasure?  The answer can be seen below.

Mitsubishi’s world’s first 65-inch Lasevue laser tv is 3D ready and feaures wide viewing angles, 120-Hz refresh rate, conversion of lower resolution signals to 1080p and x.v. Color.
