If you've always wanted the internet on your 3D TV, this product will provide you with that access. The Panasonic TC-P42GT25 is a net TV that has 3D capabilities. While the apps are limited, you'll still have access to some of the most popular internet apps. This internet TV is unique to the other internet ready TVs because this one has a plasma screen.

This is the only internet ready TV we reviewed that did not come Wi-Fi ready. It has the capacity to be Wi-Fi ready, but it requires an adapter. If you prefer, you can connect your internet connection through the Ethernet cable. The Panasonic TC-P42GT25 comes with ten apps: Amazon, Bloomberg, Fox Sports, Netflix, Pandora, Picasa, Skype1, Twitter, Weather and YouTube. This internet TV doesn't have a full browser, so you'll be limited to the preinstalled apps. Additionally, Panasonic doesn't have an app store.

This 3D internet TV has a plasma screen. This is why the refresh rate is so much higher than all the other TVs we reviewed, with 600Hz. Plasma TVs often have more glare from ambient light, but they also show deeper blacks and lighter lights, as evidenced in the dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1. The Panasonic TC-P42GT25 has a standard HDTV resolution of 1920 x 1080p, and runs at 24 frames per second.

This internet ready TV uses on average 99 watts and is Energy Star approved. The Panasonic TC-P42GT25 has two 10-watt speakers.

Unfortunately, this 42-inch 3D internet TV doesn't come with the 3D glasses. For the 3D technology to work, you'll need to wear 3D glasses. You can purchase them individually.

You can't conduct a search from your Panasonic TC-P42GT25 that will search your LAN, TV and internet apps at the same time. You'll have to search each separately.
