Will plasma beat LCD in the 3D quality stakes?


Panasonic has come true to its 3D word and shown off its upcoming range of 3D plasma screens at CES 2010.
For the company, this year's CES is all about 3D, with Panasonic pushing the fact that it has a whole end-to-end 3D eco system – from camera to television. But what consumers really care about is what 3D will look like, and you can take it from us, on the VT25, it is stunning.
We spoke to Panasonic about why it felt that plasma was a better proposition for 3D (bearing in mind that Sony has chosen LCD) and it told us that blacks were blacker and faster response times mean less blurring.
When we mentioned that plasma seems to be phasing out now that LCD TVs can handle 50-inch plus screen sizes, Panasonic assured us that plasma isn't going away, if anything it's getting better.
Coming in 50, 55 and 60-inch flavours, the VT25 is a beautiful TV and one which takes over from the V10 range of last year.

The glasses used were active shutter and while we pushed Panasonic to tell us if they were the ones to be given away with the TVs they were hesitant to say yes.
However, built around Panasonic's Full HD 3D proprietary technology, they definitely compete well with RealD's glasses, which have been picked up by Sony and the like.

2010 is the year that decent 3D in the home becomes a reality, and watching content on the VT25, it's hard not to be seduced by what's happening in the other dimension.
