Mitsubishi Now Selling 65-inch LaserVue TV

Mitsubishi is now selling its first laser-powered TV — the 65-inch LaserVue (L65A90) — at specialty retailers nationwide.

We first got details of LaserVue back in June. It delivers two-times the color and uses less power than most HDTVs, is the first model selling.

The company previously said it will release a 73-inch L73A90 shortly after the 65-inch model. Mitsubishi, however, hasn't given a specific time frame.

LaserVue also features:

• 500 nits of brightness
• A 1080p image
• Smooth 120Hz technology
• x.v. Color

LaserVue, which is 10-inches thin, has been designed for both floorstanding and wall-mount applications. It also comes with 3D-ready viewing capabilities and a full stereo range of sound with built-in speakers.

"The consumer demand for LaserVue has simply exceeded our expectations and the product is a terrific example of Mitsubishi's technology leadership within the home entertainment market," says Frank DeMartin, VP of marketing for Mitsubishi America.

"Bringing laser TV to market is a significant industry accomplishment and we're very proud to be the only TV manufacturer to date that has delivered on the promise of a laser-driven TV.

"With operating power at approximately 135W, LaserVue is environmentally friendly, consuming approximately one-third the power of today's LCD TVs, and one-fourth of plasma TVs."

MSRP: $6,999
