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 ]

Not marketable... yet
Sounds great... Unless you have seen an organic screen in person. I think this is an amazing step, but they are touting spec projections that they will not recieve. The HD world is just settling down from the three major HDTV types.
If developers design something to display 1080p, then that is what you will get... period. So, if a TV has 80 billion pixel def... it still does nothing.
It all still means little to me. I can see EVERYTHING that is currently offered. I have a 1080p TV. I have and HD player and a Blu-ray. Until You can get the rest of the world on board, you are hosed, peeps.
But it is coo. heehee

Good work by us aussies for once in the TV department.
Plasmas look like sh*t as it is compared to LCD's, il'd like to see the comparision now between the laser and plasma.

I just hope this thing is actually safe to view. I would be skeptical until long term tests are done. There isn't a single laser out there (grocery scanners, media players, etc.) that doesn't come with some kind of warning attached.
If there is any kind of degradation or flaw in the screen, or even radiation from a defective unit - this could be a very unsafe technology for repeated use.
I see it as more a death blow to DLP technology than the high end plasma though, since DLP caters to the low-end bargain shopper. Especially if the laser viewing angles are as poor as DLPs - then it's a better picture with the same strengths (cheap) and weaknesses (poor angles) as DLP. LCoS and Plasma are far superior to DLP already, and another player at DLP prices would just be the final nail in the coffin for DLP.

Plasma is the best on market RIGHT NOW!!! Quote:
plasma look like shit compared to LCD [quote/] so not true!
i was shopping for a TV last year for at least 4 months (was raising the money at the time) and i can say that allot of then (plasma) look pretty bad, but not all, i can say that i got one of the best TV, Hitachi 42HDF52 .... 42" that display 1080i, you can compare this tv with any LCD and then you who is the real shit, i can watch on this tv in any angle of a room. Just the best picture ever on its category. Not the best sound though, but i have H.T. that is what make all the work babe... until you guys wait for the next technology i'll enjoy today?s tech, and tomorrow you never know, maybe i'll upgrade too but thats is in about 2 to 3 years, so you know what just bring to PS3 and I?ll be all set. Even that i'm already happy with my Xbox360.

Been 4 or so years since I speculated that although plasmas are a decent technology, they will die really hard. Practically speaking.........EVERY flat panel monitor for a computer is LCD and it is just not going to happen where the world will turn towards plasmas as a standard when all the manufacturers have to do is change the size of LCDs rather than change to plasmas. LCDs have longer life, can be brighter, higher resolution, viewable from extreme angles (plasmas too I guess) so peeps that buy plasmas I think are wasting their money in a dying technology. These laser TVs look awesome and the technology makes sense because if anyone has watched a laser-light show then one can see the possibilities.

I knew something of this scale was going to happen because the risk of a Plasma dont out weight the reward for getting it.

SED: best display you'll never see...
Laser display INTRODUCTORY prices expected to be below $1,000 U.S.
Laser displays will win. Duh. Hope they can adapt the technology to projection systems.

SED seem fishy, especially these specs...
Quote:
contrast ratio of 100,000:1
50,000:1 contrast ratio
Now, I may not be considered a "smart man" (WTF! #$(( yes I am), but this seems just slightly contradictory.

Can't beat a good plasma right now IMO.
Thoose SED TV's look an interesting concept, however since its too early, you can't claim stuff like this:

SED is a GREAT idea but not practical to manufacture, too expensive, a looooong way from practical implementation and simply just not going to happen inside 10-12 years. So STOP saying "STFU noob" you rude P.O.S. and have a little respect for those who oppose you in recognising that this ain't gonna happen ANYTIME soon. When buying a tv.........it's important to realise that it's for the IMMEDIATE future and will become obsolete within 10(ish) years. But I guess the rude P.O.S. is buying televisions based on what they will be doing and where they will be living and their tastes, personalities and preferences 10 or 20 years from now. Hey while you're buying a tv for the future.........would you let me know what the winning lottery numbers are then too so I can pay someone to track you down and kick you in the A$$ for being a prick?

Sorry Rav, but plasmas are on the way out, LCDs are taking over, although i cant see any real visible difference besides knowing that plasmas have some ghosting later in their life, but if i had 3 42inch plasmas, i wouldnt care either :)

Toshiba's president announced the company plans to begin full production of 55" SED TVs in July 2007.
The technology has been in development since 1987.

I don't care what is the best. Most of what is on TV or on DVD isn't worth watching anyway, so I myself cannot see spending all that money to watch trash. But I think I would buy a laser to watch sports on.

I doubt anything will beat my Runco CRT projection system. Laser might replace it due to ease of use and daylight watching but the pure visual impact of CRT projection IS home theater.

Well here we go again! Just as I am about to purchase something, Along comes something better! So if in a year when I get the LASER TV , what will be announced then? Hollographic Tv's? They have holographic disks now for storage, so why not. I guess if the price is decent I will do it. But for now I will stay with my good ol flat screen till it dies, Then I will upgrade. Cheers on the Ausies for coming up with some new technoligy though, Good on ya.
