First Laser TV has a price

After a seemingly-endless stream of delays, Mitsubishi has finally announced the price of the first commercially available TV to use laser technology.


To get your hands on one of these huge Laservue L65-A90s (above), you'll need to have a spare 6, 999 dollars lying around. 

Nevertheless, as Mitsubishi point out in their FAQs, the cost of this 65'' TV is not very much more than comparably sized flatscreens that rely on other technologies.

For the time being, the model is only available in the US, but we imagine a launch in Europe will follow shortly.  Hopefully Mitsubishi will not opt for the one euro/pound for one dollar approach, and release this TV at a roughly equivalent price - 4, 000 pounds or 5, 000 euros.


For our part, we can't wait to get our hands on the first of this new generation of TVs and see if it really does outperform today's LCDs and plasmas - and, for that matter, how it compares to screens featuring the long-awaited OLED technology, the first of which we tested recently.
