One my of friend working in panasonic bought the VT50 beginning of this year at around RM6.5k... staff purchase.

You might need better luck to get these units nowadays as the open the sales internally first before offering to general market.

The aspect ratio is 16:9 correct as it is 1920x1080 size where the common denominator is 120. Try to check the setting. I remember there is some hsize1 and hsize2 settings where you can slightly enlarge the screen vertically...

To check the latest update, just launch the Viera Aps such as youtube and it will automatically prompt once it detect new software version.
Do ensure the TV is connected onto internet.

As for subtitle loading, it is a known issue (it cannot load srt file automatically)... but I don't think there is anything one can do about it

As for movie with log name, that's interesting. Is it confirm that once you rename a long filename to a short one, it then can be played?

I think non smart TV cannot do firmware upgrade.
But you will need to call Panasonic to double check on this

From what I had try with my panna tv, mkv files with its corresponding srt files in the same folder, the subtitle will not play at all. In the option, when press on subtitle, it will show empty.

Currently what I did is use mkvtoonix to embed the srt file directly. Usually take about 5 minutes for a 5gb movie.

Oh... timing not match... if this is the case, then defnitely is codec not supported or required too much processing power that the tv cannot output.
Another option is to try other large size bitstreams, see if the same problem happens
The third option is to change the mkv file format to avi by using the mkvtoonix but try maintain it at 10GB.

Do a format... the normal one, not the quick one.
Your pendrive will be clean.

Out of topic a bit, anybody selling Dual layer BD rewritable disc? How much and where? Been finding on this forum for quite some times but see nobody selling.

I bought mine at 7800 months ago, but I believe the price may reduce slightly now.

Bluray movie already bout 40GB at 1080p, if 4k2k, will required about 100GB... very unlike for the short time being.

No the set is not made in SG, it will be too expensive to do production there. I believe the production line in SG no more making TV....

If I am not wrong my ST60 unit stickers stated it is made in Thailand. I believe they put on the sticker when the product it finally ready to ship to consumers.
Meaning, the electronic board maybe manufacture somewhere, the plasma panel from Japan, the speakers from india and etc but the finally everything is assemble in Thailand.

These are just data storage allocation table. No need to fully understand them...
unless you are thristy of knowledge, then there is google.
Use NTFS will do

Wow.. come to think of it. Those who bought 2013 series plasma series will own the last batch of plasma TV....

The last part is a bit tricky, you need to select an empty box in order to see the counter and timer
