What is the difference between panasonic ut and st

TPS - www. That last link doesn't seem to work? The GT comes in at either 42" and 50". Not only would I seek the middle price between these two, but also the middle size! Scooby said:.

Imo no there isnt much in terms of pq from the st and gt. Thus I went for the st. Fancy seeing you here. Thanks again Scooby and Insanity - its quite easing on the bank balance knowing there isn't a significance difference.

I was lead to believe there was One other thing I have been advised - to wait a few weeks for the new models to be announced. That will push these current ones down even further I won't be able to afford the new ones, no chance! Which is true and will it really push the price down so quickly? I'm guessing them being announced will be quite some time before they actually hit the market?

Prices are already low and stock will go very fast now, already next to no Samsungs. For information on how to advertise your service or product click here.

October 3, OP Post 3 made on Thursday October 11, at Panasonic has a reputation for producing high-quality plasma televisions, and with its models the company has not disappointed.

The new lineup has single-handedly changed the level of quality we now expect from midrange televisions. As the least-expensive Panasonic plasma series with and inch sizes, the UT50 series is positioned as a value option, and while it misses a couple of features of the ST50 series, it still boasts very impressive picture quality. Black levels on the UT50 series are about the same as what we saw on the superb flagship TC-P55VT30 a year ago, which is almost unbelievable in such a cheap TV, and while the sparse color controls give little wiggle room, color accuracy isn't an issue.

Two main extras go missing: the UT50 lacks the ST50's "louver" screen filter and so looks worse when the lights are on. It also has a limited number of connections, with no onboard Wi-Fi and only three video inputs in total, including just two HDMI ports.

If you have lots of outboard gear you may need to use an external device for switching. Which should you choose between the UT50 and ST50? Do you watch TV with the lights off all the time? On its own merits, however, the UT50 is still an excellent TV and one of the best values of the year. Series information: I performed a hands-on evaluation of the inch TC-P50UT50, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.

All sizes have identical specs and according to the manufacturer should provide very similar picture quality.

It may be a style influenced by -- read "heavily borrowed from" -- from other manufacturers, but at least the company has realized that metallic brown isn't a good look.

In fact, Panasonic liked the design of the ST50 so much, with its Samsung-like crystal rim, that it used it again on the UT If you want niceties like a swivel stand you're out of luck.

The remote control is a cut-down version of the ST50's glossy clicker. It's matte with colorful buttons, about 6 inches long, and I actually found it a bit easier to use than the ST50 remote. Panasonic's previous nuts-and-bolts approach to design is still apparent in its menu system. Ever found yourself mystified by the hoards of different TV models on the market?
