Mitsubishi announce that the first model in their new LaserVue line of HDTVs will be available some time in the third quarter of this year. The LaserVue name refers to the fact that the picture is produced by actual laser beams. The first model will have a 65" screen and will be followed at some point by a 73" version.
"As a result of our majority share of the world-wide high-performance red laser market, Mitsubishi has an unparalleled, acute understanding of laser technology, and the corresponding expertise to effectively engineer laser beams to function as the ultimate light engine for this premium large screen television product," said Frank DeMartin, vice president, marketing, at Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America.
He added "Several TV manufacturers have attempted to bring laser TV to market, and have failed. Making laser TV a reality represents yet another history-making milestone in a long legacy of industry firsts for Mitsubishi."
LaserVue TVs wlll also feature a 120Hz refresh rate and support for x.v.Color.
