The Panasonic TC-P50VT20 is the second 3D HDTV to hit the scene, but it's actually showing up with all the necessary gear: it's currently being offered as a bundle with a set of 3D glasses and a 3D-capable Blu-ray player. While this bundle makes the TC-P50VT20 the best option for 3D if you need to have it right this second, we'd think it might be smarter to give the first wave of this technology a pass.

Televisioninfo.com is currently in possession of the only two commercially available 3D HDTVs in the country, the Samsung UN55C7000 and the Panasonic TC-P50VT20. Much to the chagrin of our editors (and anyone else that bought them), the Samsung does not come with the necessary 3D glasses. So what's the workaround?

The Toshiba Regza 42ZV650U ($1299 MSRP) is designed to be a television for enthusiasts that's also inexpensive for those on a budget. The Toshiba 42ZV650U, a 42-inch LCD, is jam-packed with special features for tweaking color, motion, and processing. Most of these features can do more damage than good, but tech heads will enjoy creating the elusive "perfect setting." 

The Sony KDL-46EX700 is the first of the 2010 models we've gotten in, and if it's any indication, this is going to be a good year for HDTVs. It's not that the KDL-46EX700 offers that much more than its predecessors, and it isn't nearly as feature-packed as some of the other TVs we saw at CES, but it does boast  solid improvements in almost every area.

The KDL-46EX700 is currently available for about $1700.

The LG 50PQ30 is an entry-level plasma with a 50-inch screen and 1080p resolution. Even though it's a lower end set, the 50PQ30 got some decent test scores. While the TV is very light on the features, it's incredibly inexpensive for its size: $798.99.
