Are there Adds on Panasonic TV's? I heard about a visa advertisement on the volume UI, and videos on the app page.

Yes there are but only when you turn the tv on - I've never paid attention. And it's only when you turn on the tv.

As others have mentioned, you do see a Viera Connect ad when you turn on the TV but you can disable this by going to Setup, Advanced Setup, Viera Connect Banner, then select 'Off.'

Hi Dwight, Sometimes when you adjust the volume, a small ad shows up, not a big deal at all. The only videos I see on the app page is a small screen in the middle showing the current program you are watching at the time you click the internet button.

The only place I have seen ads is on the internet home screen (accessed by clicking 'Internet' on the remote). It's very small and consists only of images; there's no audio or video to it. I haven't found it to be at all bothersome. On a side note, I LOVE this TV and highly recommend it.

once in a while for a second no more than a second when changing volume. Also for a second when first turning on. Nothing to not get the tv over. I havn't seen any videos.

Yes, there are. Quite annoying really. You pay top dollar for a high quality tv and they put adds as if it was a cheap kindle.

I've never noticed it and you can disable ads in the settings tab which was one of the first things I did. it's been a month+ since owning this TV and the picture quality is exceptional

Penelope, I checked the Operating Instructions handbook and didn't find hearing aide in the index or text. If it's mentioned, it's buried in the text although I looked. Therefore I'd say it's not compatible unless you get solid confirmation. How about asking Panasonic?

You can try going into Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound/Manage Audio Devices. You may see speakers and headphones and if you're lucky, you may see your TV is listed. Worth a try.

Yes, I have it hooked up to a Panasonic and it definitely helps. It won't provide much of a surround sound effect but the overall sound is excellent, I'm happy with it.

I own the Panasonic, so obviously I'm biased. Worth noting that the 54" V10 has just been crowned the King of HDTVs...Buy the Panny. If nothing else, their customer service is WORLDS better than Samsung.

They denied mine. I mailed in my stuff a few weeks ago as I had a death in the family to deal with last month(but still within the allowed time) and they said I missed the postmark date. According to the rebate form I had until April 9th, 2011 for that postmark and they entered it yesterday Mar. 7th and I was late? Even though I got a good deal on the player this does sour me a bit on Panasonic.

I just checked out their website and they have most of the latest releases, as well as 3 different quality formats, SD, HD and HDX which is better than regular HD. Their prices are the same as Amazon and CinemaNow, not sure why you think their prices are so bad? Panasonic has Amazon VOD in case you're interested.

It came with Panasonic 3D and I also got another 2 pair made by another company but i only used it couple of times. The reason for that is that watching TV with glasses on gets unconfitible but TV is awesome!! I do own two of them and they both work better then expected by far. Do get speakers with a sub, it really makes a diff. Hope this helps.

I certainly agree with your views--I'll probably press the "Add to Cart" button with Amazon too :-). Have fun with your new TV!

I ended up ordering the SC HTB520 Sound Bar with the Wireless Subwoofer from Amazon for $252.95 to be added to my new Panasonic Viera 55" Plasma TC--P55GT31 (bundled with Skype camera, Blu-ray, pair of 3D glasses, and Avatar). I'll know in a few days if it was a good choice or not.

Hello! I just checked the TV: There are 2 USB ports sitting just above the 3 HDMI ports. You'll have to check Panasonic's website to see how to use them, though. Good luck!

I am in this same boat. I am a HUGE amazon fan, and would Love to buy this TV... however, I don't want the BUZZ.... If I buy from Crutchfield or BestBuy, I know I can have them check it out before I have them ship it.

To clarify, I called Vizio because I didn't get a premium set of glasses or the two sided remote. I also don't have as many connections on the back of my TV. They told me I had apparently gotten an older model. I could return it and try again, but I don't know if it is worth the hassle. I am curious about the apps. I saw one review that said theirs didn't have YouTube but mine does, also Skype. I don't have Pandora though. I am wondering what else I am missing.

I tried this on our Samsung TV and it did not work. I checked with the company and the owner's manual. No mention of blue tooth audio. On my TV the USB port is used for e.g. a slide show on a memory stick or digital pictures on a memory stick. I would check you owner's manual closely and perhaps call Panasonic.

Well that actually was one of two of the deciding factors in why I bought this tv as opposed to the Panasonic I was looking at. ONE because this TV came down to $999 for like 2 days and I jumped on it, and TWO because this comes with 4 sets of 3D glasses. Panasonic comes with ZERO and they cost like $70 a pop. The only accessory i purchased for this TV was a Logitech keyboard that also has a built in track-pad so i can do it all with one accessory. It is a tad laggy but not too too bad. Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 with Built-In Multi-Touch Touchpad, Black So check that out. Hope this helps. Take care! Let me know if you need anything else.
