Panasonic TH-P42ST30A / TH-P50ST30A / TH-P55ST30A / TH-P60ST30A / TH-P65ST30A

Panasonic fails to keep parts for its tvs – My six year old TH-P65ST30A plasma TV is junk. Panasonic stopped carrying parts for this TV before it was six years old. Choice says a premium tv should last 11 years. Panasonic argues that after three years a tv is obsolete. My TH-P65ST30A needs a $250 part for its power board. Parts no longer available. Told to junk it.

We love this TV – We bought this over a year ago and it's been a fantastic TV. I'm a big fan of Panasonic products as I've only ever had good/reliable experiences with them. I specifically wanted plasma over LCD because the picture quality is better, especially fast moving picture, a more consistent backlight system, and blacker blacks (and whiter whites). There are not as many brands that are making plasma TVs these days, as most have moved to the more profitable (and trendy) LCD market. Panasonic however still makes these great viera screens and seems to be the only large TV manufacturer still making them in Japan!

We watch a lot of 1080 digital content and when we have people over the often comment on how impressed they are with the quality of the picture, especially in a dark room where the blacks stand out above other TVs. I've now got friends who are in the market for (the newer) Panasonic ST model TVs. Amazing picture, Guide is FAST, can record to USB/SD, Panasonic = relaible Very slight buzz (that all plasmas seem to have)

Great TV, we love it! – We have had our tv for nearly two months and we brought the basic 55" Veira Panasonic. It is great with sports and movies etc... It is a nice looking tv and the picture is sharp. Panasonic is a reliable brand. So far, so good. Can't say anything wrong at this stage.

Love this TV! Beautiful picture and so easy to set-up and connect other devises – I have had this TV now for nearly 12 months. Best buy ever! Beautiful picture; easy to set-up; easy to access my computer's modem using the wiresless Lan adaptor that I purchased. Unpacked it myself and set it up without help - that's a first! Great looking - which is important and so far - touch wood - no issues what so ever. Easy to keep clean and easy to use remote. Everything - so far!!
