Forget plasma and LCD TV - the Laser TV is coming!

According to Arasor, Laser TVs:

- Are half the weight and half the cost of plasma and LCD TVs

- Have 75% less power output than many plasmas and LCDs

- Are very thin, like most plasmas and LCDs

- Have a very wide colour gamut showing more than twice the range of colours that existing plasma and LCD TVs can display. This is important because even though the latest plasma and LCD TVs can display quite stunning colour, especially when compared with earlier models, they only display about half the colour range the human eye can see. Laser TVs change this forever.

- Can be very large, or can be made very small. In 2008, we are set to see laser TVs in phones, PDAs, laptop comptuers, cinemas, video cameras, pocket TVs and even heads-up displays in cars.

- With small devices such as phones, PDAs and video cameras, a laser projector can beam an image from the device onto a wall, with the same amazing colour reproduction.

- Have a 50,000 hour life (similar to plasma and LCD TVs which are rated at approximately 60,000 hours, and much greater than most projectors which have a lamp life of 3,000 to 4,000 hours)

- Offer almost constant 100% power output from the laser over the 50,000 hour lifespan, meaning a clear, bright and sharp image for the life of the Laser TV without needing recalibration for slowly degrading light and colour output (as would happen with plasma, LCDs and projectors)
