Smart-Review Commentary: For 2012, Panasonic has emerged as the leader in 3D Ready Plasma TVs. The Viera ST50 is near the top of the line and comes fully loaded with features. These include an infinite black pro panel and faster switching phosphors which produces great contrast, and will help in making a picture with great colors, with excellent shadow detail. The ST50 is DLNA compliant to allow you to use content from your PC and other devices on your TV. The TC-P50ST50 has an integrated SD card slot and USB ports with which you can show your photos or home videos in full HD on its large screen. The Viera Connect adds internet content to your TV, including Web Browsing, Netflix, Youtube, Skype, Facebook, HuluPlus and more.

The remote control has illuminated keys, making it easier to operate in a darkened room. 3D glasses are required to see 3D content (sold separately). We were impressed by the extremely high consumer/professional ratings on this TV. The Panasonic TC-P50ST50 is great value for the money and a very high quality Plasma TV which is a Smart-Review Top Pick for 2012.
