Panasonic ST30 Owners Thread

Stock clearance!! ST30 is excellent but Croma is notorious about selling off display pieces. So be careful on that.
 
Bought 42ST30 for 32500 in chennai grey market no 3d glass,wall bracket.

Wow! that is some serious price. Is such offer available in bangalore too. I can not digest people watching Balika Vadhu on my 50 inch VT series. :mad::sad:
 
Hello All

I am planning to buy ST30, 42 inch. I would love to buy ST50 but not within my budget.
I would like to know what is the best price I shud bargain in Pune ?
Also -
1) both has Neoplasma panel ? or ST50 has a better plasma panel ?
2) ST30 has 600Hz Sub-field Drive while ST50 has 2,500Hz Focused Field Drive. What is the difference and is it really a big difference worth the extra money ?

Thanks.

The price is around 63K at Rajesh Trading Company @ Daruwala Pool. The Panasonic brand shop at Kothrud is also owned by the relative of the same owner. Check at both places.

Also -

ST50 panel is a shade better but it is not like night and day difference. Maybe more like early dusk and late dusk. ST50 panel is also little less reflective than ST30.

2) ST30 has 600Hz Sub-field Drive while ST50 has 2,500Hz Focused Field Drive. What is the difference and is it really a big difference worth the extra money ?

Not much to an untrained eye.

However, the major factor is the 3D glasses. The 2011 Panasonic models used IR based glasses that are bulkier and costly. They are also proprietory. You cannot use any other universal glasses with ST30. The ST50 on the other hand has adopted the Universal RF based active 3D. The glasses are lighter and you can buy any 3rd party 3D glasses having the universal 3D RF logo. For example, Samsung 2012 3D glasses will work with this TV. They are only Rs. 1300 a piece. If this matters to you, consider the ST50 instead.
 
thanks "just4kix"....one last question...does ST30 or St50 needs a MKV player to see the movies ? I need to execute the MKV files thru an USB. pls confirm. Thanks again.
 
Saw 42ST30 being offered at Croma, Bangalore for Rs. 49990 along with 2 free 3D glasses :)

Can you please PM me the contact person to confirm this. Because In chennai Croma , they told that if Bangalore Croma are offering 2 3D glasses , they can also get me 2 glasses quoting that.

49990 is for a display piece..
If you still want contact, I can pass on..
 
Anyone wall mounted the TV ? What screws did you guys use to fix the brackets to the TV ?

The one provided by the panny is atleast 7cm long , but the manual says , the screws should be 2.2 cm or so .

should i need to buy new screws or they will provide ?
 
the guy came for Installation did not use the screws it came with. He felt it is not good and locally bought some screws and used some wooden pieces.He inserted the wooden pieces into the drilled holes and slammed the screws into that to mount wall bracket.

The situation is , I already bought the TV and installed. But Croma gave only one piece of 3D glasses in contrary to what they told while booking.I am going to ask that if bangalore Croma is giving 2 glasses why cant they.

In my case the installation guy was reluctant to mount the bracket(big) on a 3/4 inch rubber wood.

We had to ask our carpenter to attach the big bracket.

He went off and couldnt reach , will have to contact them again. Also Panny`s wall mount policy is PATHETIC !! , wall mount within one month is free ? :mad: what if the room is under some construction ? am i supposed to wall mount on unfinished wall ?

Even local service guys give varying installation cost. few weeks before it was 500 RS now he says 750 Rs , and he said he would consider the cost and reduced to 500 Rs , havent paid yet though

any idea on screws which goes into the TV ?
 
I bought 42ST30D last week with 1 3d glass.
Running it at break in configuration everything reduced to 30% setting with brightness at -15.
Things look good, waiting to complete 200hrs to turn things up for best settings.
Playing ps3 with no static icons or logos.
I dont see pixel orbiter or IR setting in setup menu, wonder what is wrong?
Also i see zoom option in normal tv viewing, but not in any other content via usb playback.
