Finally making the transition from the trade show floor (http://hd.engadget.com/2009/10/06/panasonics-50-inch-1080p-3d-plasma-spotted-watched-at-ceatec/) to retail shelving are Panasonic's famed Viera 3D plasma HDTVs.

Don't worry though, the screens are capable of working at the necessary 120Hz to ensure smooth frame rates for each eye. Whether the premium paid for 3D is worth it, on the other hand, remains a question best left for each deep-pocketed consumer to make on his own.Continue reading Panasonic TH-P54VT2 takes plasma HDTVs into 3D territory (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/panasonic-th-p54vt2-takes-plasma-hdtvs-into-3d-territory/)
