CNET Review
The Good: Superior black-level performance and excellent shadow detail; accurate primary colors in THX mode; great color saturation; effective antireflective screen; reproduces 1080p/24 cadence properly; VieraCast provides access to select Internet services and improved customization; solid 3D picture quality; includes 3D glasses.
The Bad: Relatively expensive; last year's Panasonic plasmas lost black-level performance over relatively short periods of time; non-adjustable grayscale in THX mode; some artifacts in 1080p/24 mode; fewer streaming services and apps than the competition; uses more power than LCDs and newer plasmas.
The Bottom Line: With both 2D and 3D sources, Panasonic's flagship TC-PVT20/25 series plasma TV delivers outstanding overall picture quality.

Review Summary: Panasonic Viera TC-P50VT25 Plasma TV. An improvement over the VT10 line of the previous year, the VT25 series includes the 3D feature along with highly developed technology. The 600 Hz sub field drive is the main reason for the superb picture quality...
The Verdict: Bottom-line: It doesn’t matter how beautiful the picture was if it only lasted 5 days, 5 months, or especially 5 days after the warranty period expired. Given that I haven’t found another 3D TV that doesn’t have an issue with ghosting (double-image),...

The Verdict: Panasonic promised to roll out a number of 3D products this year, so the TC-P65VT25 is a fairly expected release. With a number of manufacturers releasing 3D HDTVs this year the TC-P65VT25 appears to have a lot of stiff competition. As a result, it may...
