The first of Panasonic's 2011 3D TVs have arrived, as part of the ST30 Series. This is the company's entry-level line of 3D-capable plasmas, and it includes screen sizes of 65, 60, 55, 50, 46, and 42 inches (as of this writing, the 65- and 60-inchers are not yet available). We have not performed a hands-on review of the TC-P55ST30, but here is an overview of its features. This 55-inch, 1080p 3D plasma requires the use of active-shutter 3D glasses (sold separately, $150 to $180 apiece) to view 3D content; the sync transmitter that allows the glasses to sync with the TV is integrated into the TV's front panel. The TC-P55ST30 supports 2D-to-3D conversion, which generates a 3D effect from standard 2D content.
