What's great about it: Picture quality and quality of TV.
What's not so great: The only thing I am not too excited about but again I am coming from a LED is the weight, a lil heavy
Okay well I had a 55 inch LED 1080p 120Hz and looks wise it was great it was paper thin and had smooth touch buttons (which you cannot see) However when it came to picture quality it was ok nothing crazy but bright, the thing that made me look at plasma was when my LED was on something with fast motion I would have tracers or shadows following after the movement. I turned off the smooth motion setting but I still was not impressed. I decided to sell my LED at a great price. Oh and you should probably know that I am very picky with tv performance in the last 6 years I have had 9 different sets ranging from the early Mitsubishi LED projection as welll as 3D DLP, various LCD's and one LED. I had always been very hesitant when it came to plasma due to what I had heard about life span, burn in, and lacking brightness. Well I can say I am absolutely in love with my 60 inch Panny plasma. You need to realize that when plasmas first came out they did not have the technology they have now to stop burn in and did not have the life span they do now. This tv is rated at 100000 hrs before it loses 50% of brightness! That is amazing! I have LCDs that have about 30 to 50k on them and I can honestly say the picture is not what it was new. Any tv can have burn in just so you know and the chances of it happening are very slim unless you are careless. As far as brightness you need to realize that when you are at a store whether it be costco best buy whichever, the store has alot of lights and is much brighter than your home in most cases and if you take it home and have it on the same setting as it was in the stores I promise your eyes with water from the brightness. You will never need it that bright! Anyone who cares about actual picture quality I can promise you that you will be very happy with this tv. Amazing picture and I can say I am very happy I changed from LED to plasma. Motion on this tv is perfect during movies or video games I am amazed. The tv is built very well not plastic like LED and LCDs. Very much worth the money and I would take this tv over and LED on the market right now due to the motion issue they have not been able to fix.

What's great about it: Image quality behind burn in
Bought the tv on black friday. Paid over $1500 because the guys at best buy said these were top of the line gaming tv's. Here I am in late January and I already have burn in from my video games clearly. Sucks because warranties dont cover this anyway..and I have stopped playing games,and it is still visible. Dont waste your money on panasonic,or any plasma at all!!!
This product has... extreme burn in at only 2 months!!!!

I bought this tv because I wanted the biggest, highest quality, non 3-d plasma available for the best price. If u want a 60" plasma & don't want 3-d, then I highly recommend this product. Images are smoothly rendered, blacks are deep, & colors are vibrant. Fast motion content & fine detail shine on this machine. Ten out of ten in my book!

What's great about it: So Far Everything has been Great !
What's not so great: Heats up a bit but i think it normal based on my research
Best Buy was Great they didn't have the TV in stock, however my representative made arrangements of having the TV delivered to my residence Free of Charge! It took about 2 days and the TV was right at my door stop 1st thing in the morning. Couldn't wait to hook up my 60" TV, after I did 1st thing I popped into the Blueray Player was Avatar and it was just JAW DROPPING CLEAR! I think maybe even Clearer then LED. Didn't really car about the regular sound from the TV as I have a Samsung Blueray Surround Sound system, Just So Happy to have the TV and for the Price $1049 you can beat it !!! Highly Recommended TV !!!!

What's great about it: ease of getting it set up
What's not so great: connections on the far right v centered ... had to adjust other equipment positions and or get a longer cord
I have probably read 300 or more reviews on this product, some relevant some not ... This is a set for serious viewers who have a complimentary Home Theature system to go with it. Taking it a step further, while connectivity with a variety of brand names is easy, it is a snap plus when coordinating this product with other Panasonic components. I say for "serious viewers" because a) the picture preferences are a personal matter and b) taking the time to fine tune the picture to your liking is well worth the time ... but only serious people do that ... yet once done this is an awesome product The picture is rich ... and the dark tones in some types of programing can be, well, dark ... but what I have found is customizing different settings (vivid, game, custom, standard) for different types of programs so if a particular show or program 'picture' is not to my liking, in 3 clicks it it set up to my preferences. My first few days I switched a lot and tweaked a lot ... but now have a customized setting that is solid for sports to hd channels to dvd and bluerays ... so not much picture swapping lately. Sports on a plasma can't be beat. I find for the room size, the 60 inch is perfect and have noticed details in some movies/programing that I never noticed before. Hook up was a snap, internet and all and even looking at pictures stored on my laptop was a snap. While one could always wish for more connections or a super remote, once adjusted to the system not issues. Would recommend to all serious viewers who will take to time to set up their own personal preferences, without question.

What's great about it: Excellent picture, great price, QUALITY
What's not so great: Needs external speakers
Before this TV, we owned an ancient RCA rear-projection 57" TV which lived in our living room, taking up a ton of space. My husband had been researching TVs for as long as I can remember and was sold on a Sharp Aquos Quattron LED (120Hz). He had heard some negative things about it, such as blurring during sports and other fast-paced activities so he wanted to check it out in the store. Am I glad he did - that TV was nothing compared to this S30 by Panasonic. All reviews online for plasma TVs raved about the newer plasma technology, the better blacks, the brighter colors, the ability to watch sports without blurring (due to the 600Hz). The hubs immediately forgot the Sharp, but was undecided between the awesome 55" VT30 and this excellent 60" S30 - but what swayed us towards the S30 was the lack of 3D (honestly, we were just never going to watch it) and the price difference - the VT30 was $2000 on sale, and the S30 was $1100. Because this TV was so affordable, we were about to purchase awesome tower speakers. The ONLY negative on this TV - the speakers aren't great - it sounds as if you are traveling in a tunnel... not ideal for such a great picture. Our new speakers really bring out the sound and weren't overpriced like other stores. All-in-all, a great purchase at a great price. Thanks BB!

