Panasonic Adds New, Larger 3D TVs To Line Up

The company's Japan-only plans include the release of two new TVs. These additions to Panasonic's popular Viera range include a 58-inch model (TH-P58VT2) and a larger 65-inch set (TH-P65VT2).

Panasonic says the new Japanese Viera models will be on sale starting May 28.

Glasses Required

All of Panasonic's new 3D plasmas will require the viewer to wear the companies active shutter glasses (pictured) in order to enjoy the third dimension enabled by these TVs. Thankfully, for those who do take the plunge and buy one of Panasonics latest, a free pair of glasses will be included. Additional pairs can be bought for around $149 each--a cost which would quickly become a hefty investment for the larger families who want in on the 3D action.

Beyond the included pair of active shutter glasses, the new Vieras have a USB port for playing multimedia content, and an ethernet port for access to Internet-based services such as Skype.
