Panasonic ST30 Owners Thread

[raghumailbox]

Why will the prices go up ? Any particular reason...?

Union Budget : 2-4% raise on consumer electronics.

Yes 42 ST30 it is.

 

[notep]

67k must be for 42".
50" is still 85++.
Just went to Panny Brand shop to pickup my extra eyewear and the sales person told me that the prices will go up for ST30.

How much are the 3D glasses? Thanks.

Devi international , bangalore says 82k with 2 pairs of 3d glasses.

If you guys own PS3 , kindly buy a HDMI 1.4 and play Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception in 3D . The 3D is absolutely awesome in ST30. With mild adjustment , both within the game and in the TV under 3D setting , the 3D looks stunning and almost zero cross-talk. the best 3D experience i have had thus far. you guys should definitely try Uncharted 3. To be honest , both me and brother were comfortable for long hours of play. The Glasses also had better battery.

I thought it was underwhelming. Best 3D implementation is Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Superstardust HD.

hi, i have attached pocket hdd of 500GB to 50ST30 and it works fine. please be advised that the inbuilt player does not play all .mkv files. i gave up trying to research and instead purchased a media player and more than happy with the result..

I am using Mezzmo Media Server which transcodes
all file formats to play on ST30

Dealer said, panasonic full HD series(ST50) might take next one and half months to reach. Not sure though. But i thought new models price will be 90k+ only. So i booked ST30.

I saw one 50" HD ready Panny plasma at Devi. It was ~58k. It has good contrast and black level and design is like samsung. The salesperson almost dragged me to purchase that one.

but i couldnt compromise myself on full HD and neopdp panel. So picked up ST30.

One dealer told me that if I wait for a week or two more, Panasonic will release better new models of 2012. This could be true?
