Panasonic has just announced something pretty good for the UK if you're into the whole 3D hype. The company has announced that they're going to be releasing the 32-inch (TX-L32DT30) and 37-inch (TX-L37DT30) 3D LED TVs in May of this year. Both of these TVs are packing IPS displays so you'll be able to watch them at pretty much any viewing angle you want to. Both of the TVs also come with Viera Connect Internet access as well as social networking apps and WiFi / DLNA support. Of course, they all pack their own share of HDMI ports, three USB ports, and even a VGA. Price hasn't been mentioned yet.

The company also plans to launch their new VT30 3D plasma TVs in 42, 50, 55, and 65-inch models. They also plan to launch a whole bunch of new LCD HDTVs as well.

A new and unannounced 65-inch Vizio edge-lit LED 3DTV has just hit the website for $3,699. It's expensive but the major companies (like Samsung or Sony) would be releasing it for a lot more because Vizio does tend to have their prices much lower than everyone else. The display is polarized so you'll get to use passive 3D glasses which are much cheaper to buy [separately] than active shutter 3D glasses so that's great news. Check it out on Vizio if you're interested.

LG is set to unveil something pretty amazing and likely quite expensive at IFA 2010 in a couple of days. What you see above is the LG LEX8 which sports Nano LED backlighting and it'll be a 3DTV. This will be the slimmest LED TV in the world with its .88cm thick body along with a 1.25cm bezel, unless some other company steals the show. This 3DTV will, of course, have support for LG's NetCast widgets and will also come with the new Magic Motion remote. It'll be hitting Germany and Korea sometime next month (September), but the price is still unknown.

Samsung has just announced three model 3DTVs that you may be interested in - even though the content is lacking right now.
