Laser HDTV
With technology growing like it is, it is not uncommon to hear of more
different television sets coming out on the horizon. The new hype when
it comes to television is the Laser HDTV which is a fairly new idea and
invention when it comes to television. They are totally different from
the plasmas and LCD televisions that we are used to watching now.
However, there are some drawbacks that come along with the new
invention. Those drawbacks are the costs, the safety and the speckle.
When it comes to cost you can bet your bottom dollar that they are
going to be expensive compared to what we are used to paying for a
television. Just think when you purchase a plasma or LCD TV, you pay
anywhere from one thousand to ten thousand dollars, so if the inventors
are worried about the costs of the Laser HDTV, how much do you think it
is going to cost? I can only begin to imagine that is why I cannot wait
until they hit the shelf, but like with any product if it doesn't sell
at the price that it comes out with, they will have to lower it and
just take the loss. The health issues are that you can damage your
visions for watching the screen due to the brightness; however they
should fix that problem before it hits the market at the end of this
year. The speckle issue is the fact that due to all the qualities of
the picture they are worried that the picture may be to rich and in
stead of producing a great picture it may have little speckles in it.
However, that is enough on the drawbacks; let's get to the good stuff.
One good quality that the Laser HDTV has is the brightness and color of
the picture that it broadcasts. Instead of actually only seeing forty
to forty five percent of the available color you will be able to see
ninety percent. That may just be the reason that they are worried about
our eyes, we have never had a television that offered that type of
picture. More advantages are that it is going to be half the weight and
cost of the plasma or LCD displays that we have now, it is going to be
very thin, and it is going to have around fifty thousand hours of life.
