Those mad scientists at Mitsubishi have built the ultimate entertainment weapon—the laser TV! Lasers shooting out of a television screen isn’t as scary as it may sound. But it does have one big benefit-color.
Lasers can be tuned to the exact wavelength of light you like—down to the nanometer. So TV makers can produce the ideal shades of red, green, and blue to produce the best colors possibly. Mitsubishi claims this allows them to reproduce about 80 percent of all the colors humans can see—versus about 40 percent for other TVs.
In a clip from Moulin Rouge, for example, the yellows in the dancer’s dresses and in their makeup were virtually luminescent. Same for the falling yellow leaves in the great girl-on-girl battle from Hero. In Star Wars’ final encounter between Anakin and Obi Wan, the light sabers glowed a fluorescent blue that I don’t think I saw in the theater.
Seeing red, and red, and red
And then there’s the reds. Mitsubishi was tight-lipped about every single technical detail of the TV, but I’m pretty sure they are proudest of the reds. Almost every scene they showed on the set was saturated in crimson—be it the lava planet from Star Wars, the all-red sequence from Hero or the rouge in Moulin. And that’s significant, because red has generally been the hardest color for TVs to produce properly.
The biggest mystery is how Mitsubishi produced such laser-sharp images without the speckly artifacts that are supposed to be inherent to laser projection. Did they put some special foo in the screen to kill the speckle? Are they doing something unique with the lenses. We’ll have to wait to find out.
But in most respects, the TV is probably the same as any other Mitsubishi rear-projection TV. Instead of using a projector bulb or LEDs, it uses lasers to light the Texan Instruments DLP chip that reflects images out to the screen.
I want my laser TV
Mitsubishi says you can buy the new set by the end of the year. They aren’t revealing the cost, but a marketing guy told me their 50-inch model would compete with 65-inch LCD TVs, which run around $6000. Will folks pay more money for a fatter TV, just for the color? I think the video fanatics will—and there are a lot of them. Me, I think I’ll buy a bright red car instead.—Sean Captain

I don't agree upon the view presented in this article.I hope to see better constructed reports in the future.I think that at some point in time someone became lazy or maybe just time constrained and only prepared a slightly more detailed version of a presentation and this caught on like wild fire and unfortunately became acceptable since it cut the time to complete the briefing and presentation in half.

That is a crazy amount for a TV. Why not wait two years until the price drops in half. LCD's have a beautiful picture.

Hydrogen is the only one promising fuel for future of mankind. apart from that we have solar, wind energy models but most of then still needs very large level of innovation technology to make it useful for public.

I can’t say for sure, but I know that colors were stunning. And maybe I just had too many cocktails at the launch party, but I think I saw colors that I hadn’t seen before on a TV.

Preservation and promotion of health is achieved through a combination of physical, mental and social well-being, sometimes called "the triangle of health." Health is a positive concept focuses on the social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.

Purchased a 73 inch Mitsubishi crt rear projection tv in 2000. Set cost me $6,000.00. It just went belly up. I figure the cost to own this tv for ll years is about $545.00 a year. Repair people tell me that it isn't worth it to have it repaired. Some authorized repair people just refuse to fix it. So based on my experience with Mitsubishi you can make your own judgements when purchasing a Mitsubishi product.
