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. sad.gif

Just came bavk from senq leisure mall. Bought the ST50 for rm3199 with 2x 3d glass n 1xhdmi cable thumbup.gif i also asked the SA n she said that it cost rm150 each for any additional 3d glass.

That's a good deal. I bought the P50ST50K for RM3399 just before someone posted the SenQ deal.

Happy with the set so far. The black level improves a lot as compared to my 1-year old P50U30K.

Now undergoing burning-in. smile.gif

Your 1 years old tv is 50"
Your new tv also 50"

Any difference beside the black level....
*
Yeah, the 1-year old one is last year's U Series.

I got married recently so I gave the P50U to my parents, since I live with them previously when I bought the P50U.

That's the reason I need to get a new one. Original plan was to get P65ST but thinking about the need of buying new furniture, fridge, washing machine, wardrobe, bed etc so I think it's better for me to settle with P50ST first tongue.gif

Other difference? I haven't calibrate it yet. Only set to True Cinema mode and set the brightness a little bit lower during breaking-in period. Anyway, some other things that I notice:

a) The bezel is slimmer.
b) Less reflection of the glass. Noticeably no double image when I look it from extreme angle.
c) "Motion Smooth". Turn this on and image movement will be fluid like those LED TV but I don't like it. Movement looks fake, I'd rather turning it off. Personal preference.
d) More options to calibration menu. A big diff since it's a class higher than U series.
e) 3D. I don't really bother tongue.gif
f) Viera Connect. I haven't try this yet. Unifi people will come next Monday.

That's abt it I think. Any other stuff I should discover in the future. Still learning though smile.gif

I wonder if I am the unlucky one.

I purchased ST50 from Aeon member day sales happily after reading so good review about the unit.

But unfortunately the nightmare begin....

The unit has some Dirty Screen Effect (DSE), which I discover during break in period.  though quite mild but is noticeable.

Call Aeon for exchange (actually they allow to refund too).  I think of asking refund too but thought my luck won't be that bad, so I take the bet.

The 2nd unit came and i notice this unit was even worse than the first unit.  about 40% of the screen is full of DSE.

Beside this, the unit is so easily to get "burn mark" even though i had completed 200 hours of break-in.  Just less than 10 minutes of staying in a channel, you will discover the burn mark such as "HDMI" stays.  Though this can be wipe away by using the scrolling bar, but it really upset me.  Don't tell me the user has to run this process every now and then...

Call the panasonic to complain...

The engineer who came said this is normal as the ST50's constrast is too high at 5,000,000:1.  Oh...my God.

I can sense why the price is dropping drastically.

Thought I can get better unit for ST by topping up few hundred ringgit instead of getting UT, now I really really regret...

Just to share.

Hey man. Sorry to hear about that. Got my set from Aeon also.

Keep us posted about the issue.

Kinda worry if this happens to me in the future.

I've looked at HN Ikano, Jusco MV and 1U, and I can't seem to find a P42ST50K. The P50ST50K is only 3399 at Jusco but it's too big for my room. If anyone comes across the P42ST50K anywhere around KL for a good price, post here will ya?

Just get the 50ST. You'll find the 42ST a bit small after sometime. Trust me tongue.gif

Mine also Unifi 5MB. 720p clip is okay. 1080p is laggy abit.

It's the bandwidth limitation. The TV itself is fine.

Go for 10MB la tongue.gif

The TV WiFi module really having problem and not the Unifi. Tested with same AP and streaming the same content in YouTube : one from ST and another via Sony PS3  shocking.gif

Oh okay, I didn't know about the wifi issue.

I had mine connected via LAN cable. Since my Unifi router is placed just next to the TV.

I haven't youtube much but I use Plex a lot.

You are right, it is not the bandwidth issues.  I have tested the same content in other devices,... PC and phones, it is just smooth...

Is this isolated cases or it does affect UT, GT & VT series as well?

Can anybody tell me that the box of ST50 can fit into a saloon car size?

For P50ST50, the box dimension is 0.82(H) x 1.39(W) x 0.22(D). Measurement is in meter.

Can try to measure yourself.

1.The ST60 has active 3D capability while the S60 does not.
2.The ST60 has a very high end panel the Infinite Black Pro, while the S60 has something more basic.
3.The 50ST60 has Smart TV Internet full function, web browser, Swipe and Share function. The S60 has a limited online movie feature rather than Web Connect options and no web browser.
4.Due to the upgraded panel in the ST60 it has 2500 focus field drive for fast motion, while the S60 has the 600Hz subfield drive. Actually, either are fine for fast action in our view.
5.There are 3 HDMI connections in the ST60 and 2 HDMI inputs in the S60.
6.The S60 design is more basic than the ST60
7.There are much better calibration controls and options in the 50ST60 and 55ST60
