That rang a bell....
Lower-priced, consumer-grade laser panels use a panel of LEDs to
generate the laser beams, one for each pixel across the page, rather
than the more expensive single laser and mirror system. There are only
600 LEDs to the inch, whereas the laser/mirror setup can go to far
higher resolutions with more precise machinery.
