When Mitsubishi unveiled their Laservue TVs earlier this year the only thing left to wonder was the potentially astronomical price. On Monday the electronics manufacturer made the 65-incher’s price public, $7,000. Unfortunately, they didn’t announce the price of the 73-inch box, which I’m guessing will be almost double, if not more than the smaller model.
If you recall, the Mits Laservue TV’s are 10-inches thick, considerably larger than today’s Plasma and LCD TV, but produce 200% of the color gamut and are 3D ready.

Optoma today announced that they’ll be building the forever anticipated pocket sized Pico projector and it’s availability will be later this year. If you recall, I’ve posted a few articles about this in the past but until recent it was all tentative. The Pico projector will connect to virtually any portable device and display an image many times larger than its source.
Should be pretty sweet considering devices like the iPhone and such are becoming ubiquitous. The Pico will probably have its place in the business presentation world. Next step: the Pico projector in a cell phone - we’ve all been waiting for that one.
The Pico Projector will use a DLP chipset, support composite video connection and run on Lithium-ion batteries (I’m sure you can plug it in too).

By now we’re all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Pico, a projector small enough to fit into a cell phone. Even though the product has yet to be unveiled that hasn’t stopped their marketing team from releasing a set of commercials promoting it…well promoting the stand alone product. The ads are pretty cheesy with the silliest one featuring 30-something hipsters displaying images at a bar to pick up on a guy.

I’m still waiting for Texas Instruments to unveil their highly anticipated cell phone projector. Until then, will all have to settle for Samsung’s almost-pocket sized DLP projector. The Ultra Mobile Pocket Projector (U310) features a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 150 ANSI lumens brightness. To put it in perspective, some full sized DLP projectors rock 2500:1 contrast ratio and 1500 lumens. So you can see the sacrifices that were made in favor of size. Oh yeah, it’s only SVGA (800×600).
