Picture quality flaws include subtly fluctuating black and gray levels as well as inaccurate gamma that washes out shadows somewhat. The GT30 has fewer picture controls than the competition
Good black levels, Accurate color, Solid selection of streaming media apps,
Power hungry, Some fringing in dark scenes, Doesn’t get very bright when correctly calibrated,
A 50-inch, 3D-ready plasma HDTV, the Panasonic TC-P50GT30 offers solid performance at a reasonable price, but its hunger for electricity and some fringing in dark areas of its picture hold it back. ...
With both 2D and 3D content, Panasonic's TC-P50GT30 is a very good performer, and its well-rounded features package hits all of the desirable bases: Web-based video-on-demand, an included WiFi adapter, DLNA streaming, and even Skype video conferencing...
The GT30 is a good set, but apart from slightly spiffier aesthetics, more cable clearance for a wall mount, an additional HDMI input, a PC input, and THX certification—which is of questionable value in this particular case—it offers little that you can't...
The Panasonic TC-50GT30 plasma not only delivers a deliciously lush 2D picture, its rendering of 3D Blu-rays is one of the best that I have seen. Add to that a strong troupe of Internet content providers and this VIERA GT30 makes a great centerpiece to...

Picture quality flaws include subtly fluctuating black and gray levels as well as inaccurate gamma that washes out shadows somewhat. The GT30 has fewer picture controls than the competition, doesn't include 3D glasses, and uses significantly more power th
Excellent all-around picture quality combined with improved features and styling should make the Panasonic TC-PGT30 TV a favorite among bigger-spending plasma seekers.
Panasonic GT30 has - like most of Panasonic's other new 2011 TVs – many useful multimedia features built in. First of is the USB recording function (on EU models) and DLNA that lets you stream video, images and music from other electronic devices. But the...
Crosstalk-free 3D, Peerless contrast, Good value for what's on offer
Not the brightest pictures, especially with 3D, Judder with some sources
While recent TVs from LG and Samsung in particular have reminded us that Panasonic could still do with injecting a little more brightness into its 3D pictures, overall the P46GT30 renews our belief that we as AV enthusiasts would rather watch 3D on a Pana...
One of the things we love about plasma TVs is the fact that colour reproduction is often excellent, with the Panasonic TX-P42GT30B proving a great example. Colours are bright, vibrant and realistic, and movies look fantastic. The integrated 3D technology also promises to bring films to life. You'll be able to access programmes from both Freeview HD and Freesat HD, with channels scanned for and sa
It's a struggle to find anything wrong with the Panasonic TX-P42GT30B itself, but there is one big omission – the lack of any active glasses to go with the TV. Instead, you'll have to fork out an additional £110 per pair if you want to watch content in 3D.
Despite Panasonic's stingyness on the specs front, we still love the Panasonic TX-P42GT30B. It should top the list if you're in the market for a 3D HDTV, and fancy plasma over LED. Panasonic TX-P42GT30B is tagged with Panasonic TX-P42GT30B, Panasonic a...
Great picture in 2D and 3D, Excellent contrast ratio: 5310:1 in THX mode, Almost no crosstalk, Very wide viewing angles, No Blackfloating in THX mode
Very average audio quality with muffled sound, Glossy screen picks up reflections, Power adaptor makes annoying noise, High energy consumption: 165 W in THX mode
The GT30 has more contrast than the older GT20, has a great quality picture once you set it up in THX mode. The most demanding viewers will probably prefer the VT30 for getting closer to perfection, the GT30 is almost certainly better value for money....
