You probably never knew that that was the acronym "LASER". I'll be honest, I never knew either. We'll learn together. "So why are you blogging about laser", you ask? Simple. I'm going to step into the vast expanse of space and pull down, for you, the skinny on what Mitsubishi is all about with their new LaserVue Technology. I'm going to boldly go where no man has gone before and make you a firm believer in laser....no, not those pen things that could potentially blind someone...I'm talking "Uber-HighDef"
Ok. I'll get to the point. LaserVue Technology is ultimately going to be THE best technology when it comes to High Def and color distribution. Instead of using phosphors or liquid crystal, LaserVue uses...well, lasers. But not in the way that when you turn the TV on you instantly go blind. It uses a laser engine to filter the colors through fiber optic cables straight to the imager allowing unprecedented light and color distribution. Mitsubishi makes the technology so compact, that it makes it possible to mount this TV to the wall. But how much better is the color on LaserVue over LCD and Plasma?
This image shows the color spectrum differentiating Laser, LCD, & Plasma. In some cases, color seems to fair better on LCD over Plasma, but as you can see, Laser blows the color spectrum through the rafters surpassing LCD and Plasma. You see, LCD and Plasma use filters to filter bright white light into red, blue, and green colors to produce the images where as Laser can actually produce the colors without using a filter. So your reds, blues, and greens are more vibrant and powerful giving you a better picture.
This image depicts the Color Gamut Comparison between the three technologies. The chart shows all visible colors and the triangles show you the limits that the technologies can handle. Colors that have since been unseen in the TV world will now be visible to the eye when watching it through the LaserVue TV. Deep purples, crimson reds, and neon greens are just some of the many colors that are more vibrant on this TV. As you can see, LaserVue makes up more than double of LCD's gamma and almost double of Plasma's gamma. But is it just about color?
Actually, LaserVue is the best when it comes to using the LEAST amount of electricity. As you can see here, LaserVue uses only 135 watts of power and a comparable Plasma uses up to 799 watts of power. Now we all know about energy efficiency, but this blows them all out of the water! So let's recap. Best color distribution, no filters so the color is pure instead of "created", best array of colors (almost 1.8 times more colors than the other technologies), and unsurpassed energy savings. All in all, this TV seems to have it all. The price on this TV is $6,999 and is ready to luminate it's vast expanse of colors into your living room. Check our financing often to see when Mitsubishi has any special financing offers. I hope this was helpful in making you drool and I'll alert you all when we have one of these TV's in our showroom. Maybe I'll show a comparison pic! Have a great weekend.Take Care,

*Operating Power Consumption (in watts) is based upon manufacturer data as published in their respective websites or on the back of their TVs as of 09/19/2008. ** Avg Operating Annual Cost for LaserVue is calculated per the following formula found at the U.S. Dept. of Energy website as of 09/19/2008: Operating Power Consumption x Avg. Hours used per day (8) x 365 days/1,000 watts x Average Cost of Power ($.114 KW/HR). Hours used per day is based on 2007 findings by Nielsen Media Research which found U.S. households consume an average of 8 hours and 14 min per day. For purposes of this calculation, figure has been rounded off to 8 hours. Average Cost of power is based on information provided by Energy Information Administration website as of 09/19/2008.
