Laser TV: The $57 Billion industry just around the corner

When I was a kid, Lasers were fictional weapons in movies like Star Wars.  The mere mention of the word to friends was grounds for ridicule. It would be analogous to someone today talking about antimatter particles.  But nowadays, it seems like Lasers are everywhere. Police scanners, DVD players, corrective eye surgery, super market checkout, concert lighting, hospitals, and even the Internet via fiber optic cable all use Lasers.  But the most revolutionary advancement, what some are calling a $57 billion a year market, is just around the corner... and it’s all thanks to Lasers.




Best possible picture quality to date



Laser TV’s have a sharper, brighter, and more colorful picture than any other TV on the market.  Current display technologies such as LED-LCD or Plasma are capable of reproducing 40% of the perceivable color gamut. Lasers can carry a thicker amount of information and are capable of reproducing 90% of the color gamut. This translates into richer, more accurate colors never seen before on screen. And unlike other display technologies, Laser TV’s don’t fade over time. This means the picture you see on day 1 is the exact same picture you’ll see 10 years from now.

Fastest response time ever

I mention response times in one of my previous posts and their importance. Since Lasers travel at the speed of light, their response times are virtually instantaneous. This means there’s less chance of motion blur, ghosting, color bleeding, image blotting, or flickr to occur; picture quirks that affect all current display technologies. There’s also no risk of image burn-in with Laser Televisions, an anomaly that has plagued plasma displays. At the same time, Laser TV’s rival the boastfully wide viewing angle of plasma’s at 160 degrees. It’s the best of both worlds, but it gets even better…

It’s cheaper and more energy efficient!

Ok, well maybe it’s not the cheapest just yet. But the technology behind it is the most affordable to manufacture so someday it will be. Keep in mind when plasma TV’s first came out they cost more than $8,000 and only offered 840x480 definition. In contrast, the 65 inch Mitsubishi Laservue offers 1,920x1080 full HD resolution and costs a modest $6,299.99 on Amazon. Laser TV’s like Mitsubishi’s Laservue also use less power than any TV currently on the market, anywhere from one half to one third the energy consumption.

Providing the best possible picture quality and the most energy efficient display to-date, Laser Television could very well be the death of LED-LCD’s and Plasma’s in a galaxy not so far away.
