It may be one of the best kept secrets in the TV business: plasma TVs actually have a better picture than LED/LCD TVs under most viewing conditions. And of the makers of plasma TVs, Panasonic is well known for offering amazing picture performance for reasonable prices. And that amazing performance just got even more reasonable as Amazon is offering Panasonic's VT60 series plasma TVs on Cyber Monday for about 35% off list. This includes the flagship 65-inch model, the TC-P65VT60. The price on this behemoth is now just $2149 with free shipping, a full $250 below yesterday's already low price and $1150 below list. And with Amazon's 2% TV Rewards, you'll get an additional $42.98 back as an Amazon credit 35 days after purchasing it.

The VT60 series is Panasonic's best yet, with incredible black levels and deep gorgeous color saturation. We've had one in the BPBS labs for a few months and it is the first TV to really challenge the previous king of picture quality, the Pioneer Kuro plasma. And like Pioneer, Panasonic recently announced it will stop making plasma TVs next year, so this may be your last chance to pick one up before they start being coveted by collectors. Don't worry, Panasonic will be around to service the TVs for years to come, but there won't be a better Panasonic plasma in 2014.
In addition to deep blacks and rich, saturated, accurate colors, the VT60 series sets also offer excellent motion performance and a special screen formulation which minimizes interference from ambient room light.
The VT60 series is also a fully functional "Smart TV," with built-in WiFi networking and all of the popular streaming apps including Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Pandora, VUDU, YouTube and Hulu Plus. With the built-in video camera you can even make Skype video calls for free to friends and family all over the world.
The discounted price applies to all three sizes of the VT60 (55-inch, 60-inch and 65-inch) but we'd recommend the 65-incher for the most immersive and cinematic experience.
Pick one up now because when they're gone, Panasonic won't be making any more:
