LaserVue to offer something different from the "sea of Sameness"!

Good on Mitsubishi! The vice president of marketing at Mitsubishi Digital has said that they want to differentiate its brand from the "sea of sameness" that is currently on offer in the high-end TV market.

Sony may offer some fairly unique products but I'm confident that the LaserVue will end up kicking some Sony HD butt!

Frank DeMartin siad "“Flat panel TVs are commoditizing so rapidly that it’s hard to differentiate our products,” he said. “Flat has already been done—it’s time to move on and do something new." Too right! They're as cheap as chips now with people having them in their bedrooms, living room and even kitchens. The LaserVue will offer something different!

There's still no concrete information about the prices, but they're apparently due to debut next month. What we do know, however, is their target audience. There's two distinct types of buyer they're aiming for:

1) "The Home Theater family"
DeMartin describes these as families as ones "who tend to watch TV and movies together, who find TV-watching to be a valuable family experience ... they play a lot of video games and tend toward larger-screen TVs.”

2) The "Golden Guy"
DeMartin describes this guy as "a little more affluent and tends to want the best of all the products they own".

OLED, SED, FED, Laser TV

There'll be so much choice later this year - we hope. So which will be the format of choice? Take a look at the MSN feature and let us know what you think!

Their view is that it'll be a straight battle between OLED which already exists and Laser TV which is due out soon! And I wouldn't disagree! Strange that!

A Blast From The Past - Sydney Morning Herlad Gets it So Wrong!

It's not two years since the Sydney Morning Herald claimed that "Laser TV [is] no plasma killer', but the LaserVue is just a few short months away! Its a shame they didn't have a word with the guys at Mitsubishi!

I'm so getting hard thinking of a bright new laser tv to watch House on! Bring it on!

Mitsubishi LaserVue Quick Specs

Here's the current specs and details we "know" about for the new Mitsubishi LaserVue Laser TV:

• Ultra Thin Frame - less than an inch
• 1080p LCD HDTV
• Sizes from 40” to 52.”
• Fairly expensive from $2,499 to $4,499. Expect that to be around £1,699 to £2,999 in the UK.

The sad thing is that I need a couple of new flat panel TV's for the living room and games room but I'm holding off until they arrive as who wants an inferior TV when they can have the Mitsubishi LaserVue?
