| Mitsubishi today announced the world premiere of their LaserTV during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. |
The LaserTV delivers as much as twice the color of current HDTVs.
Today’s HDTVs display less than 40% of the color spectrum that the eye can see. Now, for the 1st 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 has delivered significant technology innovations in the large-format television arena, and the debut of LaserTV further strengthens our position and track record for HDTV leadership,” said Frank DeMartin, vice president, marketing, at Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. “LaserTV technology creates a portal to an intensely real and vivid world – beyond ordinary flat TV. It’s a true dimension experience.”
A New Dimension in Home Theater: LaserTV & 3D
Mitsubishi LaserTVs not only provide the ultimate picture quality, they are also capable of delivering a true 3D viewing experience, demonstrating the company’s continued commitment to set the standard for entertainment viewing by partnering with Hollywood on next-generation entertainment solutions. At the LaserTV launch event at the Palms Hotel on Monday, Mitsubishi teamed with leading 3D digital technology provider REAL D to demonstrate 3D content.
Environmentally Friendly
The Mitsubishi large-format LaserTVs provide the highest performance in HDTV, and they do so with low power consumption. While today’s flat panel HDTVs consume significantly more energy than the analog TVs that they replace, LaserTVs are energy efficient, consuming less power than comparably sized flat-panel sets.
The styling of Mitsubishi’s LaserTV allows for wall-mounting in a variety of home entertainment settings.
Mitsubishi will ship LaserTVs to authorized retailers in the United States later this year. It seems like the retail prices will be in the price range of LCD based tvs, according to the latest rumors, altough this would be a bit to optimistic, because of the investements Mitsubishi should have made researching this new TV technology.
