Panasonic has showcased their flagship VT50 plasma TV model at the CES, but there are also a few more series in plans for this year.

Panasonic has no more than 17 new Plasma TV models for this year that have been spread across six product lines, including the GT50, ST50, XT50, UT50 and U50 as well as the VT50 series we’ve already covered.

Panasonic has probably the most complete offer when it comes to plasma TV technology, featuring different screen sizes and latest technology with each one of their models.

Panasonic GT50 Plasma TV Series

If you can’t afford one of the VT50 models this year, you can consider one of the GT50 models as the next best thing. These are also high-end plasma models featuring 3D capabilities, 1080p Infinite Black Pro, 2500FFD, 24,576 steps of gradation technology as well as 2D-to-3D technology.

The GT50 models will enable you to enjoy Panasonic’s active 3D technology and 3D real sound and make good use of the Viera Connect functionalities that enable you to connect wirelessly to your home network and enjoy content for Internet Streaming Services in the comfort of your armchair.

The Viera Connect functionality will also enable you to browse the web and make use of the social networking features coming with the newly updated service.

All the models in the GT50 series come with HDMI inputs for connectivity with Blu-Ray players and other devices, 3 USB ports and an elegant metallic design.
