Laser TV
Looks like we have new technology to join our current LCD TV vs. Plasma TV battle.
Australian company Arasor International and its US partner Novalux unveiled what they claimed to be the world’s first laser television. It is scheduled for Christmas 2007 worldwide sales launch. It is produced by recognisable brands such as Samsung and Mitsubishi and is is claimed to be half the price, twice as good, and use a quarter of the electricity of conventional plasma and LCD TVs. Also Laser TV is going to show us 90% of colors that human eye can see. (Current LCD and Palsma can show only 30%-35%)
Manufacturing company Arasor produces the unique optoelectronic chip central to the laser projection device being developed by Silicon Valley-based Novalux, which is being used by a number of television manufacturers.
Combine the fact that Sony recently dropped its Plasma TV production with this new innovation technology it looks like I am not going to place any bets on Plasmas in this TV technology battle.
