Washington, D.C. (September 9, 2008) -- Mitsubishi says its first Laser HDTV will be a 65-inch model that will retail for $6,999 and should be available in the next several weeks in the United States.
That's according to an article by PC Magazine.
The price tag will be steep compared to similar-sized LCD and Plasma sets. PC Magazine notes that a Sharp 65-inch LCD HDTV now retails for around $4,000.
But Mitsubishi, which is billing the set as 'LaserVue,' said it will revolutionize the high-def industry by offering crisper pictures and more vivid colors. The television, which uses a laser light engine to display images, will consume one-third of the power of a Plasma HDTV.
