Official Panasonic 2011 TC-PxxVT30 Series Thread Discussion Thread [No Price Talk] - Page 137

The other sad thing is that the price has now gone back up. It was previously the same as Amazon's lowest price last week.

Yikes!

Kuros are still being sold and used panels have more value and selling for more than your 55VT30. There are even a few NIB Kuros... although they are being sold for absolutely ridiculous prices.

I am patient. I can wait few weeks and order again. One of two things will happen, the price will get cheaper, or Panasonic will make such a huge announcement at CES that I will wait for the new model.

and what exactly is your beef with D-Nice? you sound like a 15 year old child going thru puberty.

I suggest you review Pioneer's financial history before you make such claims. They had zero problem selling the Kuros and actually profited from their sales.

I'm not the one trying to brag about the money spent. Good grief, give me a break.

A cheaper, knock-off version at Monoprice exists, and some have made their own.

If you do decide to go with powerbridge, they used to give AVS Forum members a discount back in the day.
