According to Mitsubishi, the TV delivers twice as much color as new generation plasma and LCD TVs to be released this year, because laser TV, they claim, provides the most extensive range colors, the most clarity, and the best depth of field.
The Mitsubishi Laser TV comes embedded with a Real-D 3D processor and not the Arasor chipset which was shown for the first time in Australia last year. An advantage of Laser TV is that consumers will be able to see some top of the line 3D programming at home.

The display, called Laser TV, uses laser as the light source, unlike liquid-crystal displays, which use a white backlight, and plasma displays, which use cells of charged gas to illuminate the screen. When asked about Arasor and the launch in Australia last year of a claimed Mitsubishi laser TV, Mitsubishi executives refused to discuss the issue.
At the launch Mitsubishi demonstrated three 65-inch laser displays, which are currently being manufactured. In addition, the company demonstrated how its laser TV could be used as a 3-D home theater. The company played clips from Beowulf, a football game, and U2's 3-D concert on its laser display. Viewers wore shutter glasses from RealD, a supplier of 3-D technology. Shutters on the lenses switched on and off--imperceptibly--60 times a second, synchronizing to a signal emitted from the display.
