Laser TVs - Thing of the future my Nan reckons….

For almost a year now the TV industry has been quietly buzzing over Mitsubishi’s 2006 announcement that they would bring the first Laser Projection TV to the market this year. However the current range of Plasma and LCD TVs can breathe a small sigh of relief because this will not happen until 2008. Laser TVs are capable of bright and deep images on large, thin, lightweight screens and supposedly are cheaper to make than your average Plasma Screen. Mitsubishi aren’t the only company beavering away on the new technology either, other companies like ‘Coherent’ and ‘Arasor’ (who?) are reportedly working on them too. And while this list may not be household names in the TV arena, 2008 could prove to be an interesting year.
