Panasonic VIERA TC-P55VT60 Pro Reviews

The VT60 is a marvel in engineering and Panasonic deserves a huge pat on the back for producing such a quality product. Although it lacks the bright-room performance abilities of its more expensive cousin, you’d never know the difference in a dark room. That it comes in a little less expensive than the ZT60 is also pretty compelling, though there’s no getting around the fact that we’re talking about an expensive TV here. Yes, the VT60 is expensive. At the time this article was written, the 60-inch model is listed at $3,000 (vs $3,500 for the ZT60), but is selling for about $2,650 online. The 55-inch model we tested goes for even less at about $2,300. Add that to the fact that you can only get the ZT60 at Magnolia outlets in Best Buy stores through the end of July, and there are enough reasons that folks will opt for the less expensive version. Just because it is less expensive doesn’t mean it’s a lesser TV, though. The VT60 is totally outstanding and easily earns our Editor’s Choice award.

The Panasonic VT60 has one of the best pictures of any TV we've ever reviewed, but it's soon to face some tough competition.
