Sharper or not it depends on your settings.

42" at proper viewing distance; 8-10ft. It doesn't really makes any differences even with blu-rays. Unless you sit very close to the screen.

Thank you for your opinion but obviously you haven't experienced the difference between a FHD Plasma vs HD ready Plasma when it comes to playing blu-ray vids or using your TV as a monitor for your PC.

I can actually notice the difference and it's quite obvious. I'm asking for the price because it's been a while since I surveyed the Plasma tv prices and I'm just need the model number for reference so that I don't waste my time looking at something that not worth to spend my money on.

bro, whats wrong? is the samsung really not up to par with pana? do share... i'm also in doubt between those two..

Upgraded to 50U30K 8 months ago from 30" CRT TV.

Now 50" feels so small. How I wish Pana made 65" non-3D U series.

i am interested in the p50st50.could you tell me where your shop is?is the rm 3999 still hold?
Hoe Huat batu 5 gombak quote me rm4600. Going to see the display unit tomorrow.

Azhar

U can straight to buy from hoehuat already because all major panashops have sold out this model.

Hi guys, i'm looking a new tv for pair with playstation 3. My budget below rm1.5k. This tv ok? It's full hd?

Iambloodysick sell it rm1399...

Nothing's wrong. I'm just a Pana-fan. Always have been.

This is my first Samsung, and after a few months of using it, I have to say I'm pretty pleased with its performance. I'm also enjoying the 3D.

But after reading the reviews and seeing the new Pana's, I wished I had gotten one. At least my Sammy's a 51 incher.

Oh well, c'est la vie.

Added on June 18, 2012, 2:24 pmI have the older model 42x20k. Still using it today for the games room. It's nice, but not full HD, though. Just get one you can afford and enjoy it.

Of coz there is difference.. you're referring to content details and not sharpness.. it depends how far you were from the screen.

I have 3 plasmas already FHD and 768p, BD movies at 10 ft or more makes no differences between 720p and 1080p, you are talking about 42" arent you?

Anyone know when the P65VT50 will be available and cost?

VIERA TH-L42E5K or L42E30k gaming better?
Anyone pc gaming on 42 inch full hd ips TV short distance? Good?

It is available now.

Rm16000.

IMO they are better than plasma when viewed at close distance, 1-3ft. The "dancing/jumping pixels" may cause eye fatigue for long play on plasmas, LCD pixels are much stable and static, they best suit PC gamers using HDTV as monitors at below 4ft distance. If you want to use it like a PC monitor might as well get the 32".

IPS produce darker black, more durable and better viewing angles.

Is there any other series with 65"? Include price if possible, thank you very much.

P65ST50. Half the price from VT

How's the performance compared to VT30K? They're not bringing in the GT50 series? VT > GT > ST right?

Thanks. Quite a big jump up from the ST50. Anyone here do ISF calibration on both models and can tell how they compare? What stores have them both on display?

My 8+ year old Pioneer 50" plasma has served me well but looking for an upgrade with larger screen

For me, ST series is a beautiful tv already yet worth for money.

many people are talking more on VT and GT series but the intention to buy is low, very low.

Next Plasma for me is non reflextve. Is the ST panel non reflextive? Will look into it end of this year.

I hv yet to calibrate any 2012 Panasonics. Once I calibrate them, I will post my findings accordingly. However, I hv talked to fellow calibrators in the UK/US about the performance. The ST50 post calibration is value for money compared to the GT50/VT50. The filters are very close if not the same, the calibration controls are coarser but in can be calibrated well in spite of that. I might evaluate on for myself to replace my aging Pioneer 428XG just for the kicks. In my case I would probably add a video processor and I believe bring it up to the level of the VT (maybe - needs verification...)
