wow. Lasers. Cliche.
"Cliche" is not what you'll be saying once I sic my attack laser TV on you.
What?
Lasers?
So does it burn the image into your eyes or something?
Well at least we know it will be bright and have nice contrast

^^^explained
from doing some quick research, I guess this technology is supposed to be as good or better than plasma, for half the cost, and longer life.
This technology also until now was thought of as a hoax, or unincorporatable into a home tv.
you lose, loser.
i for one welcome our laser retina burning tv overlords
Laser Radiation - Avoid Eye Or Skin Exposure To Direct or Scattered Radiation. Eye Protection Required
lasers, ouch my eyes. can anyone say "Brightest display ever"?
It produces the brightess, highest contract image you've ever see...Which is nice, since its the last thing you'll ever see.
Here's the TechReview article from Oct 06...

on how it's supposed to work, etc.
Er...

This model appears to be fairly slim, with a lower center of gravity than most RPTV's. While it's not OLED thin, I'll take the amazing picture quality, superior brightness, longevity and energy efficiency of Laser TV. The cost will reportedly be very competitive too. OLED is better suited for smaller televisions in the range of 27-inch and below. Anything larger is too cost prohibitive and the longevity really must really be called into question. Some reports place the lifespan of an OLED TV at 5000 hours or less, with unsettling news that oxygenation will deteriorate those glowing organic critters.

Projections, Plasma's, LCD's, DLP's, Oled's, then Laser's... what's next?? Apparently people that want to have the state-of-the-art technology on home entertainments will have to cough up 3 grand anually!

"Warning: Invisible Laser Radiation - Do not look into beam with remaining good eye"
well laser light does not harm the human eye ball once it is reflected off a surface right? so as long as this beam is not being directed right into my retina i think I'll be ok with it i think. unless someone here can point some evidence to the contrary... and im sure with all the public questions the FCC is going to have a field day on this technology (if not an all out Congressional Hearing). so i feel safe for now i guess..

WTF!!, I said shark not TV.
Yes. I've always wanted to watch my movies in high definition red.
wow, when i first saw the picture i thought it was a speaker.. lol
If this can beat LCD's, SED's, and Plasmas in both PQ and price, I'll be all over it regardless of the slightly wider profile!
good stuff... having OPTIONS is never a bad thing!
