The editors didn't like

  • There is no 2D to 3D conversion.
  • Plasma TVs generally aren't as bright as LCDs and therefore aren't the best choice for a really bright room with lots of potential light reflections

  • The Panasonic TC-P50VT20 didn't exactly wow us. It's picture quality was average, its online content was fairly sparse, and it's 3D experience doesn't seem particularly robust. Don't get us wrong: we're grateful you can actually watch 3D on it at lau...

  • The huge 1920 x 1080 screen produces fantastic black level response and punchy, deep contrast. Performance is exceptional in 2D mode, and there’s only a slight hit to picture brightness and contrast when you switch to 3D. In fact, 3D pictures are more watchable (if a little less bright) here than on large LCD and LED 3D TVs, mainly thanks to low levels of crosstalk ghosting – the line-doubling ef
  • The sheer size of this telly means that any picture issues are easy to spot: there is slightly more 3D crosstalk than on Panasonic’s 50-inch plasmas, and despite some classy upscaling tech inside standard definition content can lack detail.
