Mitsubishi's Laser TV's Hitting Shelves Soon: Environmentally-Friendly Yet Colorful
Mitsubishi has roadmapped the release schedule for the 65- and 73-inch LaserVue laser TV's, something we've been anticipating since they unveiled the new models at CES 2008 back in January. The 65-inch LaserVue will be the first to ship sometime in the 3rd quarter, followed soon after by the 73-inch set. What's so great about Mitsubishi's LaserVue TV's? Well, the big advantage of laser technology is that it can deliver roughly twice the color of major brand LCD and plasma sets at only half the energy cost, running at 200 Watts. They're fairly bright too, with a brightness measurement of 500 nits and also feature 120Hz refresh and x.v. Color technology. The big downside with the new LaserVue sets is that they're 10-inches thick, fat as all hell in an industry where thin is in, but not entirely surprising given Mitsubishi's DLP-based TV background. As for price, there hasn't been official word yet, but expect them to be similar to those of comparably sized LCD and plasma sets.

Very interesting news, it seems like the green fad just can't keep its hands off of anything these days. Of course the downfall of DLP sets is the size, and this set seems to fall squarely within this downfall.
I'll be interested to see a full technical review on these sets when they come out.
