I wonder what would happen if a unit were to have a fault all of a sudden? You'd be watching Ainsley Harriet tossing something in a salad bowl then next thing you know, you've had your eyebrows singed off by a stray laser.

Sounds good though, particularly the price point.

Sounds interesting. A little more fact and figures would be good.

Why would a laser TV be likely to develop a fault whereby it automatically switched to an Ainsley Harriott programme?

Oh...wait...

Seriously, this is why I have stuck with good ol' crt, and will for the near future. I've never seen conventional tft's as more than an interim solution, given their natural compromises on scaling, contrast, varying brightness an light bleed. I'll wait until a definitive solution appears befor I make the switch to anything other than crt. The only disadvantage is the weight and power consumption.

I think he was referring to the weight and power consumption of a CRT.

Sounds nice.
Will it have the same scaling limitations as LCDs?

Off to t'interweb for the hunt for more info...

aggies11 · 13th Oct 2006, 15:43

I'll believe it when I see it.

"Press Release" technology always sounds great, but it's a whole nother story to get that stuff actually out on the market.

I'm still waiting for my Organic LED TV...

Sounds promising, hope it turns out, but I definitely won't hold my breath.

Even if it's half the cost to produce there will be some "profit taking" before the price drops to a "decent" level

DXR_13KE · 13th Oct 2006, 16:18

nice..... i hope it does not become like Blue-ray has become........ blue-ray was so cool on paper, but now it kind of sucks.

Is it terrible that I am more sceptical about this because it comes from Australia

? Wasn't the most complicated bit of tech to come of out Oz the clothes line?

*shakes fist*

Go to that ITWire article, and you can see it in action compared to a Plasma TV. There REALLY is alot of difference.

Well in my defence was anyone even aware they had a tech industry? Well it certainly looks good if it comes to fruition

Kudos to the guys behind the tech!

timmehtimmeh · 16th Oct 2006, 18:22

Don't mean to sound negative but it's yet just ANOTHER marketing ploy to try to sway some sponsors in their direction. I have heard sooo many "our new technology is going to revolutionise TV's" I am getting sick of it.

OLED, SED & FLCD Televisions anyone?... Lets add Lazer TV's to that list.

Much like Aggies said, I will not be holding my breath for this one. Time to buy me one of those 1080p Pioneer 50 inch plasma sets ... dream.

xion · 17th Oct 2006, 18:13

I dont care what the tech is or how well it performs... i just want one because it sounds the charlies!!! "i have brand new 50"" HD-LASER-tv!!!!" thats the suff of star trek! ...ahem, over excited a tad...
