At A Glance
The Panasonic TC-P65ST30 seems like a good deal for a 65-inch 3D HDTV, but the audio and video quality are both lacking, and the set doesn't come with 3D glasses.
Manufacturer’s Description
FULL HD 3D Infuses Reality into Every Image: Panasonic uses full-HD sequential playback to achieve a level of reality that far exceeds conventional 3D systems. Called the Frame Sequential Method, it's the same method that is used in Hollywood's 3D films. Crisp, Clear Moving Pictures: Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data, and each frame is virtually displayed in a shorter length of time than in previous 600Hz systems, to create crisp images.
