They're in stock. Ordered the 55" and has scratches all over the glass display. Received a replacment and had the same problem with additional scuff marks, scratch on the bottom button area and a bright red stuck pixel.

I ordered one from amazon in July and the delivery was great but the plasma screen was defective with a wide static type band running on the right side of the center of the screen. Called amazon and within a week I had a new set delivered and the shippers took the other one back. This one was flawless and it works perfectly. The 3D is amazing! Amazon has been great in their response and also handled a $100 refund since the TV had gone down in price.

I don't understand what happened with the 55 inch model (P55VT30), it's not sold by Amazon anymore? How come? I can see it at Best Buy but not Amazon... Has this model been discontinued?

I am in this same boat. I am a HUGE amazon fan, and would Love to buy this TV... however, I don't want the BUZZ.... If I buy from Crutchfield or BestBuy, I know I can have them check it out before I have them ship it.

rumors from where? o0 it would be a dream come true if it does go live in before august..did u see the other lesser sized models in the same series? those have an actual date on amazon already..with the smallest having the earliest ship date, bigger getting a later date..and this 55 model dateless, so im assuming it's gonna be the last one to get out if anything..so i don't think it will be anytime now until october at least..and "they should honor" or "they will honor" ? x:thanks for the quick response though ^^

i am in the same boat as you. this tv looks awesome but now it is not available. did they make a new model? if so, where can you get it?

I agree D. I guess Amazon deleted them because they don't want people to hold off buying the TV just because they think the price will decrease. To Amazon, they'd prefer it if MORE people paid 1749 for the TV than a reduced price of say1249. My thing is: why make the link to this forum available in the first place?

Samsung is touting "better" spec on the B650 line and are therefore devoting must of their manufacturing pipeline to that series, followed by th B750 series. Once those stocks are large enough, they will be rolling out the B630 series. With that said, it looks like that the B630 should come out some time in mid to late May. The specs when comparing the b650 and b630 are nearly identical except the matte screen reduces the dynamic contrast ratio to 80000:1, which is to be expected -- not that these numbers are very reliable anyway. Also, they moved the on-tv controls to the center of the bottom bezel, which to me looks a bit awkard.

I certainly agree with your views--I'll probably press the "Add to Cart" button with Amazon too :-). Have fun with your new TV!

The VT-25 series now can enable a "patch" to fix the limitations of the calibration controls...along with the latest firmware...this display is now the best available display in production...it's very close to the reference Pioneer 500M numbers...the next model year from Panasonic will include some Pioneer tech that will put it even or surpass Pioneer numbers of the past

I own and LOVE this tv (the 8000), but I'd definitely wait. Its hard to believe that 3D won't be at least a little better, and if you decide it isn't this and the other 2010 models will, I assume, be cheaper than they are now, and will, I also assume, be available for at least a few months. I'm not at all an expert, just a lay opinion.

Oh, nevermind everyone. I looked around and found this on the website: "Currently Unavailable: This item is currently not available for ordering, and we don't know when or if this item will be in stock again." Well, then. Crap shoot it is. I'll wait it out and cross my fingers or look for another TV.

I think you will see more pop up on Amazon. Talk about funny. I just received a call from my tv salesperson (where I originally ordered the 630 and cancelled due to availability) and he said they were expecting an arrival of about 50 units of this model today and wondered if I had already ordered from Amazon! I told him sorry, I did but that might mean supply is opening up for one last push. Not sure where you are located, but in Michigan, Sears had the same tv in their weekend circular for $1099; no stock in our area but maybe in yours. Good luck

The 2006 models will be replaced with 2007 models. See CNET's coverage of Panasonic at the CES for a preview of what the 2007 lineup will be (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12760_7-9675292-5.html). The larger models will have 1080p, but most of the models (including the 42px) are just receiving a new, all black, cosmetic update. The article metions a summer release, and the 2006 models were released end of March/early April last year, so that might give you some clue. Seeing as how there are no major anticipated changes in the '07 lineup except the color, you might do well to buy the '06 model just after the '07 models are announced, as the prices will likely be discounted.

It's funny that Amazon listed EE as having the TV and now they are on back order. EE has them listed as in store only. I've been waiting 3 1/2 weeks also because it's a good price when ever they get it shipped.

I'm astonished that Amazon believes that I own this device. I have, however, been searching diligently for information on this very subject. The best estimate/guess for general release is perhaps the middle of November. Apparently the W700 has experienced limited release in just a few major markets. The surprising element to me is, considering the vast number of articles previewing this and similar devices (all touting an Oct. 26th release), is the silence regarding their absence in the marketplace.
