Mitsubishi Laser TV Price Drops By $1,000; New Model Around The Corner?
Back in July the price for the still unique Mitsubishi Laser TV LaserVue dropped for the first time since introduction by $500. Now Amazon and other retailers offer the Mitsubishi L65A90 65-Inch LaserVue HDTV for only $5,999 cutting a cool $1,000 off the price.
The first Mitsubishi Laser TV went on sale in November of last year. Is it time for a new Laser TV generation? We did not even get the larger brother of the L65A90 yet.

Mitsubishi Laser TV drops in Price for the first Time
I am not sure what is going on with the Mitsubishi Laser TV LaserVue. Somehow it got rather quiet despite some recent manufacturing woes around the Laser TV technology. In the meantime Samsung hammers LED TV Technology into our heads and we are almost forgetting the cool Laser TV technology. Afterall Laser TVs give us twice the color, are energy efficient, 3D ready and can be housed in a thin canvas.
I was monitoring the prices on Amazon for the Mitsubishi L65A90 65-Inch LaserVue HDTV and now Amazon is selling it for $6,499 instead of the $6,999 price the unit has had since introduction last November.

Bringing laser TV to market is a significant industry accomplishment and we're very proud to be the only TV manufacturer to date that has delivered on the promise of a laser-driven TV," said Frank DeMartin, vice president, marketing, at Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America.

Laser TV becomes new HDTV Entrant
You thought plasma, LCD, OLED, DLP and CRT were all the choices you had in HDTV? Think again, man. Mitsubishi is adding a new color to the palette, in the form of a high-def TV that uses laser technology. Expect to pay a large premium, though, as always, for the increase in picture quality and environmental friendliness.
Mitsubishi's LaserVue HDTV is slated for release fairly soon, well in time for the holiday season. The difference over other high-def sets is that it uses an engine powered by laser lights, instead of standard TV lighting technology. It sounds cool, as many new fangled ideas do, but expect to pay around $7,000 to get in on the new fad.

Mitsubishi LaserVue Laser TV also comes in 73 inch Size in 2008
From time to time I check to see if Mitsubishi has updated the available information on their upcoming new Laser TV dubbed LaserVue.

We knew that Mitsubishi was planning to offer a 65 inch Diamond LaserVue TV in the 3rd Quarter of 2008. In the FAQ section of the Mitsubishi Laser TV, the company also says they plan to release a 73 inch Diamond LaserVue TV in 2008.

Mitsubishi Laser TV - what we know so far
Somehow Laser TV crossed my mind this morning and I decided to hit the web to see if there are new details or publications by Mitsubishi since their announcement of the first Laser TV at the CES 2008 in January.
The last press information from Mitsubishi about the Laser TV got published along with new images of the 65" Laser TV prototype in Japan in Mid-February. The announcement is just a repeat of what has been announced at the CES 2008. It looks like Japan is not the first release target for the Mitsubishi Laser TV, the U.S. home theaters will have the honor of adopting a Laser TV first this fall. Mitsubishi also manufactures HDTVs in the North America.

Mitsubishi Laser TV Details announced
It happened. A new category of TV has been announced. Mitsubishi just published a press-release with the details of their large-screen Laser TV.
The long awaited Mitsubishi Laser TV delivers as much as twice the color of current high-definition televisions.
Today's HDTVs display less than 40% of the color spectrum that the eye can see. Now, for the first time ever, laser produces twice the color. Laser beams provide the widest range of rich, complex colors, along with the most clarity and depth of field.

Laser TV in Action
The hot new Laser TV technology that is supposed to be the next big thing has made an appearance on TV before Christmas. I totally missed it because of the holiday shopping craziness.
Laser company Coherent demonstrated a Laser TV prototype and the footage was shown on Kron 4 a San Francisco Bay Area TV channel.
Coherent was in the news just a couple days ago, because German based lighting giant Osram licensed Laser TV technology from Coherent.
We first reported about Laser TV, when Mitsubishi said they would bring a Laser TV to the market in 2007. Then in October, Arasor, a startup that is also based in the Silicon Valley showed a Laser TV prototype in Australia.
In the video about the Coherent Laser TV the say that commercial availability is to be expected in about 18 month. If there is not a big surprise, I think 2007 will pass and no Laser TV will be on the market. But maybe there is a big Laser TV splash at the CES 2007 that will make us believe again that Laser TV will be in shops this year.

Silicon Valley Start-up Arasor on the Forefront of Laser TV Technology
We reported the first time about the Laser TV technology in April 2006, when Mitsubishi announced their Laser TV developments.
A Silicon Valley based start-up called Arasor is also developing laser TV displays. Arasor demonstrated a Laser TV with full HD resolution in Australia apparently today. See the photo (source: The Daily Telegraph).
Arasor has Australian backers. This is the reason why the start-up got exposure down-under.
Arasor claims that Laser TVs will be 30% cheaper to manufacture than comparable sized Plasma or LCD TVs. Additionally Laser TV sets are about 1/3rd lighter than other flat panel TVs and use 25% less power.
The Laser TV technology offers 90% of the color gamut, which is dramatically more than Plasma or LCD displays can deliver.

Instead of white-light mercury lamps a Laser TV uses a red, blue and green laser to generate images. The advantages are bright and deep images on large, thin, lightweight screens.
Apparently the first commercial Laser HDTV will go on sale in 2007.
Plasma and LCD technology are getting competition from new technology such as S.E.D. and Carbon Nanotube in the near future.
