Panasonic unvails 3D LED TV

Panasonic has homed in on its home cinema onslaught for 2011 with a proposed 10 ranges of Viera TVs, including its first ever 3D LED sets.

The 3D-capable DT30 series heads up a trio of LED ranges, and features IPS Alpha panels, which offer a better viewing angle, scanning rates of just 2ms and allow for a reduction in the cross-talk that afflicts many 3D TVs.

There are two screen sizes to choose from, 37in and 32in, and both are compatible with the Viera Connect web portal for app-downloading. Wi-Fi and DLNA are included, as well as 4 HDMI ports and 3 USB connections.

Aside from a further couple of non-3D LED ranges, a full six of the 10 new lines introduced by the Japanese electronics giant are plasma ranges, a notable reinforcement of Panasonic’s place at the forefront of plasma development.

Head of the pile is the VT30 series, which offers 3D plasma goodness in four screen sizes going up to 65in.

The new sets should be in stores by mid-year, though it’s too soon to talk about prices.
