LaserVue

At the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2008, Mitsubishi launched a new category of large-format televisions with laser technology, and today the company announced the brand name for its new Laser TV -- LaserVue.



As the first-ever laser-powered television, LaserVue promises to deliver a range of color never before seen in home entertainment.

Today's HDTVs display less than 40 percent of the color spectrum that the eye can see. Now, for the first time ever, laser produces twice the color. Mitsubishi claims that laser beams provide the widest range of rich, complex colors, along with the most clarity and depth of field.

Mitsubishi LaserVue TVs are also environmentally friendly, consuming approximately one-half the power of today's LCD TVs.

"Mitsubishi has created a new category in television with laser technology and now we are creating an exciting new brand, LaserVue, which we believe consumers will come to equate with the industry's best performing televisions," continued DeMartin.

The company will ship LaserVue televisions in the 3rd Quarter of 2008.
