We'll be frank -- Mitsubishi's
65-inch LaserVue L65-A90 was one of the most stunning things we saw at
CEDIA 2008, so we're not surprised to hear that one of the very first production units impressed the lucky folks over at
TheTechLounge. Said individuals were able to take a first-hand look at Mitsu's forthcoming beast, and while the situation was obviously optimal for viewing, they couldn't help but praise the TV. The demonstration included two LaserVue sets, one of which was displaying 3D 1080p content from an HTPC and another that was setup beside LCDs for comparison. When staring at the aforesaid comparison setup, critics noted that "color performance on the LaserVue was noticeably more impressive." There's lots more reaction and images where this came from, so delve on into the read if
this here set is on your wish list.

"...while the situation was* obviously optimal for viewing"
*wasn't?
No.
Ohh...I didn't have my cynical goggles on :[:]
Spore FTW!!!!!
Want in a bad way.
Who wouldn't want one? It's got freakin lasers.
um... the picture in the left hand tv is cropped... making it look worse.
unfair comparison?
it doesn't look cropped. it's probably the tv showing 3D content.
The one on the left is the Mitsu from the article the right one is a KURO.
Laser
I'll take 2.
What's currently on the TV?
Looks like this LaserVue tech has a chance to be a real hit if Mitsubishi plays its cards right.
I can't tell the difference between the two.
Damn it my LCD computer monitor!
Since I am not a fan of the picture quality of LCD, my interest has been stimuated.
I just cant see people shelling out $6999 for a 65" rear projection tv in 2008 and beyond, even if the pictures is slightly better than what is out there now. People want to hang their tv on their wall now. Show me this technology in a front projector and I'll probably consider it.
i wish i could afford this
If the one on the right is a Pioneer plasma and the one on the left is LaserVue, it seems like the Pioneer has better colors. I suppose it is hard to tell without seeing it in real life.
It's not just hard to tell, it's impossible.
Yes, this set should sell quite well in the coming Depression. I'll take two.
Did anyone ever think of taking side by side pictures of these 3D tvs so we can see the 3D effect on our screens? You make one long picture with the right picture on the left and the left on the right and then look at it crosseyed.
How do we know the sets aren't rigged. That image there is a big difference. Is it coming from the same source?
Frankly I just can't wait for the phasing out of LCDs, colour and contrast wise they've just completely failed to impress me.
I'll wait until someone can actually get it in a lab and do some real testing on it to see if it's really any good. While I own a DLP set now and love it, I'm ready to upgrade. 4 years is a long time in today's market.
While I have yet to see one outside of the photos published on line, many who have seen the set up close state that the photos shown in this article do not do it justice. The LaserVue is the set to the left and the poor color depth is a result of the angle at which the photo was taken. Witness have stated that the LaserVue and the plasma (I think it is a Kuros) both look fantastic, however with the LaserVue taking less power, with a far greater life expectancy it is a very attractive product (excluding the current retail price).
I am hoping to see one of these for myself in the next couple of weeks to judge for myself. Until I see it with my own eyes, I shall be skeptical of any and all photos. It will also be another couple of years before I purchase one (agreement with the wife), so I am hoping that future generations will have lower prices.
