TV Duel: Is a Samsung LCD or a Panasonic Plasma Better for 3D TV?

It's hardly the first time we've looked at the rivalry between LCD and plasma TVs, but is one technology perhaps more suited to 3D than the other?  To find out, we've put two heavyweights from either side of the divide up against each other.

On the left, we have the Samsung UE46C700, with its 3D LCD display and lateral LED backlighting.  Along with the Sony Bravia 40EX503, one of most popular TV reviews of the moment.

On the right, the Panasonic Viera TX-P50VT20, a plasma 3D TV, with Infinite Black Pro for incredible contrast and very wide viewing angles.
