VT. For 2011 models ST/VT have ARC. For 2010, V, GT, VT hv the coatings.

I have just bought P50U30. I noticed at very extreme angle, around 170 degrees or so, there is seems to be double image. It's not obvious but can be seen if I really scrutinize at very close distance. Is this normal?

what's the latest price for P50U30k arr? thinking of getting it this weekend.. been without tv for almost a year.

so the 38k just a "bull shit" model only?

What about normal over-the-air TV channel? Is it "watchable"?
Am asking coz my friend told me that his 46" Sharp AQUOS LED is not as good (a bit blur due to the large screen size?) as CRT TV when viewing normal TV.
So just wondering if the Panasonic 50" is better. Thanks.

Look like some changes in Panasonic plasma business plan.

This model was being sold at around RM2700 a month back, but seems that its an obsolete model (new model coming?) as most dealers not having stock now.

Where the hell do you guys get your P42U30K's from huh? I've looked here and there, tak jumpa langsung! 

How much is the 50 and 65inch VT30? How bout the D8000 plasma? Went to local store the other day but could not find any VT30 around, only got VT20 

Whooaa... quite expensive as well... 

Cannot convert.

I would not say so...There are improvements but there are steps back as well...

For one,they do not go as bright. The colour decoding is still an issue. However, the 50Hz issue is slightly better and the image retention is better.

It has 10point greyscale and gamma for both 3D and 2D so its better. The VT20 only had 2 point and it did not have a seperate memory for 3D.

The VT20 has slightly better black levels but the larger VT30 are on par.

The VT20 has brightness pops if the calibration/settings was not done correctly. The VT30 is better but the problem is not eliminated (so Floating brightness is a problem for both).

There are other differences  but as I said not all are better.

I believe 3D performance was slightly better on the VT30.

The VT20 does have rising blacks. I am not sure how bad it is though. The VT30 is supposed to be better. My one gripe about the VT30 is the ABL circuitry is slightly more aggresive and the APL changes do show up.
