Announced January, 2012

The Web browser is almost as good as the ones on Samsung and LG TVs as long as you use the touch-pad remote, but that's not saying much since no TV browser can hold a candle to any phone, tablet, or laptop browser.

The Panasonic VT30's main design improvement over the GT30 series is a single pane of glass that fronts the entire panel, eliminating the depth difference between the frame and the screen.

3D picture quality was excellent as well in the THX 3D mode, although Samsung's flagship plasma and LCD were better at reducing crosstalk.

Reviews Word on the street

	Panasonic Viera VT50		Panasonic VIERA VT30
	Rated 90% Read the review (Jun, 2012) It's clearly Panasonic's best plasma ever, and creates some stiff competition for the OLEDs arriving later this year.		Rated 87% Read the review (Jun, 2011) Compared with the GT30, the flagship VT30's main step-up features are a dedicated 96Hz mode for 1080p/24 content and a single included pair of 3D glasses.

	Rated 85% by 129 users at amazon.com The picture is shockingly clear, colors are extremely accurate with the best black levels that I have ever seen. Rated 100% by by Cory-R.-Miller--IT-Guru (Aug, 2012) The picture on this set is crystal clear, with blacks so deep you'll feel like you're being sucked in to them. Rated 100% by by M.-Floeter--Cat-lover-with-a-sense-of-humor (Dec, 2012) The picture is sharp and clear and the size is large but not at all overwhelming. Rated 80% by by Bee55 (Dec, 2012)		Rated 87% by 103 users at amazon.com Watching blu-rays and playing games are incredible and blows away anything I expect to see in a reasonable price range for many years to come. Rated 100% by by Nguyenguy (Jan, 2012) Games from my PS3 look exceptionally crisp and clear, my girlfriend and I were watching football this past Sunday and she mentioned a couple of times that some aspects of the actual games we watched reminded her of how good Madden on the PS3 looked while I was playing against my brother online. Rated 100% by by Enzo-M. (Oct, 2011) Colors are very crisp and the blacks are good as well. Rated 100% by by STEVO (May, 2012)
