Of course the high end model Pana VT50.

Panasonic GT series picture processor engine quite same to VT.

ST and GT use same anti-reflective coating panel.

Here the chart for your reference.

Remember one of the member here buy display unit Pana 55"ST series price RM4999 from Harvey Norman road show not sure ST30 or 50.

Thanks for your correction.

Price wise not sure.

Spec wise the P50ST50 boasts ‘2500Hz’ sub-field driving (a big rise from last year’s 600Hz figure), 2D/3D feature and review picture performance quite near to last year VT30 model.

Why not you go audition test the feature and setting between this two model trust your own eyes and share with us here.

If don't mind last year model there is high end VT30 if you able to get price best bang for the buck.

GT and VT series will excel in bright living room when THX mode come into play.

ST series in bright living room just nice only but in dim room performance pretty good comparable to last year VT30.

This year ST50 series did a job compare to ST30 big leap in Focused Field Drive 2500hz, color accuracy, deep black level, brightness increased, built in WIFI, web browser and the second generation louver filter is nicely improved so the black level is maintained slightly better this year when the room lights are on so the contrast ratio is acceptable, which is a welcome improvement over previous plasma generations.

So why last year model ST30?
For me plasma below 5k no doubt go to this year much improved Pana 55' ST50 series.

The Infinite Black Ultra panel which should give you about 10% better black levels than Infinite Black Pro panel.
That’s one difference but they both have great panels.

Infinite Black Pro
=============
24p Cinematic Playback 48 Hz

Infinite Black Ultra
=============
24p Cinematic Playback 96 Hz/48 Hz
ISFccc (Advanced Calibration)

In fact the Infinite Black Pro panel was the panel used on the VT30 with included 24p Cinematic Playback 96hz/48hz and ISFccc - from 2011 the top end model.

Despite competition from Samsung, LG and Panasonic loss in making plasma they still continue to make in reduce plasma TV production and cut workforce but no news Panasonic stop making plasma. Panasonic will co-develop OLED with Sony in 2013.

Nice setup, saw one cool design remote control is it come with two remote control.

3D also not my thingy feel screen become smaller and picture details become darker.
Talking about good HD movies source first come into my mind.

1. Tron Legacy dark scene details with superb neon lighting effects it show your TV contrast capability.
2. The Art of Flight amazing white on snow mountain spectacular view and ski board actions scene with super slow motion videography it show your TV whiter white and fast and slow motion capability.
3. Planet Earth spectacular nature view.

VT60 and ZT60 design damn nice.

Bros, Why not get both.......if financial allowed.

Not sure leh......cause don't own 65" but 100' at 10' distance can differentiate and still 720p quite good at this screen size so for 65" sure good to go. So now start keep $$$ into piggy bank standby.
