Panasonic’s 50-inch 1080p 3D plasma spotted, watched at CEATEC

At this point, Panasonic’s 50-inch 3D plasma is just another one joining the fray, but considering how highly hyped the technology behind this was, we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to throw our eyes on it for a bit at CEATEC. The 1080p panel was strikingly thin (or well mounted to give that impression), and the viewing angles were fantastic. The glasses that Panny provided, however, were relatively annoying (no surprise there). It should be noted that the actual spectacles sit pretty far off of your face, which simultaneously enables those with actual glasses to partake in the 3D experience while frustrating those without by giving them a cute blue rim that refuses to leave the periphery. As for image quality, the G-Force demo looked downright stunning, with depth being easily perceived and fast moving action whisking about seamlessly. Still, we’re having a hard time believing a family of four would sit down and use these glasses for a two-hour presentation, but hey, we’re not going to give up on the marketing squads just yet.
