Mitsubishi intros slew of HDTVs, says LaserVue is coming in Q3
Mitsubishi and the onset of Spring can only mean one thing: an onslaught of HDTVs. Just as it did last year, the aforementioned outfit is busting out a plethora of high-definition sets to whet your appetite. As for the new line of April-bound DLPs ($1,799 to $4,699), you can expect the entire lot -- which ranges from 60- to 73-inches in size -- to sport 1080p panels, thinner frames than those on prior models, increased brightness, Mitsu's own 6-Color Processor and 3D-readiness.
Moving on, we've got the new family of Ultra Thin Frame 1080p LCD HDTVs ($2,499 to $4,499; shipping in May), which span between 40- and 52-inches and feature low-profile speakers, Smooth 120Hz Film Motion / GalleryPlayer technology, 10-bit panels, 6-Color Processor, x.v.Color and Deep Color. For these and the DLPs, those who opt for the Diamond series will be treated to Variable Smooth 120Hz Film Motion technology, a DeepField Imager and an oh-so-desirable blue light accent.
Lastly, the Laser TV which made its debut at CES 2008 is on track for a Q3 release, and just as predicted, it'll be going by the name LaserVue and sporting a currently undisclosed price tag. Hit the read link for the full breakdown.

Great news, but I'm not sure if I can wait till Q3 to check out the Laser sets to replace my aging Mitsu 65" RPTV.
Does anyone know how the laser sets work? I've been put off on standard DLP sets because of having to worry about bulb replacements, so I was looking at getting one of the Samsung LED based sets. But how do the Laser sets work in this aspect? Anybody know?

The laser is designed to last the lifetime of the TV. For more information and an eyewitness report go to HDGURU.com

I have a 61" Samsung LED set. It's great and I don't see any rainbows, but one thing you should be aware of is that it has a limited viewing angle. So if you have seating far to the left and right of the TV you wont get as good of picture quality. Other than that, I have no complaints. I dialed mine in using video essentials DVD and everything looks very natural.
Also mind you if you do get a DLP tv you'll want to avoid Faroudja scalers in DVD players or receivers. I'd go with something like the Oppo 980H or 983.

4500 for a 52" LCD?!?!?! Wow...

too bad this means that laser tv will be 5k-7k at the very min. which means i wont go hd for another year or 2 when the price comes down more.

i don't want a plasma, i want a laser dlp set but they are gonna cost too much right now, and a plasma or lcd is even more expensive than that for one with decent pic quality. no way am i spending 15-30k+ for a lcd or plasma

Dude, use a currency converter.
15k yen is only like 1500 USD. Shop at www.newegg.com or something if you can't work the currency converter. Plus, it's cheaper on shipping to shop in the US as opposed to paying to have you set individually shipped half way around the world.
