Laser TV - Coherent Technology

Lasers may become an replacement for the UHP lamps which are currently in use in projection display devices such as rear projection TV and front projectors. Current televisions are capable of displaying only half of the visible spectrum of colors. In contrast, proponents of Laser TV technology claim that the standard will be able to reproduce more than 90% of the colors visible to the human eye.

They also claim the displays will:
* be half the weight and cost of Plasma or LCD displays
* require around 25% of the power required by Plasma or LCD displays
* be very thin like Plasma and LCD displays are today
* have a very wide colour gamut
* have a 30.000 hour life

Will laser tv be ablo to support 4 and 8K resolution?

[ivorysandstorm]

boring.........

It would be cool if one could get a pc monitor with laser tech. The gammut is significantly increased but i wonder what's with the dynamic range. Current technologies stink in terms of fstops. I'm currently looking into geting a new monitor for photography purposes and im not verry confident about switching from my crt because i havent seen a good lcd live yet.

...I bet this laser technology could replace slide film in terms of color and dynamic range XD

@n64roo yea totally.. crt is the best

[n64roo]

I totally agree, current flat screens IMO have a long way to go yet, my old CRT trinitron produces MUCH nicer skin tone and natural looking colour than my plasma does aside from having no pixellation either... what a waste of cash that was

Mitsubishi offers 65 and 73 versions of LaserVue TVs since 3rd quarter of 2008. Google it.

I use an HD ecp4500 crt projector. displays more colour than lcd and dlp. no muddy picture from interpolation. No pixel gaps, 10 000 hour plus life span.

Xbox 360 is awesome and the dark knight scenes with the joker look dam awesome at 720p bluray on 140 inch screen.

Most don't realised cathode ray tube still produces a better picture than most technologies. Laser based crt like system wouldd be incredible for projection

time to market, 2007, mmm were now 2009 theres no one even talking about them, sony have just realesd there OLED tv, but come on were all waiting for this interesting technoligy, cant wait for all the faulty ones to start showing up at repair shops like the one i work in, nothing lasts and why can i see lasers dying and FADEING, everythings ages, best of luck guys but i feel its going to take a couple more years yet! Good luck

When you go from 1080p to an 1080i signal, then the quality of the deinterlacer comes into play. I have 1080i on my projector as well but rely on a de and re-interlacing for source material which is 720p and 480p/i.

Due to the number of lines, 480i/p looks awful on my screen. I only watch 1080i on my set with a few forays into 720p.

WickedLasers has solid state lasers as powerful.
