  • The VT30 is no better than the VT20: it still has a great picture in both 2D and 3D. But Panasonic has put a lot of work into making look better, and it's certainly paid off....

  • The top sheet runs over both the screen and the bezel, meaning Panasonic has finally delivered one of those ‘one-layer' fascias that seem so fashionable these days.Behind the P42VT30‘s slinky exterior lies Panasonic's NeoPlasma technology. We covered this...

  • The Panasonic TC-PVT30 has outstanding overall picture quality, with superior black-level performance, very good shadow detail and accurate color points in THX mode. It can handle 1080p/24 sources and bright rooms well and exhibits the nearly perfect scre
  • The VT30 is very expensive, and last year's Panasonic plasmas lost black-level performance over relatively short periods of time. Its color is not as good as the best current plasmas and it uses significantly more power than LCD TVs
