Panasonic VT65
Discussion
Looking at buying one of these, either 50 or 55in to replace my current Panasonic 42in PX70.
Any comments?
Have read about the fan noise and wonder if a GT60 might be better as it doesn't have fans? My room is big (and 13ft high ceilings) though and the noise may be lost in the space with a bit of luck.
Fancy one with them being the last of the Panasonic plasmas.

So long as you have a decent soundbar or 5.1 sound system the fans won't be an issue. the picture with a little tuning is superb, the build quality is amazing and you will not be sorry with your purchase. I have a new GT 50 inch plasma and now it has settled down the image is outstanding. With a decent blu-ray player you may only ever go out for food to work and to enjoy a decent drive......

I'm thinking the same thing. It's tricky to know when they'll really drop off though as the OLED ones won't be released until Q2 next year. I'm hoping they'll drop in late Jan again.
I'm a serial researcher so I'm not even going to worry about OLED for now - would rather have highly developed technology from yesterday than chase the new stuff.My PX70 has done me proud for over 5 years or so, so then in 5 years I could think about changing again... It's either that or wait for the rumoured Apple TV, but that could be years, and we don't know what the screen itself will be like!
Just hope the 55 will fit nicely
I believe there will be no more Panasonic Plasma's arriving in the UK so buy on enow or live to regret it......OLED may well be just a stepping stone and I am unimpressed with what I have seen for £5,000 regarding 4K. Better technology lies ahead and like 3G on mobile phones it will soon be overtaken, maybe within 2 years. Go and buy a panasonic Plasma and enjoy yourself.
Panasonic are unlikely to launch OLED in 2014, as production yeilds of the prototype panels are very low
LG/Samsung are currently running at 30% so they're having real problems as well. I think there's a lot of
development for OLED yet before it's many reported issues are sorted...
I've been selling GT/VT/ZTs steadily since the pull out was announced, and stocks at Panasonic are getting quite low, with the ST range now gone....

I'm still trying to persuade my girlfriend we need a new 55VT from you! I am still interested. LG/Samsung are currently running at 30% so they're having real problems as well. I think there's a lot of

Must sell my 50VT though.
I bought a 50GT60 yesterday which will replace the 42GT30 that I have in the living room. That will now go into the bedroom on the wall. As others have said you cannot go wrong with a Panasonic plasma and they are getting low on supply. Only downside is the poor sound but that was remidied with the JBL SB400 soundbar I bought with it.

I notice the Panasonic 5 year warranty is only valid on in-store purchases so I have to wait till I'm back in the UK next week, plus I need to measure up...LG/Samsung are currently running at 30% so they're having real problems as well. I think there's a lot of
