Built-in wifi is also a huge plus and was a cinch to set up.

Black levels on the UT50 series are about the same as what we saw on the superb flagship TC-P55VT30 a year ago, which is almost unbelievable in such a cheap TV, and while the sparse color controls give little wiggle room, color accuracy isn't an issue.

Like all 2012 Panasonic active-3D TVs the GT50 complies with the Full HD 3D standard, so in addition to Panasonic's own 2012 specs it also plays well with others, namely the $20 Samsungs.

In practical terms that means other companies' glasses that also support the standard should work with this Panasonic; Samsung's $20 SSG-4100GB glasses do, for example.

The 2D to 3D conversion works ok, but it isn't as good as a pure 3D movie.
Rated 100% by by Robert-Eastman (Jun, 2012)
The TV's sound is basic and really needs a surround sound to enjoy true sound quality.

The 3D, with good 3D movies is great.

Great motion resolution and if you're inclined it even has 3D.
Rated 100% by by RH512 (Apr, 2012)
I would give this television 4 stars because you are compelled to use Panasonic branded products for the 3d glasses and the wireless internet, but the Panasonic Branded accessories are excellent, and well worth the money.

Panasonic has been putting out plasma's for many years and this is yet another great example of why I'll always choose plasma over LED/LCD any day.

sharpness

Blacks are blacks on the UT50/ ST50 but on the GT50 it's BLACK with DETAIL!
