Erric, i have been to one seminar provided by mitsubishi on the laserview set. It looks promising as a consumer product however, I fear it will find a difficult time in the service industry with it's 'block level' repair strategy. (I have been in the televison service industry for 32 years and have yet to see a product meet the market 'failure free')
I have not seen any of the laser driven sets yet, so can only express hopeful anticipation.
