Mitsubishi has already thought big with its laser-based 65-inch LaserVue HDTV, but now it’s going bigger with the new 3D-Ready DLP-based lines, which start at 60 inches and include two 82-inch sets—all featuring technology for watching compatible content in three dimensions. That content is pretty scarce (i.e., non-existent) for the moment outside of some 3D computer games, though the success of new 3D movies like Monsters vs. Aliens could spur movement on the home video front.
The LaserVue is now available to the public, for a price that’s laser-focused on bleeding-edge types’ deep wallets: $6,999.
As you can probably surmise, the LaserVue uses lasers as its light source, an innovation that Mitsubishi claims offers twice the color gamut of typical HDTVs and consumes only one fourth the power plasma TVs require and one third the energy LCD sets need. Of course, the LaserVue is a 1080p HDTV and also features 120Hz refresh rates like higher-end LCDs.
Though there have been a number of demo showings of the LaserVue over the last year or two, it’s only been in recent weeks that experts like HD Guru have been able to do hands-on testing. His conclusion: “Overall the L65A90 rates in the stratosphere of top displays, specifically the Pioneer Kuro Elite plasmas, the LED backlit Samsung 950 LCDs and the 65” Panasonic Premiere TH-65VX100.”
