Slashdot linked up news of a new TV technology supposedly due to premiere in time for Christmas:

Soon-to-be-listed Australian company Arasor International and its US partner Novalux unveiled what they claimed to be the world's first laser television in Sydney, with a pitch that it will be half the price, twice as good, and use a quarter of the electricity of conventional plasma and LCD TVs.

If it really is all that and a bag of chips, color me happy that we've held out for so long on pulling the trigger on a big TV purchase. I won't say "ha-ha" to those who have, because they've spent all this time watching their big fancy TVs while we've been plugging along with our 27"-er.

I'll have to keep an eye on this one. Ain't market economics grand?
