Though Big and Bulky, Mitsubishi's New Laser TV Dazzles
The market for HDTVs is flooded with competing technologies and not to mention perplexing acronyms and abbreviations -- DLP, LCD, OLED, Plasma, SED. Now you can add Laser TV to your list of display technologies to know. Mitsubishi unveiled a 65-inch laser television at an event during this week's CES -- and people at this week's CES show were buzzing about the incredible color and contrast.
Mitsubishi isn't revealing details about exactly how it works, but we do know it is based on a rear projection system, meaning that this is never going to be as thin as those sexy OLEDs on display. And who knows what the future holds for big and bulky projection TVs, whose stars are falling almost as quickly as those of HD-DVD. But the laser TV does have a leg up in the image quality department. Apparently, colors were so intense and contrast so dramatic that Greg Adler at PC World described it as "artificial" looking.
Pricing isn't available, but Mitsubishi plans to have the displays on the market by fall of 2008.

That is just another one that we will need to wait a few years for the price to come down on.

Laser TV will become its own category of TV, much like LCD and plasma. Laser engines will be the preferred light source in cell phones and tons of other microdisplay products, because nothing can achieve the brightness and efficiency of pure laser light.

Google Answers put together a pretty interesting list of automotive GPS companies as investment opportunities. That is, companies that are pretty much a pure play in GPS for cars, and that trade on the stock market.
