hi david katz my from cnet and I'm with the panasonic tc-p st50 series this is the company's least expensive 1080p 3d TV that has their neo PDP panels this is kind of the beginning of the really good panel for this TV it's a successor to the st 30 from last year which is one of our very favorite tvs in terms of price to picture quality ratios so we kind of expect the same thing out of the st 50 this year i've been told that this TV has a new improved panel which equates to slightly better black levels we're also going to probably see some better motion resolution on this TV although mesh most revolution wasn't a problem last year this set also has a completely new processing which again should improve the picture quality of a certain extent of course this TV also has new filter for the screen so it actually rejects ambient light a little bit better design-wise they made some really good improvements the st 30 last year was a little bit ugly this one it's a little bit nicer with a thinner design around the screen thinner panel / also if design was your hang-up on the st 30 last year like it kind of was me this one really solves that problem this TV series is available in the 50 55 60 and 65 sizes so covers that full range it drops the 42 and 46 from last year but have to step down to the UT 50 for that panasonic also through its VIERA Connect features onto the CD which is internet capability you can do some new things with it this year including a tablet app and a pc app you can throw web pages and apps back and forth between the app and the TV there's also a full suite of streaming services as available last year and finally of course the st 50 is 3d compatible that's active 3d not passive panasonic does not include any active 3d glasses on this TV however that's a quick look at the panasonic tc-p st 50 series i'm david katz meijer from CES 2012 you
