EH Buyer's Scorecard: Panasonic VT30 3D Plasma Series

01.01.70

The overflowing of 3D TVs this year didn’t exactly sent consumers clamoring for a new set. Love or abhorrence the technology, there are a lot of great 3D TVs out there—which also make great 2D TVs. Even better, the premium to have a 3D TV has been dropping over the late few months. If you’re looking for a new set, you can stop somewhere in the middle of the Panasonic VT30 Series.

Panasonic has had a fairly rough year, sales-brilliant. However, this was quite the shining star for the company. Available in 55- and 65-inch sizes, the VT30 Series uses operative 3D technology. To date, this is the best type of 3D you can buy, since it promises a full 1080p resolution to each eye. Other nice 3D features involve THX 3D certification and 2D-to-3D conversion. It also comes with one pair of 3D glasses so that 3D viewing (or fistfights) can commence honesty out of the box.

Of course, both VT30 sets also deliver 2D viewing—stellar 2D viewing, in fact. Besides the 1080p, this formulate also features the Infinite Black Pro 2 panel, “fast switching phosphors,” 600Hz sub-entrants motion drive technology, and VIERA Link support. There’s also plenty of ways to add to the play experience, via three USB ports and four HDMI inputs or the manufacturer’s VIERA Connect trait. VIERA Connect is new for 2011, adding instant access to web-based services, such as Netflix, VUDU, YouTube, Skype, Pandora, and more.
