Panasonic VT20 Owners Thread
- Thread starter satan
- Start date
Demo and Display units are available with Croma and Devi international. Try your luck and see if you can find a sealed one.
As i know, there is no sealed units of vt20 available anywhere in bangalore. only display units
Also now ces 2012 is happening from jan 9th where they will start showcasing 2012 panasonic tv's and hence i seriously feel it does not make sense to buy a 2010 model i.e vt20
I just checked with one Panasonic brand shop and they seem to have one unit. But as you say it will most probably be a display/demo unit. Also he was quoting 88K and I told him 72K. He said he will get back after checking with his boss.
If I don't get the VT20 does it make sense to wait for the launch of 2012 models before buying ST30. Prices of 2011 may come down further right?

I recently purchased this TV on christmas day 2011, I know it is a 2010 model but as far is Picture quality is concerned it beats the similarly priced 2011 models across all brands.
The panasonic VT30 which is a 2011 model is still very costly. On the panasonic 50st30 comes close in performance with a price tag of 90k. However, the vt20 does have motion judder on HD channels. But blu rays dont have this problem.

Does Panasonic offer 50 inch plasma tv in VT30 series ? I am looking for one , pl help me where I can find it and approx what price ? If it is 90k , I will still consider it !
Has anybody any idea what is coming from Panasonic in 2012 models (in 50 inch) ?

50VT30 was showing up in india panny website initially...but it was removed later on...
Need some advice regarding the 5.1 sound output from the optical out from the VT20.
I played a .mkv file on my HP laptop and set the sound to 5.1 on VLC media player, the video and sound were both available on the VT20 via HDMI. then I connected the optical out of the VT20 to my Yamaha RXV663 and I did get (PCM) digital output but it was stereo and not 5.1, has anybody tried something similar? Do I need to do any setting on the VT20 for 5.1 output?

I have searched almost everywhere possible, downloaded few fake ones too since I got my VT20...
Now conclude : There doesn't exists one. May be VT20 doesn't support it.
bilbo2000,
i have a Lenovo Win 7 laptop and when i connect it to the VT20 with an HDMI, i need to select the HDMI option in the Sound Settings in the control panel. The settings for this option show DVD quality 2 channel audio as the highest available fidelity. As a result, I only get 2 channel audio on my VT20.
In your case, can you confirm that the laptop is sending 5.1 sound and not stereo sound to the TV?
Thanks.
I am considering to buy P50VT20, I have read the posts in this fourms & on the net & it seems to be worth a buy. I know its 2010 model but still.
I will be auditioning the VT20 this saturday at Croma Aundh (Pune). They have a display pc for Demo (Confirmed). As one of my friend working in Croma has confirmed that they have 15 sealed pack box for sale. They are initially coating 76K or so which i know can be neogiated further once i get the demo.
If anybody wants to have this model in Pune can check croma Aundh, Pimpri, Hadapasar, Vimannager showroom.

Hey mahesh_jd, that's good information but as the title of this thread suggests people here already have this tv. You may want to repost on the "50VT20 offers across India" thread as it will be of benefit to members such as yourself who are looking to buy this model.

I bought a panasonic VT20 like most of you here around the month of Nov 2011, got a fair deal on the Tv and i pulled the trigger.. First VT20 i got i used the slides to take a look at the red green blue grey, what i noticed when playing the grey slide abt 2 inches from the right side of the frame a white shadow like line appeared to run vertically across the screen, i was visible only on grey slides.. i called panny and they sent their technician over, who after taking a look said that it wasn't a problem as it wasn't visible in "normal tv viewing" then i saw a movie in which the credits scrolled on a grey slide it was clearly visible. but Panasonic refused to do anything abt it, i spoke to the dealer and he agreed to replaced the TV for another VT20. If not for the dealer i dunno what i would have done.
The 2nd VT20 which arrived had a "vibration" and "rattling" sound is emitted from the back of the TV when the viewing any content having low frequency sound accompanying them esp deep male voices or bass, the whole back frame vibrates, lo and behold i had to call the same Panasonic tech's who came saw the TV took off the back cover and the problem was still there, they have replaced two sets of speaker and woofer at the back and even thou the problem has reduced 20% its very much still there.
Now they have exhausted their efforts, and are now claiming that its " NORMAL" for speakers to "Jarr" in some frequencies. i refuse to accept that.
Vol is 50. and settings "music bass +4, over 30 cms from the wall. if i change/increase any of the settings in "SOUND" for example set bass to over +6 or +8 the jarring is much more. They claim that i should watch the Tv in reset defaults, not to touch anything in the sound setup. What crap!
Its very annoying to watch Tv and when it hits a low bass note or to watch someone talking with a deep male voice and the whole tv kinda resonates. It has seriously taken the fun out of the whole experience and its frankly frustrating as much as from the TVs end also from the kinda AFTER SALES SUPPORT PANASONIC gives. They give out 3 year warranties. but god forbid if your unit is a faulty one like mine then You've had it. Dealing with them is like hitting your head against the wall. They are a MNC and a huge corporation & should behave like one.
There are many recent VT20 owners i would like to hear from all of you. Is anyone facing similar problems with their TV.

i too hear the same rattling sound of the TV's back-cover occasionally when there's some content playing with a deep bass note; but then again, the occurrence is too less. though i never thought of it as a 'problem', since most TV speakers are already known to be 'just there for the heck of it'. also, my windows rattle when my 5.1's sub lets out out a low-freq. bass note, so i thought the back-cover of the TV vibrating due to deep bass is normal 
interesting ! your post presents the issue in a new perspective.
hmm....need to think. lets see what others have to say here.
The last thing i would want to do about any of the devices that populate my room and my home, is to deal with their 'after sales' issue(s)

maybe your problem doesn't sound as severe as mine, My Tv doesn't need high volume to resonate at a certain low frequency, it will vibrate or rattle at about Vol:40 with the bass set to 4+.
Also the back cover doesn't vibrate, cuz when we removed the back cover and played the TV the vibration/jarring and frame resonating was still there. all the components were checked for loose screws but the frame still rattled when it hit that low freq. note.
Panasonic Service sucks! They say VT20 Never had a problem and never will.! What kinda statement is that! i have seen atleast 4 VT20 with issues.
