3. Mitsubishi L65-A90 LaserVue DLP Television

Take a DLP projection television and, instead of using a traditional light source to produce the viewable image on the screen, employ laser technology for the task.

The result: Execellent color reproduction and contrast, as well as a light source that doesn't wear out. Also, even though this is not a true flat panel teleivision, the set is so thin, it can even be wall-mounted.

The Mitsubishi 65-inch L65-A90 not only features LaserVue technology, but is also 120Hz 3D-ready (with optional accessory processor and glasses), offers 1080p native resolution, and four HDMI inputs.

I have seen the prototype of this set both at both the CES and CEDIA trade shows this past year, and it is impressive. Check out the LaserVue Microsite.
