Considering a New Big Screen TV? Maybe You Should Look at a Laser TV.

Bookmark and ShareIf you love watching television on a large screen, then there are a number of television technologies out there that can be great options. Laser TV is the newest kid on the block for shoppers. With unparralleled color, brightness and energy conservation, laser TV may indeed be the right choice.

Read further on this page to find out just a bit about the technology behind laser TV, it's advantages, and all of the related news.

How Does a Laser TV Work? 

Digital Light Processing (DLP) TVs are the predecessors of Laser TV. A DLP TV generates images by reflecting light off of the surface of a digital micromirror device which houses hundreds of thousands of tiny mirrors. This light is then bounced off of a color wheel and lens onto the screen.

With a laser TV, the color wheel is eliminated by red, green and blue lasers which become the light sources. These lasers are able to display the full spectrum of color, with greater brightness. To learn more about the science behind laser TV you can read this PRAD report.

What's Nice about Laser TV? 

Laser TV offers a number of advantages over other current flat panel TV technologies:

  • No motion blur unlike some LCD TVs.

  • Brighter and more precise color. The red, green and blue lasers allow laser TV to display twice as many colors as other screens.

  • Deeper blacks than LCD screens.

  • Able to operate on far less power. A laser TV is said to operate on 1/3 the amount of power of a similarly sized LCD screen and only 1/4 of the power of a plasma screen. In the end this can translate into cost savings.

  • Competitive pricing. The current laser TV product is priced competitively with a similarly sized plasma however, it's anticipated that prices will drop further in the future as they are mass produced.

  • Long life. A laser TV is expected to have a 50,000 hour life compared to 30,000+ for plasma and LCD screens.

  • Size and weight. A laser TV is quite a bit thinner than it's predecessor DLP TV. The current 65" television is only 10" deep and weighs only 136 pounds.

    Yes I think it will in the future, but at current the price of them just means that for most people Laser TV is not currently a realistic option. It's an excellent technology and I'd love to own a laser TV, right now I definitely feel that they're a tad on the expensive side though and this will therefore mean plasma and LCD will rule supreme for a little while longer yet!
