The Panasonic Viera TH-P54VT is the first model to get official pricing from Panasonic, and it comes to just about $5,900. The Panasonic Viera 3DTVs are priced to sell roughly $800 more per unit than the top-of-the-line 2D TVs in the company’s lineup. Something to keep in mind is that the 54-inch Panasonic Viera TH-P54VT won’t be the base model 3DTV that Panasonic will push, the price of the smaller 50-inch model shouldn’t be that much different. Of course, this is pricey, but if you recall how much flat screen LCD’s were when they first came out, it should bring some solace. Expect these prices to drop in the next few years.

Gizmodo’s Mark Wilson considered the Panasonic 3DTV to be almost as good as the LG 3DTV prototype. With the update in price, the Panasonic 3DTV will beat that LG to the market, being one of the first 3DTVs in this quality range to be available to those early adopters.
