Hi there
Check croma mumbai as i have also get the deal from croma only as they have to clear the stocks, before G30 arrives......

Yes it is a cheap one as it is not Full HD, resolution is only 1:2000000 and doesnt have PDP panels.

i have done a lot or research on all three tvs and watched them side by side and u can make difference in hd and fhd tvs.

if u can afford to buy than go for v2o if available or else get full HD U30D or else get X30 which is also a very good tv but not better than rest of the 2.

Today I checked the 42U30 model at panny showroom. I took 1080p samples downloaded in .mp4 format. The tv played only the video and no audio output came. Checked with X30D and still the same result.

Can anyone tell me why it couldn't play the audio? Doesn't panny support mp4 audio?

Cheers,
Esh

Most of the .MP4 files will have AAC as the audio codec and most of these equipments having problem playing AAC files. Check for MP4 files with other codecs or convert your files to ac3 using tools like Handbreak.

I got it at Sadasivanagar branch at 52k and they offered me at 53k in New BEL road. I believe there are still 2 sets in their warehouse but their offer was only until yesterday (July 10th) but anyway you can give it a try. Contact the sales guy 'manjunath' in the sadashivnagar branch and ask him for the same offer and you might get it at 52k.

Is there any way to play these mp4 files on Panasonic? I downloaded the software that you had mentioned and converted the video - however the video size doubles and the framerate halved (video is playing very slow). Can you pl help me out with what exactly i need to do?

Hi All,
Need ur help for the followings:

1.) From where (website) on internet i can download free HD/FHD movies and material.
2.) How many hours i can play the plasma without shutting it down in first 100 hours.
3.) No zoom/aspects feature is working while playing movies through USB (it was played in 16:9 format only but no zoom to it).
4.) In The box i have got one year warranty but from where i'll get the remaining 2 years warranty offered by panasonic as installation guy said that it would be available at Croma store.

Thanks in advance

Many tvs have limiited codec decoding themsleves. I suggest u invest in a media player like WDTV ( apprx 5-6k ) and hook it up to your tv.. would be able to play all formats.. problem solved...
