Mitsubishi’s Laser-Based DLP HDTV

Mitsubishi has announced that there is a new breed of HDTVs on the way.  These new DLP displays use red, blue, and red

green lasers to create deep, bright images on super thin screens.  The laser-based HDTV is expected to have a very small footprint, and should be incredibly lightweight.  By using lasers rather than a lamp in these sets, a wider range of intensity in color can be achieved.  Even better, these units should consume one third of the power of a conventional HDTV.  Lastly, the lasers are expected to last the lifetime of the TV (rather than burning out like DLP lamps.) Exptected to hit retail late next year, we should at least have more information on the prototype later this week.
