Thread: Laser TV's future: a big step forward

HDI more energy efficient compared to plasma

By DAVID S. COHEN

Engineers and S3D experts from Sony, Sharp, JVC, Hitachi and even Mitsubishi crowded into a workshop in Los Gatos, Calif., last week to see a prototype 100-inch, rear-projection S3D television from startup HDI. That's far bigger than Mitsubishi's 65-inch LaserVue

"HDI hopes someone, even Mitsubishi, will buy their tech in hopes of leapfrogging the LaserVue. They say they could be in production in as little as 24 months."

Problem with thumping plasma right now, is PQ/Screen size for the price. LCD's keep advancing and costing the same. Plasma is advancing and costing less.

In 24 months something else could be out. OLED is the future.

I agree and thats what Im waiting to see.

I figure I'll have this 50" plasma for another 2-3 years, then explore my options.

Laservue was a total bomb. For 100" or above front projector is the way to go.

S~

Was it a bomb for sales or for the advance in PQ?

I hope to dedicate a room to FP one day.

The problem with OLED is $ per inch. It will be several years before a " big screen " OLED becomes the norm like Plasma and LCD have become.

I wonder how the viewing angle was on the 100" laser.

Theres always the 3D plasmas coming from Panny
