Experience the Super Bowl in 3D with These Top TVs

What's the best 3D TV to watch the next NFL Super Bowl on? With many brand name, top of the line 3D TV models coming out this year, the jury is still out. However, narrow the playing field down with the top 3D TV picks for watching the next Super Bowl, touch down action, commercials and more on.

Panasonic 3D TV
Panasonic's top line model for 3D TV is definitely the 2011 version of the VT20 series. It's gotten rave reviews online, especially thanks to its stunning performance at last year's CES in Las Vegas. CNET was especially interested in the 2010 version of this 3D TV, naming it the Best of CES. Its 2011 model is also impressive, at an astounding 65 inches of plasma screen to feast your football fan eyes on. Panasonic has gotten some flack for its design of the 3D glasses included with the TV (2 glasses), due to issues over letting in unnecessary side light and being slightly uncomfortable. However, the VT20 from Panasonic, retailing for around $4,000 (yowza!) is definitely one of the top line models for 3D TVs currently on the market today.

Samsung 3D TV
Samsung's answer to Panasonic VT20 line of 3D TVs is the Samsung PNC8000 series. It's quite the 3D TV, retailing for a fairly affordable $2,000. However, it is not quite as large, coming in at 50 inches and weighing a little over 50 pounds.Like most 3D TVs, is does include streaming Internet service capable of connecting to Netflix, Smart, YouTube, Pandora, Hulu and more. However, concerns have been raised about its energy efficiency (CNET was particularly concerned about that) and some random audio buzzing experienced by a few users. Still, it is hard to beat Samsung's price for a quality 3D TV and the PNC8000 sure appears to be one of the top contenders for best 3D TVs to watch the next Super Bowl on.

Vizio 3D TV
Vizio jumped into the 3D market this year with the 65 inch Vizio Razor XVT3D650SV. It is quite unique for one very important reason: it uses passive 3D TV technology, instead of the active type used in most other major models. What's the big deal? Basically, with a passive tech 3D TV, you don't need $150+ expensive 3D goggles to see the special 3D effects. Instead, you can just wear the included simple polarized lenses included with this Vizio model for the 3D effect. It's probably the direction more and more 3D TVs will take, especially given consumer reluctance over watching TV with extra glasses on. The Razor XVT3D650SV retails for less than the above Panasonic 3D TV at around $3,499 (not cheap but still fairly reasonable). You can even use the same glasses included with this Vizio to watch 3D shows at your local theater, according to the Vizio website!
