The Panasonics TC-P50ST30 series 3D HDTV offers a lot of bang for the buck, but is it enough to entice fence sitters to take the 3D plunge?

The $1400 Panasonic TC-P50ST30 seems like a good deal for a 50-inch 3D HDTV, but the audio and video quality are both lacking, and the set doesn't come with 3D glasses.

Panasonic TC-P50ST30 3D Plasma TV

Panasonic is no newcomer to plasma television. Having developed panels for as long as I can remember, consistency seems to be the company’s mission. Solid. Elegant. Functional. These three words best describe how I’ve felt about Panasonic TVs from the moment I first laid

Stunning black levels and useful internet TV functions make this a fantastic mid-range 3DTV, although the next model up is better value.

The Panasonic ST60 is a very good plasma TV. It doesn't get very bright, but it does a very good job at reducing reflections, as shown in our pictures. Of course...
