The editors didn't like

  • 3D glasses not included and are expensive
  • Getting colors perfect can take a bit of work
  • Some issues with motion artifacts
  • VIERA CAST/VIERA Connect needs better selection of apps
  • Colors are slightly pale pre-calibration
  • Awful sounding internal loudspeakers
  • SD content could look better
  • Not a great match for super bright rooms unless you have shades
  • Slightly outdated design
  • Lacking port selection
  • No 3D glasses included
  • Only three HDMI inputs. Power-hungry when compared with LCD HDTVs. Active shutter 3D glasses are expensive and not included.
  • Menus not always intuitive
  • Unexceptional image quality
  • Distorted sound
  • * Unexceptional image quality
  • * Distorted sound
  • Price when rated
  • $1149
  • 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 control
  • The active 3D glasses are not included and will cost you $150 to $180 each
  • The TV only has three HDMI inputs and no PC connection
  • The number of picture adjustments is solid but not as good as you'll find in some higherend TVs.

  • Abstract:  Once the phosphors are ramped up in the right direction, the colors on this TV really pop. Dark shadow detail is superb, and black levels look saturated though not the best we've seen. There is some background motion artifacts present, no doubt brough...

  • The ST30 series offers the best value by far among Panasonic's 2011 3D plasmas. Detail, color, blacks, and shadow detail are all excellent, even without THX certification. The G30 offers a few perks, such as slightly spiffier aesthetics, more cable clear...

  • Good colors and black levels. Solid selection of Web apps.
  • Only three HDMI inputs. Power-hungry when compared with LCD HDTVs. Active shutter 3D glasses are expensive and not included.
  • While it has its share of flaws, Panasonic's 50-inch TC-P50ST30 3D-ready plasma HDTV has a good picture and plenty of Web apps, making is a solid choice if you want a big screen at a reasonable price. Buy it now...

  • 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.

  • I have been sitting on the 3D fence for more than a year and I could never justify spending $4,000 on a 65" 3D HDTV due to the lack of content and because my projector set-up is quite superior with 2D content. The Panasonic TC-P50ST30 isn't a perfect ...

  • Abstract:  Count Panasonic as a plasma stalwart, as they’ve introduced no less than five plasma TV model ranges for 2011, including three tiers of 3D 1080p models. Their ST30-series 3D plasma sets, consisting of six models with screen sizes from 42” up to 65”, ...
