These new TVs come with a plasma screen that uses active 3D technology, and are available in 50'' and 65'' versions. According to Panasonic, its Infinite Black Pro technology should allow them to reach a contrast ratio of 5 000 000:1. To get the full 3D effect, everybody who's watching will need a pair of glasses that are compatible with the TV in question. And the good news is that, unlike the that we tested recently, the VT20 comes with two pairs of battery-powered glasses. If there are any more than two of you, though, you'll to buy some more; they cost around £150 a pair. At that price, we'd expect some pretty solid glasses, and although they're a notch above Samsung's, Panasonic's still don't have the flexible rubber arms that are more comfortable to wear. You can expect them to pinch in above your ears, especially if you have a large head. For the time being, it's still too early for a lot of 3D content readily available, which is why some manufacturers have devised a system of 2D to 3D conversation meaning you can watch TV programmes, DVDs or regular Blu-ray discs in 3D. For a lot of people, this is currently the main source of 3D content. Panasonic didn't think the time was right to include this system on its first 3D TV though.
The Panasonic Viera TX-P50VT20 is Panasonic's first 3D TV, and it's a belter.Samsung may have (just) beaten Panasonic in the race to put 3D TVs on the high-street, with its range of LCD and LED-backlit 3D screens, but the Japanese giant's arrival is perhaps more portentous.The brand was the first major advocate for the format, masterminding the AVC Multiview codec now adopted as the standard to encode 3D Blu-ray movies, and famously sidling up alongside James Cameron when his Avatar project was looking more folly than phenomenon.Key featuresThe new 3D screen shares much in common with the brand's 2D TX-P50G20. The bezel colour is different, here it's a dark bronze with silver-effect trim, but beneath the hood is much of the same picture-processing electronics, allied to a lookalike NeoPDP screen.The TX-P50VT20 is one of only two 3D screens due from Panasonic this summer. It will be joined by the 65-inch TX-P65VT20, expected to sell for around twice the price. There is no difference between the two, bar the size of the glass. So how does its first consumer 3D screen, the 50-inch TX-P50VT20, look – and does it have more to offer than just a couple of pairs of funny glasses?
