The BT-3DL2550 25.5" 3D LCD Video Monitor is a rugged, high-end production monitor offering a 1920 x 1200 display and the ability to monitor high-definition 3D video both in the studio or in the field. Its assortment of professional inputs--dual HD/SD-SDI, DVI, component, RGB--timecode display, and 8-channel audio metering provide the flexibility necessary for monitoring 3D footage directly from a Panasonic 3D camera, high-end NLE system, or any other professional interface. The included polarizing glasses let you view the footage in full 3D, using one of 3 types of input: simultaneous Left and Right signals (separated across two monitors), line-by-line alternating Left and Right signals, or side-by-side images on a single display.
Other useful features include five customizable function keys, pre-installed calibration software, Cine-gamma Film-Rec compensation, Standard Markers and Blue-only, H/V delay display, monochrome and Cross Hatch overlay display, and split-screen/freeze frame--all contained within a lightweight, ruggedized frame with an aluminum alloy back panel designed with VESA-mount compatibility.

Comments about Panasonic BT-3DL2550 25.5" 3D LCD Video Monitor:
Picture quality and versatility on this monitor are great. The cross hatch feature is very handy when adjusting paralax for a given shot. The one thing I think that needs work is the very narrow viewing angle for the passive 3D. The 3D quality is great...when your eyes are centered on the screen. When showing the video to multiple people at the same time, it is hard for them to see the full 3D effect without their heads bumping together. Also, the lack of an HDMI input for working with devices that have two lenses onboard, leaves me wanting a little bit. When using DVI as an input, you have very limited options for refresh rates, screen dimensions, and other features when hooking the monitor up to a computer-based edit suite.
I took away only one star for the things listed above because, despite those items, it is a great monitor. Its flexibility, and so far, durability, when compared to other models, is pretty good. With the numerous screw holes in the back, we were able to purchase a mount to hook the screen to a j-stand for shoots, although the built-in base is sufficient when a table or cart are available.
