Ok, I have this beauty for 2 weeks and is the best Plasma TV on the market...till the VT50 will hit the shelvs this summer :-))
But lets talk about this Tv, I know most of you reporting a screen buzz...!? I have no such sound...my wife, my friends all of them can't hear that screen buzz that everyone talking about. I have to say that my Tv is exactly what I wanted for 5 years.
Make shore you get that 4y Best buy warranty and then you have no Worrys at all.

I've had the tv for a week now and I love it. Picture is amazing on this thing. I tried out the samsung pnd7000 59" twice#buzzing screen# and feel in love with the vt30. This is the best tv you can buy right now, not samsung, lg, sony,..........and its cheap $1799, hurry, don't wait. I found calabration settings on cnet.com for THX mode and custom mode, they look pretty good if you want to save $200 #geeksquad#

BEST TV EVER.

What's not so great: I DIDNT BUY THIS TV SOONER
This TV is AMAZING, believe me when i say this...I was looking at buying the Samsung 8000 series LED TV but this TV blows it out of the water! DEEPEST BLACKS, MOST REALISTIC PICTURE, NO MOTION BLUR WHATSOEVER (Has a motion smoother feature also...same effect that the led 120/240 feature is.) I'm an avid movie watcher/video gamer and the picture is UNREAL, MW3/BF3/SSF4 i play all these games....NO lag delay from controller to TV which a lot of led TVs give you which is a make or break for me. Blurays are the BEST, never bought movies in the past but this TV alone has made me do so. I did my hours of research and am proud to own this TV, take my advice if you're on the fence DO IT. PANASONIC WINS!
Oh and as far as people saying burn-in scares them away from plasmas, it's like it doesn't even exist on this TV, The technology has advanced far on plasmas and continues each year, They are alive and well!

What's great about it: More like whats not great about it?
What's not so great: Glossy, so can be reflective during the day and with lights.
Through all the searching and going to different places for Tv's. Asking around for which TV is the best out there. I initally went in looking to buy a Samsung LED but after all the searching and research came out with a PANASONIC Plasma. This TV is great! i feel like im at the event or watching a movie live. Im a big sports fan and this TV is perfect for that. worth every cent and well worth the search.

What's great about it: Doesn't honour return policy
I contacted the Best Buy store in Watertown, MA. The issue was cosmetic scratches on the flat panel glass screen. Spoke with staff twice and I was promised a replacement. I waited for customer service to contect me. Nobody called. My 30-day return period has expired. I am not happy with Best Buy.

I did a lot of research in deciding between an LCD and plasma but issues people had with LCD TV's when compared to plasma won me over. All of the reviews on the Panasonic were outstanding and I can now honestly say that this TV is AWESOME!! We love it. The picture quality is superb and we had no issues getting it set up. Updating the firmware and software went very smoothly, and the menus and remote are easy to use. Overall extremely happy

This VT30 Series is by far the best tv. I've always had Panasonic and had know need to look at another brand. But before I bough this VT30 I purchased the Samsung un55d8000. Boy was I disappointed I didn't just stick with Panasonic. The Samsung was was nice to look at for the almost no edge look but the picture was horrible.
Every few minutes it had motion blur which I couldnt get rid of, so I took it back the next day. People looked fake and LOTR looked like a parody from MAD tv. Like a puppet show. However this VT30 is much better, cheaper and 3D looks fantastic! Panasonic is the best in Plasmas!

Plus it has that iPhone look of the one sheet of glass. In my opinion it even look better than the Samsung.
On cnet.com they have a calIbration setting for the VT30 which made the picture look amazing!

After a great deal of searching and study we settled on the Panasonic Viera TC-P55VT30. It was consistantly reviewed highly by the pro reviewers, and there were very few consumer reviewers with negative comments.
Our set was delivered and a basic set up was performed and we were immediately blown away with the clarity and brilliance of this display. Once I learned the to access the settings I was able to tweak it to near perfection.
Great black levels, and we are able to see detail in the dark areas of images that we never saw before even when viewing familiar content. As someone who borders on the Audiophile side I played the set speakers only a short time before I switched on the full surround.
Using the internet connectivity is awesome, and using the DLNA to stream my home content has been a great new way to use our system.
For my application this it a top choice in my book. Highly recommended!

What's great about it: picture
The picture quality is fantastic, the features of the tv are great, the one thing I wish it did was autodetect inputs and switch, especially if it is on an input when there is not source, i.e. after turning off the dvd player it should automatically pick up the cable.
The sound is actually better than I thought it would be, but I had low expectations of the sound, I will still be buying a sound system at some point.
The picture is much better than an LCD, while in the store there is no comparison between the plasma and the LCD, I don't know why people buy the LCD's if they compare the two. This plasma doesn't really run hot either.

The picture quality is something that has to be seen. The online reviews were excellent but I was still stunned on how good the quality is. I'm re-watching movies just to enjoy the picture quality. I have not made any adjustments since none are really needed. All my inputs are on THX and it's perfect or nearly perfect.

What's not so great: No analog audio out. Can't hook pandora to my house music amp without a optical DAC.
I'm a custom AV installer by trade so I see everything the market has to offer. And as for picture quality and black level on 2D content it doesn't get any better. Panasonic didn't put any over the top image processors to make the picture look faux 3D which is distracting. The image smoothing does just enough to clean up the movement and panning. The 3D quality is also breathtaking and is smooth enough to not cause a headache. The Internet content is useable and easy to access and browse. We've been watching a lot of netflix on it and have been very pleased. Also pandora is very crisp and clean.
The glass quality is astounding and glare is nonexistent in my living room.

I switched from my 51 inch Hitachi Ultravision rear projection to this tv and I couldn't be happier. The picture quality and black levels are exactly what i was looking for. Throw in the connectivity via wifi with the included adapter and the good selection of apps and I am one happy camper.
I have not tried out the speakers so I just rated them 5 stars, I have my own surround sound so they are not needed for me.
