http://amzn.to/PanasonicTCP50ST30 - The good: The Panasonic TC-PST30 has excellent overall picture quality, with deep black levels, accurate color, and solid video processing. It can handle 1080p/24 sources well and exhibits the nearly perfect screen uniformity of plasma, as well as solid 3D picture quality. Its Internet suite is simple to use yet content-rich, and it includes a Wi-Fi dongle.

The bad: The chunky ST30 seems dated by today's flat-panel TV design standards. Picture quality flaws include limited brightness--a liability especially in bright rooms--and less-saturated color in its most accurate picture mode. The ST30 has fewer picture controls than the competition, doesn't include 3D glasses, and uses significantly more power than LCD TVs.

The bottom line: If you can live with its homely design, the excellent picture quality and feature set of the Panasonic TC-PST30 series combine to make it one of the best plasma TV values available.

When Panasonic detailed its 2011 plasma TV lineup at CES this January, we immediately pegged the TC-PST30 as the one model that "might hit the value sweet spot." After putting it through its paces we're going to eliminate the uncertainty from that phrase. The TC-PST30 may lack the THX certification of its more-expensive brother the TC-PGT30, but picture quality between the two is largely a wash, and excellent overall in both cases. Both share identical, well-stocked feature sets, highlighted by improved Internet suites, Wi-Fi dongles and 3D capability (albeit sans included glasses). The ST30's only major downside, and the reason why some buyers might spring for another model, is pedestrian styling. At each of its six sizes the Panasonic TC-PST30 series is our early favorite for best plasma TV value of 2011.

  • Tv is great its on sale for 899 at new egg pick it up its the shit.

  • GREAT review of a GREAT 3DTV. BUT the Avatar 3D Blu-Ray is NOT available to all Panasonic 3Dtv customers, just the customers who buy their newest & highest end TVs for $2K & up. Of course this "Nugget" of info/disclaimer was displayed nowhere near Panasonic's 3Dtv demoing that very same Avatar 3D at Best Buy, which that demo sold me on this 3DTV, Blu-Ray player & 4 sets of their glasses(at $150 a pop), totaling $3K & I still don't qualify for Avatar 3D, "Panasonic That's Just Not Right".

  • $100 bucks a piece a family of 4 spends $400 to watch 3D. this throws the price up into the range of the LGs which have much cheaper glasses and many more features.

  • the reviews all seem to come to the same conclusion: best bang for buck, loads of features, 3D etc...now if I just save up for the 5 pair of glasses I need!

  • thanks for the honest review.. and the link, I'm really tempted to get this now.  Just have to convince the wife lol :)

  • someone wanna hook me up with a few bucks :)

  • ya like the guy says it looks generic, but who cares.. with everything you're getting I'll happily get this

  • Great Investment guys.. If you don't mine the look of it

  • I agree.. Panasonic out did themselves this time.. Im liking the the deals Im seeing from amazon thx 4 the link.. now I just have to save up :)

  • thank 4 the link, just placed my order.  Great Job Panasonic
