LG will soon have company in the Passive 3D TV sphere with another big name company Panasonic all set to launch a 3D TV based on the Passive 3D technology. To be available in 32, 37, 42, 47 and 55 inch display area, the Viera ET 5 3D TV boasts of IPS LCD panels of the same type that we have come to see on the Apple iPad tablet device. What’s more, the LCD panels are a Panasonic in-house development and come with all the usual goodies that we have adored on the iPad. These include a wide 178° viewing angle, low power consumption and a faster response time.

However, on the flip side, the Viera ET 5 has a lower 720p resolution 3D content which is far from what we get to see on a active 3D tech based TV. Having said that, the Viera ET 5 3D TV still retains its appeal owing to a supposedly lower price tag that the TV will sport. Panasonic is yet to reveal the pricing for the TV though that it won’t burn a hole in a pocket is evident in what a company executive revealed as the TV being pushed as a “entry level 3D TV” for “casual 3D users”.
