Whatâs not so great
This model has several lesser picture controls than its competitors and always has higher power consumption that may increase your power bills. Also, the 3D glasses are not provided along with this product, therefore you might have to pay extra for this feature. Along with this if you want to use Skype Camera, you will firstly have to buy that for yourself. All these things may burn a hole in your pocket. Another potential downfall is the fact that its 3D images are dimmer than the 2D images although the wide viewing angle constantly tries to compensate for that.

This impressive 3D Plasma television set has high definition picture quality and clarity for 2D but goes a little dim for 3D. Apart from this, it offers good connectivity and dedicated web browsing for those who wish to share and stay connected.
Verdict
Overall this product is good. 2D images are surely good, in fact better than the competitors and the design is well built. At the same time, internet connectivity and social connectivity is a cherry on the top. But 3D images are little dim and if you want to watch 3D, you will have to shed extra money for the 3D glasses. If these glasses are provided along with a supplementary pair, then this product would rein the market.
