Finally, after a month, i could find some time to update my personal experience using 55WT50 - Panasonic Flagship LED TV
Almost all the reviews on 55WT50 pointed one thing, having the hefty price tag, TV did not have deep Black Level performance compared to its competitors in its price range(MRP 2,73,000Rs).. when you keep the LOCAL DIMMING feature OFF.
After too much of goggling, I went ahead with this purchase for below reasons:
1. Since, Local Dimming is already available on this TV(that too screen size is divided into 16 blocks and black is controlled locally), why would you want to switch if OFF?? i always keep it ON.. and results Excellent BLACK Levels on HD Channels PQ.
2. Excellent 3D.
3. On Offer, bought this TV for almost half the price on MRP.
I'm very much happy with the purchase.
Excellent features:
3D Picture experience is impressive
I tested the 2D picture for a month using all of my video sources particularly 700mb downloaded movies are played very well.. It's exceptional--crisp, clear, and beautiful.
SMART is great, swipe and share is very easy to use.
Activated Videocon D2H, Now watching only HD Channels
Yep after watching HD cannot go back to SD Channel.. May be my eyes got used to HD Now.
SMART Features:
We can configure the SMART Home screen, what all apps should sit in the front page. Which on SMART Home screen, when selecting the apps, whatever is currently playing on the TV will still be playing in a small window in the middle - Good One here.
Swipe and Share - No question, this is excellent.
This TV is powered by Dual Core, so there is not much lag when doing swipe and share media contents from mobile phones.
when we have opened Two apps, switching between the apps is very clean

Overall this is an excellent TV. The 2D picture is remarkable and 3D is impressive.

SNAPS: from my SetUp
When the screen is switched OFF --> This is how the screen is, Clear black
Thanks to ClearPro Panel
Black level when playing some HD Channel
I think, i have to improve my picture settings here to get proper shadow details rt? im fine with Black here but feel some how the shadow details are lost.
on Normal mode, this is the setting.. copied from my friend LED TV
Coming to the number of HDMI/USB Ports -> this TV is provided with 4 HDMI and 3 USB Ports,, good i can always keep my wireless Keyboard connected for smart features.
When playing HD Contents,
I Like the lamp shadow on the wall
shown very nicely.
Panasonic Logo in the bottom of the frame is LED Illuminated
Please let me know, if you have any standard screen setting to improve the PQ on screen... Planning for TV Calibration, waiting for someone who will land Bangalore only on 16th.
