Panasonic TC-P50GT25
This superb black-level performance; accurate primary colors in THX mode; fantastic color saturation; effective antireflective screen; uses less power than previous 1080p plasmas; Viera Cast provides access to select Internet services and improved customization; includes 2D to 3D conversion.
But, it cannot properly handle 1080p/24 sources; loses some black-level performance over time; introduces artifacts in 3D mode; fewer streaming services and apps than the competition; uses more power than LCDs; does not include 3D glasses.
You should know that although it does deliver brilliant 2D picture quality, the 3D-compatible Panasonic TC-PGT25 series can’t match the overall performance of the competition’s best plasmas.
