Laser TV was a publicity stunt (part 2)

I bought it. And so did many of our readers. Heck, even top people at Mitsubishi’s believed the Laser TV was for real.
Should we have been more suspicious? Perhaps. But then again, if we were to question everything, we’d be missing a lot of incredible stuff on the CE market.
But next time… if a man called Calculus drops by, pretending he invented the Supercolor-Tryphonar, we won’t post it on About-electronics. Promise!
Professor Calculus' invention

    FYI: Kevin Hunt of the Hartford Courant ran a story in last weekend’s Tribune newspapers about it, and is claiming that Mitsubishi will indeed be ready to launch laser tv in late 2007.

    I wrote to him asking for his source, and he indicated he’d spoken directly with Mitsubishi.

    Here’s the story:

    Would Mitsubishi really be this misled if the underlying technology didn’t work?

    Great follow-up info on this one. Thanks, SpinyNorman!

    (but unless I *see* a laser TV in the stores, I’ll still have some trouble believing they do exist ;-)
