There is a new startup company called HDI. The CEO has been building 3D displays for over 20 years. He knows his stuff. They have managed to build a Laser powered HDTV that displays 3D pictures at over 1000 frames per second (in parallel).

Why is that a big deal? First off the colors are suppose to be better then any technology (using the lasers) to date to power the picture. Second, it allows for them to incorporate 3D like no other TV has before.

Even the new 3D technology in theaters alternates frames between each eye (we are not talking about the old multi-colored cheap 3D method). This can cause some disorientation (some people headaches) and you give up some smoothness of picture because of alternating frames. However, the speed is so fast with this new technology that alternating frames is no longer needed. This is the future of home 3D technology IMO. What these guys have done sounds like it beats anything that any of the other manufacturers are working on.

Check it out below.

Mitsubishi has been working on this for over 5 years. They have barely been able to get it working. Should be interesting.

One distinct difference. Mits has been working on the same technology that they currently use in theaters (alternating frames between eyes). They have been focused on copying the same new technology (Real 3D, True3d, Disney 3d) being used now. This is new. This is the first 3D technology that doesn't require alternating frames (in parallel).
