Most helpful reviews

Kevin , Glasgow High spec fanatic

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: 65" of pure viewing pleasure - PS3 gaming in 3D on this bad boy is a dream come true :-)
Bad points:: It maybe that I have just not read the manual correctly, but I cannot get the set to start up with HDMI 4 as the pre-select, the set has to be told which input to monitor. I don't use any of the set's sound out capabilities as I run a AV receiver (Onkyo)

TV Buyers Guide

Manufacturer's Description

The viewing experience has never been so lifelike and compelling as it is with Panasonic’s 3D Technology. The fast switching phosphors used in the Neo Plasma panels and an original light-emitting process minimise crosstalk (double images) to deliver clear 3D images and ensure comfortable viewing. This technology also helps to improve 2D picture quality.
The 600Hz Sub-field Drive* in VIERA plasma TVs teams up with Intelligent Frame Creation Pro technology to deliver smooth, fluid, on-screen motion. By using an intelligent algorithm within the picture processing based on motion detection, the best combination of frames is created to deliver ultra crisp sports, film and game action. *When using Cinema mode
In Neo Plasma models, contrast in brightly lit locations has been improved. Enhancements to the panel and filter help reproduce images with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks – even when viewed in bright surroundings. In movies, true, deep blacks faithfully convey the intent of the filmmaker, adding power and realism to the viewing experience.
VIERA Connect allows users to enjoy video and music, sports, games, and a variety of other content in addition to the standard movies and TV programmes on a high-quality large-screen TV through the simple operation of a remote control. The cloud-based Internet service also supports interactive services using applicable equipment as well as an Internet-based shopping function that allows such equipment to be purchased straight from the TV.
You can easily record your favourite TV programmes, films and other content onto an external USB hard disk drive and an SD Card. Recordings can be easily controlled using VIERA’s remote control. And Rew Live TV function for USB HDD recording lets you rewind a live TV programme to catch the scenes you want to see, so you won’t miss important moments.
The VIERA VT30 Plasma TV series includes a DVB-S tuner for Freesat HD and a DVB-T2 tuner for Freeview HD providing you with a convenient, subscription free way of watching HD contents like sport, as well as your favourite soaps, dramas and documentaries in full HD glory wherever you are in the UK (Following a one off installation payment for Freesat HD services whereas for Freeview HD you will need to ensure coverage is available in your local area).
