Mitsubishi has released a little more detail regarding its upcoming LaserVue TV sets, that promise an astonishing twice the color of rival HDTVs while demanding only half the power. The sets, which will be available in 65-inch and 73-inch sizes, also support 3D images.
Just ten inches deep, the LaserVue displays use, as you might expect, lasers rather than current LCD or plasma technology. The benefit is segment-besting clarity and depth of field; for those technically-minded, Mitsubishi are claiming the color gamut seen in LaserVue prototypes, expressed as a percentage of B.709, has been measured at 200-percent. Additional features include Smooth 120hz and x.v.Color, while brightness is up to around 500 nits.
Operating power is expected to come in at under 200 watts, approximately half the power of an LCD TV and a third of that of a plasma. The 65-inch LaserVue Diamond screen will ship in Q3 2008, with the larger panel following later. No prices have been suggested.

I think that the laservue is an amazing addition to the hdtv industry. I believe the Mitsubishi Laservue is a true forerunner not only in because of the laser technology but also because of the 3D aspects built right into it. Gamers will love this one! I think it is reasonably and competatively priced compared to other hdtv’s this size.(65″) If you cant afford one now, then I would say save your pennies and wait a few years and you will get a good deal then. But for the rest of us who have the cash and who cant wait ,I say go ahead and get one now!.It will be the best investment in your home entertainment system you will ever make. Thanks ans Peace,