What's great about it: Stunning picture for the price!
What's not so great: Internet setup
I was shopping before Thanksgiving for a bigger TV for my living room even though I didn't need one (don't tell my wife). The living room TV was a six year old (second gen) 50" LG plasma. I've been a plasma fan ever since. The LED's are bright and thin but in my opinion they do not have near the depth in picture as a plasma (& are overpriced).
After a lot of research I concluded that Panasonic was the only way to go considering they have won many awards in the past for plasma TV's. I was set on the Panasonic 65" VT30 which was $2500 before Christmas but then began looking at price vs. features for the $1300 60" S30. The only difference between the two was a 3D picture and obviously the size. I really do not care about 3D because of having to wear glasses. However the $1200 price difference was the biggest decision. I"M EXTREMELY SATISFIED with the 60" S30! I purchased the TV in time to watch all the college bowl games with it's crisp and clear picture. Watching blue ray movies is the best by far b/c of the excellent picture. It's just like being at the theater! I haven't used the TV speakers and sure that most people do not. The only trouble I have is getting the internet connected but just use my new blue ray player for streaming Netflix. Overall I can't be happier with my purchase and hope this review will help someone.

What's great about it: Size and picture
What's not so great: Still calibrating the display
I decided on this Plasma after doing alot of reseearch online. It was a consumer reports recommended buy in November/Dec 2011. While the picture does not pop like LCD displays I appreciate the softer and more natural looking picture it delivers. HD Cable and Blu-Rays look fantastic. Football games show no blurring. I have only used a surround sound set-up since day one so I cannot comment on the TV speakers. Theonly thing that keeps this TV from getting a 5 rating is that sometimes it flickers. Some bright displays flicker to a darker screen. It is quick but you do notice it. It seems more prominent on things like basketball highlights. Some days/shows you don't see it at all. It may be some type of auto contrast setting that I will play with as I tweak the calibration. Beyond that I love this 60 inch plasma for the price. I have a Blu Ray with built in WiFi so this TV not having internet capability was not an issue.

What's not so great: when in standard picture mode, sporting events brighten and fade
TV Picture is excellent. One weird thing about the TV, when in Standard picture mode, camera flashes during sporting events (especially basketball because of the flash proximity), causes the picture to brighten then fade. It's annoying after a while. Easy fix, change picture mode to sports mode. Plus sports mode looks very nice.
Don't know about sound because I use a surround sound system.
Overall, I love it so far. Its been 2 months

Decided to pass over the 3D models for now (hate the glasses). This plasma delivers an outstanding high action picture for sports and movies. Decent streaming with Netflix - only an occasional rebuffering, after which it looks like it lowers the resolution (from 1080 downto 720 or lower). First non-Sony in years, very happy

What's great about it: Picture, Viewing Angle, Size, Quality
What's not so great: Placement of HDMI USB ports
I took about 4 months to research and look at just about every model and type of TV out there. I have had the television for just about 3 months now. I am thoroughly impressed with this television. The 60inch plasma is the perfect size. Picture is unbelievable, crisp, and brilliant. Whether its watching tv, sports, playing video games, dvd's or blu-rays this tv is awesome. It was a cake walk to set up(by myself) and very easy to hook up all of my components to. Also, just a reminder, I have Direct TV and the cable box wasn't set up to receive 1080i when it was installed, only 480i. Double check to make sure that your cable box is receiving 1080i or you'll obviously think something is wrong with your new tv. At any rate, the viewing angle is phenomenal so there isnt a bad seat in the house. I can't wait to watch the Super Bowl on this thing. The only drawback, and it really isnt one, is that the hdmi, usb component hook ups are on the far right hand side of the back of the tv and not in the middle. It wasn't a big problem, just need to make sure you hjave long enough wires to connect your toys to the tv. This is a terrific tv, and for the price you can't beat it. Best Buy matched Costco's price of $1199.99 too so shop around. A+ television, highly recommended!!!!

What's great about it: Great TV for it's price. Sports look great on this TV.
What's not so great: Color management
Owned a Panasonic 50" Plasma 720P for 7 years and it was an excellent TV. This 60" 1080P (Top rated Plasma in it's class according to Consumer Reports) was slightly dissapointing compared to the 50" when it comes to picture sharpness and color. Seems like you need constant color adjustment depending on the program you are watching. (Still reading the book).
I wall mounted this TV and it has turned out great. I wished that all 3 HDMI outputs were on the side of the TV. I used a slim mount and having 2 of the 3 HDMI outputs on the back of the TV slightly gets in the way of the wall and the tilting mount.
Want to connect the TV to my wireless network, but the wireless adapter is sold separately.
Great TV for it's price and make sure you buy the proper mount as this TV is pretty heavy. I would recommend this TV.
