LaserVue
As the first-ever laser-powered television, LaserVue will deliver a range of color never before seen in home entertainment, which Mitsubishi is calling “a true dimension experience.” Precise and focused, the purity of laser light surpasses current high-definition technologies. Today’s HDTVs display less than 40—percent of the color spectrum than 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.

Mitsubishi LaserVue TVs are expected to provide the ultimate in picture quality, according to the company. As well, they are environmentally friendly, consumer approximately one-half the power of today’s LCD TVs, and approximately one-third the power consumption of plasma TVs.

“Mitsubishi has created a new category in television with laser technology and now we are creating an exciting new brand, LaserVue, which we believe consumers come to equate with the industry’s best performing televisions,” says DeMartin.

In a “shoot-out” between a Pioneer Elite 1080p 50-in. plasma HDTV and a 52-in. Sharp Aquos 52-in 1080p LCD HDTV, the image quality of the Mitsubishi LaserVue looked impressive to this reviewer. The colors were deep and rich with amazing reds and blacks as compared to competitive plasma and LCD 1080p panels. Contrast and clarity were among the best that this reviewer has seen in a long, long time.

Mitsubish will ship LaserVue televisions in the 3rd quarter of 2008. Screen sizes and prices will be announced at a later date.
