Mitsubishi has announced a new DLP TV with a wider color gamut and a simpler DLP engine. This new design replaces the lamp and color wheel filter found in older DLP systems with three pipelined laser diodes.
Implementation of the RGB semiconductor lasers makes for purer colors, avoids bulb burnout, allows for a more compact cabinet design and shortens power up time. Elimination of the color wheel also removes those color trails sometimes seen on DLP screens.
Mitsubishi has also added an image post-processing system they call NCM intended to bring the image up to the recently-published IEC 61966-2-4 extended-gamut YCC color space standard, a.k.a. “xvYCC“. The resulting picture is brighter than standard DLP and will have about 1.8 times as many colors.

Estoy sumamente interesado en aber si este TV logra mejor definición que los LCD, y a que precios vienen en 46´ó 50 ´.<br />

Gracias,
Good riddance to those color trails. Laser diodes sound very impressive.
How long did the lamp and color wheel system endure, anyway? Talk about your 1970′s technology!
