Introduction

The Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30 ($1499 MSRP) is a 50-inch plasma, and a second-gen 3D TV. Panasonic managed several improvements this time around, and once again, we're convinced that plasmas are far superior to LCDs for active shutter 3D. Unfortunately, this TV had some issues with other performance aspects that keep it from being as good as it could have been.
