article published on 11 October, 2006
Australian firm Arasor International and its US partner Novalux have unveiled what they see as the next revolution in visual technology - the world's first laser television which is poised to be half the price, twice as good, and consume a fraction of the electricity of conventional plasma and LCD TVs.
Manufacturing firm Arasor produces a special chip, the unique optoelectronic chip which ... [ read the full article ]

Haha Rav. Would be bad news for you after you've spent thousands on plasma TVs :)
I think it's extremely interesting. I will look forward to developments.

Half the price?? $1000 for a 50"??? Sounds a bit off. A 50" plasma that is any good will cost around $6000 or so.
The concept is interesting though. I would like to see one of these things in person.

Wow, that is pretty awesome, my family is remodeling our house so the only hd-tv in my house is the one I bought, Its a CRT so i guess you would say its nothing "special" (Im a college student and cant afford to go paying thousands for a flat tv) but im looking forward to one of these puppies in the main room when we finish remodeling!

There are/will be problems that are not yet known. It is inevitable with any new image technology. Although, the prospect is admittedly very interesting. I wonder how long it will be before I can by a laser monitor for my pc though.... Drool.
There are still a lot of factors to be analyzed though. Calibration issues, burn in, response time in ms, size limitations, etc.
Overall, it sounds like a great new technology to explore. That, and it's lasers man, LASERS! lol.
But seriously. Anyone who says they can beat out the current HD market dominator, and for a fraction of the price is crazy. Anyone who actually comes out with a product to do so deserves a listen. I'm curious to see where this new technology goes.
I'd give up my unit in a few years if bigger laser image units were available for a reasonable price. Heck, I'm just worried about reliability, but if major companies start doing this, and we get products from Sony, Panasonic, etc.... I could go for that.
But hey, it's a fast moving market, who knows what's coming down the pipe.

If this Novalux laser TV turns out to be better and cheaper as Mr.Pelaprat claims, I believe that the asking price for the Plasma as well as the HDTV will be reduced greatly, we have to wait and see, I sure will keep an eye out for it?

I also heard about this a while ago. It just bothers the heck out of me that is it the SED that's going to be the death of plasma and lcd or LASER? I seriouly like SED better though.

This sounds like what I have been waiting for. Someone I know that repairs TV's, including the plasma and LCD, told me to hold off on buying anything yet, that there would be a new tecnology coming out soon that would be superior than what is out now. I will be putting one of those 45-50 inch in my new family room for sure.

@Lethal_B - Nice find, $1500 for a decent branded 50" Plasma TV!
I read something that said Plasmas burn-in (The ghosting look that happens if you play games etc. on a TV too long, mainly common on projection TVs.) is pretty fast compared to Projection TVs, I wonder if the laser tvs will solve the "Burn-In" problem.

Just remember they are already working on the next gen dvd virtual dvd or something like that and will it be flat enough too be like a movie screen on the wall.
I think this is awsome they are one step closer too those nifty gadgets they used in earth final conflict where the screen was so thin you pulled one side and it ziped out.

I never thought plasma TVs would last, it would just be a matter of time until someone found a new technology to replace it, since plasma displays are so inefficient.

Thats really amazing. Right now I have 50" Samsung DLP. It was my next best choice other than plasma. Plasma TV's are way to expensive & the threat of image burn-in is a big turn off. DLP quality is much better than LCD, but just imagine everyone that we can get a larger TV in size & produces better resolution than plasma for under a $1000. I think they summed itn up best when they said "the death of plasma".

I'm waiting till around 2010 to buy an HDTV. By then everything should be sorted out and prices should be cheaper.

the coolest thing about these laser tvs i think is that fact that you can see 90% of colors but with plasma and stuff you could only see 30-35%. everyone said that a plasma tv was like looking out your window, but these lasers will be so much better in color quality that it actually will be like looking out your window.
