Laser TV Release Date
When can I buy a Laser TV?
Laser TV will be making its North American debut in the Fall of 2008 under the line of Mitsubishi televisions as LaserVue. Mitsubishi recently unveiled its prototype Laser TV at the 2008 CES and the rumors are it will go on sale in time for Black Friday in November. Demo models may be appearing this summer.
Where can I buy a Laser TV?
Mitsubishi’s large screen Laser TV will initially be available only at yet to be announced “high-end” retailers, so don’t expect to see a Laser TV at your local retailer until sometime in 2009.
How much will a Laser TV cost?
Prices have not been announced by Mitsubishi, but it appears the high-end market will be the initial target audience. However, prices are still expected to be competitive with flat panel displays, so expect the initial models to see for about $5,000. Laser TVs may eventually cost less to produce than plasma and LCD models, as the manufacturing costs of laser components are reduced. Laser engine developer Novalux stated a 50-inch Laser TV could eventually sell for less than $1,000!
Laser-TV.org will keep you posted as more information becomes available.

I can’t wait for the release of a next-gen TV. OLED TVs still aren’t ready for proper retail sale. SED TVs have apparently have fallen by the wayside.

I am planning on buying a Mitsubishi’s WD 73833 which is “3D ready” but if a 73″ LASERVUE will be available by Christmas and will also be “3D ready” I will wait. Is there any way I can find out please ?

John, LaserVue will be delivered to Mitsubishi Diamond retailers in the third quarter of 2008. Mitsubishi will introduce 63-inch and 73-inch screen sizes, with the 73-inch version available later this year around Christmas. All LaserVue DLPs will be 3D ready.

Norman, I don’t personally know, but I did find this puzzling statement: “However, a Mitsubishi Electric Australia spokesperson said not even the LaserVue was due to arrive in Australia, due to the company’s exit from the consumer television market.”
