My question is, "Can you move it once you set it up or do you sell it with the house like you have to with plasma?" :)

um... reading comprehension

"Mr Pelaprat predicted LCD TVs would come to dominate the market below 40 inches, and laser television the market above that screen size, displacing plasma."

Have a look it's quite awsome.]]>Oct 10th 2006 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/
that all depends on the manufacturing cost which would dictate the end cost to consumers. If they can get them low enough so Joe Average could get one of these guys on the wall, a domination could happen. LCD, SED, current gen Plasma and the like are still very expensive technologies for the average consumer.]]>Oct 10th 2006 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/
unless it's still based on this 6 year old tech http://www.photonicsonline.com/content/news/article.asp?DocID={EA2E56F4-057C-11D4-8C30-009027DE0829}&Bucket=&Featured=&VNETCOOKIE=NO
, which is still better resolution than current HDTV.]]>Oct 10th 2006 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/Oct 10th 2006 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/
Lasers? Wow, first I've heard of this. Tho, 'half' the price is what? Why no ball park range? 36" for $800?]]>Oct 10th 2006 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/
Mr Pelaprat predicted LCD TVs would come to dominate the market below 40 inches, and laser television the market above that screen size, displacing plasma.

Dominate over 40" is the implication.]]>Oct 10th 2006 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.dragonseye.com/blog/archives/191-More-laser-TV.html]]>Oct 10th 2006 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/
Exactly: http://www.novalux.com

Anyone interested in this technology should check the site out. It provides a wealth of information.

BTW: The Novalux laser units are called "Necsel".]]>Oct 10th 2006 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/Oct 11th 2006 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/
The only issue I have with all of today's articles are that Novalux (/Necsel) seems to be getting the short-end of the attention stick. While I understand that today's PR is centered around the Australian partner's IPO (Arasor), none of the stories I've READ today have included a direct link to the Novalux site (which I STILL believe provides much more information on the technology than ANY of the other related links. I just thought I'd point it out, and give the "Silicon Valley-based" team the URL credit it rightfully deserves.

As a related aside: I was lucky enough to view a working Necsel display in-the-flesh alongside DLP, LCD, and Plasma counterparts at SID 2006 (back in June) and have held Necsel laser components in my own hands, so if you'd like to continue your "density" discussion, I'd rather it were related to the incredible number of individual Necsel lasers that can be "printed" on a single wafer or the color density the display was able to reproduce.

Also, in case you're really interested in this technology, one of the main reasons for the decreased weight and manufacturing costs of laser displays (over DLP and LCD in particular) doesn't seem to be getting much mention...

DLP and LCDs both use high-output lamps, and require lenses, mirrors, and prisms to split the white light into separate (color) wavelengths before recombining them again down the "road". These lamps alone are relatively large and heavy units, and also get EXTREMELY hot, necessitating large (/power-sucking) cooling fans.

Lasers need little to none of this stuff, since they run very cool, and are split into RGB beams from the get go.

In comparison to DLP displays in specific, the Necsel units are also able to do away with both color wheels and "light tunnels".

Anyhow, I though someone might find the background information interesting... I hope it wasn't too "dense".]]>Oct 11th 2006 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/laser-tvs-launching-christmas-2007/May 12th 2007 8:41PM
