The 3D at our local theater was top-notch quality, much better than any IMAX I've seen. The glasses did not dim the picture. Colors stayed true.
Arch, can polized glasses work in a home theater? I thought that required special projectors.

Self-contained laser set is the ticket for very large size screens going into large multi-purpose rooms, such as family rooms in McMansions. (And I'm a plasma factory guy with neon-xenon coursing thru my own veins!)
1. Laser delivers bright and clear pictures at very large sizes, think 100".
2. Flat panel will remain prohibitively expensive in +65".
3. Flat panel faces PQ challenges in changing light conditions (plasma likes dark, LCD likes light) and over long periods of time (phosphor wear in both plasma and LCD backlight).
4. Flat panel in large sizes requires professional installation.
5. Even a minor surface scratch ruins a flat-panel display. PJTV lets you replace the surface without prejudice to the main unit.
Mark my words and watch this technology closely. In three years, your 60" flat panel will leave you with 100-inch laser envy.

Mar 20th 2008 10:53AM Looks very promising. There will continue to be a demand for bigger screens with low power requirements and low heat discharge. These guys are on the right track.

Mar 9th 2006 9:12AM #5's comment "leakage" of gas? Haven't ever heard of that in over 6 years of serving plasma purchasers. But it's a good example of misinformation that perpetuates itself about the plasma display category.
For the record, plasma displays are sealed at the factory and are no more likely to leak gas than the neon beer sign in the window of your favorite neighborhood tavern.
