Plasma televisions have been around for quite some time now and are often compared with LCD and LEDs. But because of price and high power consumption, they have really not hit that well with the viewers. This 65-inch plasma TV from Panasonic is anything but slim, at 6 cm and 63 kg in weight, like your LED TVs. The Panasonic Viera P65VT30D is the 65-inch plasma under discussion for its stunning offerings and 3D features.

It is made of a single sheet of glass and looks an elegant piece of technology. Cooling has been taken care of by the four fans located in the back panel. The other controls are placed on the right side of the screen and the input and output connectors are located at the back, so connections will remain accessible even if it is mounted. The options include a SD card slot, a digital audio out port, USB ports, HDMI ports, RCA connector for traditional cable TV connections, Ethernet port and other ports.

One could say that this TV is soothing to the eyes and that is what you want in a viewing device. The P65VT30D supports 3D glasses that give good viewing but require regular charging. Two 3D glasses are available with it. The glossy screen catches smudges very easily and reflects a lot too.

Panasonic P65VT30D uses NeoPlasma panel that consumes less power and offer better picture quality in 2D and 3D from different viewing angles. The TV also has capabilities, such as Viera Connect, DLNA, stunning sound quality to match the rest, the display quality. It may seem expensive at R3.75 lakh, but its performance is far better than LED TVs.

Nevertheless, the 3D experience of plasma is to die for. You will not experience a discomfort even after long hours of viewing. So enjoy watching your favourite movies, that too with a 3D view.
