Mitsubishi LaserVue TV - sharpest image, lowest energy consumption

Mitsubishi America has just announced the retail availability of the world’s first laser-based television. Frank DeMartin, vice president marketing, at Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America: “With operating power at approximately 135w, LaserVue is environmentally friendly, consuming approximately one-third the power of today’s LCD TVs, and one-fourth of plasma TVs. Living in today’s green-conscious environment, consumers can enjoy this color-brilliant, ground-breaking home entertainment product while being mindful of energy consumption at the same time.”

Also from the press release: “LaserVue’s technology is unparalleled; laser beams provide an extensive range of rich, complex colors, along with truly distinct clarity and immersive depth of field. Precise and focused, the purity of laser light far surpasses current high-definition technologies. LaserVue has demonstrated a reproduction of color gamut in excess of 200 percent of BT.709, delivering two times the color of many of today’s HDTVs. Brightness has been demonstrated at approximately 500 nits. Additional features for LaserVue include Smooth 120Hz(TM), x.v. Color(TM) and 1080p with an Ultra Thin Frame. LaserVue is also equipped with 3D-ready (3) viewing capabilities, demonstrating Mitsubishi’s foray into bringing a true “Hollywood” entertainment experience to the consumer. At 10 inches thin, LaserVue TV has been designed for both floor stand and wall-mount applications and features a full stereo range of sound capabilities with integrated speakers.”

The other ‘green’ issue with this state-of-the-art home entertainment toy is the price, $6,999, which will require a serious ‘redistribution of wealth’ before it becomes a practical option for most consumers. The fact that this uber-tv saves energy is mitigated by the reality that it will probably take over a decade for this TV to pay for itself on energy savings alone. Coming soon to a high-end electronics store near you.
