panasonic tc-p55gt30 v. tc-p55vt30 ? Are there features on the plasma Panasonic TC-P55VT30 that warrant the expense over the TC-P55GT30?

Vt30 has almost zero crosstalk and a sigle front glass so if u got the money then hell yea it's worth the extra dough. Here's the experts opinion. http://www.flatpanelshd.com/review.php?subaction=showfull&id;=1303892383

Here's a CNET link that discusses some of the differences: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/panasonic-tc-p55gt30/4505-6482_7-34468658.html

LCDs use less energy and are not susceptible to burn-in. I have both kinds of tv's and they each have their pros/cons. I have not seen the issues you mention with LCD - newer models are much better, however I do prefer the picture quality of my plasma.

I got this tv back in 06, you would be hard pressed to find one much newer. If you got a warranty from a used seller I would guess that it wouldn't be much. 30 days? You'd be better off at this point seeking out an LCD model. You would spend less and get more. I love plasma, but it is a bit old.

I don't know if you made your purchase yet or not, but I'd check out the difference in glare/reflections from the screens. I have heard the Sony has a non-glare screen, but most plasmas have a glass screen that reflects background light and can be distracting.

I'm afraid I cannot help you with the question. I have used this model with a Panasonic Plasma from two years ago with no problem. Good luck. You might try purchasing one and trying it out. You wouldn't lose much.

While the ZT60 is much better at filtering reflections and other ambient light sources in bright room conditions than other Panasonic plasmas I've owned (UT50, S1), there are still some issues with glare and reflections in some conditions. Although it is hardly noticeable in brighter scenes, it can be a bit distracting on darker ones if you have poor light or window placement in the room. Even with the reflections in some lighting conditions, a properly calibrated ZTs picture quality advantage trumps any LCD.

Hi! I have been reading up on both tv's and it looks like the panasonic V10 is by far the best of the both. I just purchased the sammy b860 and also trying to find a good deal with the panny V10 (since it cost more). Both tv's can display the 24p at 96hz(24hzx4=96hz), so since the panny G10 can only do the 24p at 48hz(ficker problem). That's why tto me the sammy B860 is bump to second best, but this sammy has a buzzing sound if you live high above sea level. Remember this is just my opinion. hope this help someone......:)

I purchased the OPPO 981 for my 58" Panasonic Plasma 1080p (TH-58PZ750U). Superb!The suggestions for selection on OPPO's website suggest this is the one to use.

To be sure, visit Panasonic's website and download manual for both. Comparability will be stated in the manuals.

I've pretty much decided on purchasing the Panasonic 50PZ800U. I notice from your previous post that you have LCDs in your home as well. How would you compare the viewing experience between those and your new plasma? As far as HDTV, do you have Cable or Satellite? I currently have Satellite, but will switch to FIOS based on reviews in Consumer Reports.I really appreciate your time!

I've had a Panasonic 58" plasma for about 4 years. It gets a heavy dose of ESPN Sport Center fixed borders and a steady diet of Role Playing Games with static screen elements from the Xbox 360. I have never had any problems with burn in or image retention. The only problem I see with my plasma is that it can suck enough power to set off the alarm on my A/V power conditioner on games that use white loading screens (solution - turn off the alarm).

I am in your same boat...trying to choose between a samsung pn58b650 vs. panasonic tc-54v10. Panasonic is 58" and now several hundred cheaper (with coupon code). I keep going back and forth...any help out there? Is panasonic better than samsung...as is generally stated? thanx in advance for any feedback.

You really have to see both side by side at a dealer. I can't think of a better answer.My answer is the VT is better because it's more versatile. The VT has inky blacks, great off angle viewing (more practical in a wider room or a room with viewers at different angles), and great motion and "pop".However, if you need a "bright" TV, LED/LCD is the way to go -- this is better for a room that's inundated with light, many windows, lots of daytime viewing.The plasma motion vs. sony XBR motion is another -- have to see it. I prefer plasma.Technically speaking in terms of black levels, the Sony with its local dimming feature will produce better blacks than the VT30, this has been measured by 3rd party people on the 'net.

I have had Panasonic Plasma TV's for over 10 years. Never a problem. Currently have a 54 and a 42. 65VT60 on order. Picture quality has been outstanding.

Go for Samsung UN50H6350 50-Inch 1080p... Its a way better than plasma, also you will save on electricity bill. Plasma consume more electricity

thanks for your question. The TC20 is a much better machine. It has longer treads, goes faster and has more computer settings. Essentially they both will perform the same function but the TC20 has more options and features.

Panasonic VIERA TC-P50VT25 50-inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV, Black It says it's 3D and these were introduced in 2010. Read the reviews, they talk about the 3D quality. The 2010 top of the line VT20/VT25 models were the very first to introduce 3D. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10466702-1.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody;2n http://ces.cnet.com/8301-31045_1-10427983-269.html Looks like you're good to go! Of course, as I'm sure you know you need 3D glasses that work with a Panasonic HDTV and any model of 3D Blu-ray player.
