That may be so but at what cost, both arms my right leg and my first born probably.

"...compared to plasma and LCD, laser TV technology boasts half the production cost, double the color range, and three-quarters less power consumption."

Which would seem to indicate it would be cheaper in the long run. No doubt the first couple of years would see development cost and we have no idea what the longevity of the set will be. Early adopters will essentially be beta testers. Is very interesting though and since everyone keeps telling me my Sony SXRD is "unreliable" I guess its something I should keep my eyes on.

Well CRT/Tube is still the winner for the absolute best picture quality. LCDs are starting to improve by the day. I know Sharp is releasing an LCD with triple the refresh rate and 20,000 to 1 contrast ratio. So hopefully the picture quality will atleast be equal to a CRT.

The best tv for picture quality is still the sony 34' xbr960 with super fine pitch tube but unfortunately they have a high failure rate. It also weighs a whopping 200 lbs. The 970 came out without the super fine pitch tube which was a disappointment.

i think I heard that pioneer is coming out with an advanced plasma technology, that might even outperform CRT/tube.

Anyways this laser tech will probably way overpriced.

so there is point to wait for 1080p HDTV till middle of 2008. =)

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues
