It appears the technology for laser tv's is definitly progressing.
"The Laser TV is brighter – there’s no fundamental limit to screen size like there is with plasma or LCD - the screen is just a piece of glass rather than a complex, multilayer structure than suffers of imperfections when you exceed about 40" diagonal screen size in a plasma or LCD. There is simply much more light from a laser, so you could turn up the plasma all you like and it will still not be as bright.
I think the people who haven't seen the Laser TV are missing the point. If you were at the launch most of these questions were asked & answered. The laser doesn't make the TV any higher resolution, it’s main benefit are that it delivers twice as much colour as a plasma or LCD TV. The Laser TV gives you almost the full color spectrum that you see in real life, and the contrast in things like fleshtones, deep blues & reds, and also rich yellows really jump out at you because you've never seen them before on a TV. That's why it looks better and brighter than plasma or LCD. It’s twice the colour that gives the real life rich content experience.
The DLP or rear projection TVs are big and clunky because the optoelectronics engine that drives them is made of discrete components including a huge high power lamp. The optical chips (used in Laser TV) simply integrate all those separate components together into a chip, and that takes out the manual labor, cost and bulk." - Larry Marshall, the co-chairman of Arasor .
It supposedly will crank out 90% of the colour spectrum opposed to the 35-45% current plasma and LCD's will do, as well as half the weight, use less power etc.. There are allegedly going to be a few of these at CES '07, so it will be interesting to see.
New technology rocks!:D
