Conclusion
Editorial Note: This is a review of the Panasonic TC-P50VT20. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the TC-PxxVT20 series. The TC-PxxVT20 series includes the following models: (N/A at time of publication. Sorry.)  Read here for more details on series differences.
The Panasonic TC-P50VT20 ($2499 MSRP) 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 launch, thanks to the glasses and 3D-capable Blu-ray player bundle they're currently offering. Unfortunately, the first examples of new technology are often lackluster, and that certainly seems to be the case with the first batch of 3D HDTVs as well. If you're looking for a new TV, there are better performers out there with a better feature set. If you're looking to jump on the 3D bandwagon, (TelevisionInfo.com's skepticism be damned!), the TC-P50VT20 is the best option as of this review. If you don't mind waiting, however, the Samsung UN55C7000 has somewhat better picture quality, promises a better line-up of online features (though we are, of course, not sure if they'll deliver on these promises).

Overall, we think the best decision is just to wait.
