Doubts about the Laser TV?
Oct 12th, 2006 | By Staff Writers | Category: Imaging, Technology news, Tips and advice
The Laser TV is coming, but some existing TV manufacturers seem to have some doubts.
Naturally, this should come as no surprise, especially as the Laser TV seems set to
knock competing technologies off their perch, and the all important Christmas season is
nearing. So what are the doubters saying?
It all really comes down to conjecture, as none of the people I’ve spoken to have seen
the Laser TV, but they still raise a few interesting questions.
To start with, one well known ‘trick’ of the retail trade when it comes to displaying
big screen TVs is to set them all to maximum brightness. This is almost necessary in
stores, where the lighting is bright and nothing like the lighting most people have in
their living rooms. Most people also don’t have a wall of TVs lined up next to each
other, all competing for your visual attention. Keeping all the TV’s pictures bright
makes them really stand out.
So one of the questions posed, regarding the plasma TV used in the side-by-side
comparison with the Laser TV, is… was the plasma TV set up correctly, or were the
colours dulled a little to make the Laser TV look better? And was the Laser TV set to
maximum brightness with the colours set to look richer, or was it the standard image you
would expect to see once you took a Laser TV out of its box
