OLED VS Lasers

[Flatnate]

Well I think things are going to get interesting on the projector side of things for sure as new technologies begin to shove lamps in to obsolescence. If you go to the AVS forum store AV Science you'll find a neat write up on some of the work Kodak is doing on the new laser powered DCI cinema projector. Its essentially a 3 chip dlp machine with lasers for each color. Much of their work seems to be eliminating the "spackle" or sparkleyness you get with using lasers as a light source and it sounds like they have their tech pretty well polished and ready for the market. Another company called Laser Light Engines is forming a partnership with IMAX to make what seems like a very similar product geared at the large venue Digital Cinema market. I think LED will get more powerful and really take foot in the consumer market and at some projector horsepower point you will begin to see dominance of laser powered machines essentially using LCOS or DLP internals in the same fashion.

Oooh, I find this more exciting to watch mature than 3d tech. I am basically holding on to my JVC until this stuff matures and comes down in price. I figure there is no way my next projector should have a lamp (unless I win the lotto next week and want to run say a 150 inch screen).
