Internet Can any Panasonic GT50 owners comment on this models Internet capabilities? Seems like all of the new Panny Plasmas models have internet issues (no flash capability).

Not clear on your question, but the TV supports Netflix, Hulu, etc streaming content (i.e., it's not directly usable to web surf, if that was your query).

It's a long time late, but it does have a selectable dual band Wi-Fi chip inside of it, which I was surprised to find out.

The GT50 actually does have a built-in internet browser and it IS flash capable.

Lots of good info on this camera here - but a major difference is that it is HD vs. VGA. I do t have any BL-C230s, but I have a bunch of old BL-C131As. They were easier to setup, could be setup from many browsers, etc. the new one seems to be IE restricted for setup but can be viewed in most browsers with the /cam option.Here is the panasonic info: http://security.panasonic.com/pss/security/products/bbbl/lineup/bl-vt164w/index.html

Best Buy matched Frys' $549 price. After tax, it was $602 with free shipping and setup. A great deal for a plasma. I'm afraid if something goes wrong I won't be able to get a deal quite like this. The only problems I have now are some men logo silhouttes that go away when playing tv/blu ray and some grain in the picture. How typical is the grain/noise for plasma. I read varying takes on it. I have until tomorrow to buy the extd. warranty from Best Buy. I'll check what coverage my credit card gives as well. Thank you all!

Hello I own the p50st30 and am an avid gamer, and I also ran the slides as well for the first 100 hours, I wouldn't even say that is necessary, but I am overly cautious when it comes to expensive toys and investments. Burn-in was a problem with some plasmas in the early 2000's after hours and hours of static images being displayed, but technology has advanced so much and panasonic has especially made an effort to fix this that I wouldn't even think twice about burn in. My friend owns a 2008 panasonic plasma and a few times he will see residual images faintly from long gaming sessions that dissapear instantly when he turns it back on or changes the screen, it also had some white slides that came with the tv settings that could be run to eliminate any apparent "burn in". Plasma offer much better picture quality at a much better value than led or lcd, it is too bad that soo many people have been scared off by burn-in stories from early generations of plasmas, they are truly excellent tvs. I would definately stick with the st30 over an LCD you wont regret it.

I just ordered the 52V4100 as well. Was this close to getting the Panasonic Plasma, but after reading last week Pioneer and Toshiba are dumping Plasma technology, and next year Samsung and Vizio are phasing it out, I am led to think Plasma is losing the battle for some reason. Perhaps it's all the rumors of burn in, break-in periods, excessive heat and energy usage. I don't know. I went with the Sony. The price I got was too good to pass up ($1250 with free shipping).

AJ, etc. I currently have the new Samsung 6900. It does not have these issues at all, but I am in the process of returning to Amazon due to the fact that I can only get 4 mpps over wireless, yet I have a 20Mpps network. I ordered the Panisonic BD-85 which should arrive Wednesday. On the Samsung you CAN view and even search for movies in Netflix, then choose and watch and the GUI interface is fantastic. If the Pany won't do it, I'll be returning both. Guess I got a bad 6900 as it is CNET's best of 2010.

I can help you. Bought the 1500 back in June. Worked great until the Bond movies came out. Bought FYEO and it wouldn't play. Got the new 2.0 firmware update from Samsung. Installed that with no problems. But after the update I couldn't play ANY blu movie. Sent the machine to Samsung to get fixed. Said they would have a new firmware update to resolve the problem but couldn't tell me when that would take place. So I had lost patience (over 1 month w/out being able to play blu on 1500). I bought the bd35. Not one single problem. Played the Bond movie with no problems. Samsung released 2.1 firmware to resolve problems with 2.0 firmware. Didn't work. So the morale of my story is that Samsung customer service is HORRIBLE! Go with the Panasonic. You won't regret it.

My new 50" S30 is not as bright as the 3 year old 42" (720p) Panasonic plasma it replaced.The picture quality, however, is much better than the old plasma.It took me a couple of weeks to get used to it, but now it doesn't bother me (installed in my basement, little natural light)And keep in mind no plasma will be as bright as a LCD HDTV.

well today i ordered this plasma tv. a first for me in plasma. will let you all know how i do with it. i am a senior citizen and found that the reviews on most of the internet tv's were quite complicated. This looked like a resonable priced internet capable tv .

I thought I had it narrowed down to the 4065 or 4069. Reading about the number of people turning the 120Hz feature off or down to Low is making me lean to the 4065. However, I am planning to get all my content either thru off-the-air channels. I have read a few folks say the SD signals displayed poorly on their LCD's. Would a plasma HD set fare better?

I have the LNT5265F and I love it love it love it! A friend has a Pana Plasma. I don't think Plasma has come far enough yet. Plasma has the potential to be better than LCD, but not yet. Go with the Samsung. I have 3 Samsungs 52", and 2 40" and they are all great.

Below is a link that another guy on here provided. it has a review of the TV and at the bottom of the page some additional links to click on. http://www.soundandvision.com/content/panasonic-tc-l55wt60-3d-lcd-hdtv-settings and I had some flickering on the ticker tape, the text that that scrolls on the news, sometimes it would flicker, sometimes it was fine. someone suggested turning all the settings set to "auto" off. that seemed to help.

I am also having this issue. Contacted amazon instant video customer service. They said they have been having this issue with panasonic blu ray's but I still don't have an answer on the fix. Now my blu ray won't connect to the internet at all.

Hi!I am not saying your wrong, but CNET review says the following about the panny G10 "Beyond the basics, Panasonic provides the capability to change the refresh rate to 48Hz, although doing so causes flicker."(cut and paste) Now the panny V10 does the refresh rate to 96hz.Please read the enitre Cnet review about the panny g10

Stay away from Abe. They are dishonest and will rip you off. Better to buy it from a legitimate retailer or better yet wait a little while and see if prices will drop more. Since the new panasonic plasmas were announced last week this line will get replaced very soon.

Ok I am in the same boat about which plasma to get. I have gone to BestBuy numerous times and I like the Samsung PN42A450. I heard any tv in the 40s does not need 1080, as it would be a waste of money. I then saw the PN50A450 on Amazon for a great price, but it is 720. Just curious about if I get the 50, would standard tv look bad, and how about using a PS3 via DMI. Would it look bad because it is only 720 vs 1080? I know the 42inch would look nice, just concerned about the 50inch, and if I should get 42. It is for my bedroom so it will be somewhat close to me. Any comments regarding this would be helpful, thanks! Ok I am in the same boat about which plasma to get. I have gone to BestBuy numerous times and I like the Samsung PN42A450.
