The Panasonic TX-P50VT30B is part of Panasonic's latest range of 3D Televisions building on the previous generation and is part of Panasonic's new HighLine range of televisions. Utilising a single sheet of glass, the VT30 Series of Panasonic 3D Televisions create a stunning frameless design that can only be compared to an Apple iPhone. The 'one sheet of glass' design from Panasonic was created to deliver the best image quality possible.
The Panasonic TX-P50VT30B builds on the success of the previous generation of televisions and introduces numerous of new technologies and enhancements. This 50 Inch 3D Plasma Television utilises Active 3D Technology, whereby the Active 3D Glasses (Two pairs included : TY-EW3D2ME) do the magic to allow you to view the images displayed on the screen in 3D. Anti-crosstalk technology is used with the VT30 Series of television to minimize common crosstalk issues in 3D. This done by detecting when left images are displayed on the right image and is optimised to remove this information to provide a clear 3D image.
Panasonic's Active 3D Glasses operate wirelessly from the 3D Plasma TV and display one Full HD 1080p image per eye to give a Full HD 3D experience. The glasses are stylish, comfortable and now re-chargeable meaning that you no longer need to replace batteries after a few dozen films. The glasses have been updated and now come in three form factors to suit any size of head. Large(TY-EW3D2LE), Medium(TY-EW3D2ME) and Small(TY-EW3D2SE) which are perfect for children to wear.
Panasonic's Active 3D Glasses feature high-speed shutters to prevent light leakage. Highly precise timing control for the opening and closing of the shutters minimises unwanted light leakage to enable clear 3D viewing. The remarkable beauty of the Full HD 3D images is further ensured by VIERA 3D TVs and 3D Eyewear to achieve precisely linked operation.

THX certification is a quality assurance certification to ensure that the content viewed on the VT30B Series of television is accurately reproduced to what the directors intended.

The result is a received 50 Hz signal is improved to 100Hz and analyzed 6 times to provide a high motion rate. Furthermore with a fast switching phosphors this allows the VT30 Televisions to display a single frame image for the time required.
The Panasonic TX-P50VT30B utilises Infinite Black PRO and High Contrast Filter PRO is the process of producing the deepest blacks and highest contrast possible on any Television. The new VIERA models, contrast and black levels have been significantly improved especially in bright surroundings. Enhancements to the panel and cells help reproduce images with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks. In movies, the true, deep blacks faithfully convey the intent of the filmmakers, adding power and realism to the viewing experience.
