There has been some speculation that they might work with both BT and IR. Not for me.

Some of us read Robert Zohn's report on Home Theater Shack which said they might be universal based on his results with an LG display.

"Now we tried the new glasses on LG's 60PM9700 and they work perfectly!!!"

So far, I absolutely LOVE it! Believe it or not, I love the DLNA feature. I have a NAS drive with a ton of my DVD/Blu-Ray rips and streaming my content directly to the TV is a huge plus! No more need to stream via my PS3

"Guarantee he made a logical mistake that i fell for before as well. When he synced the glasses to the Panasonic tv, the sync coincidentally was on the same or extremely close timing to what the elite was doing and same thing later on w/ the LG so the 3D image worked and gave the false assumption that the glasses were synced to the non panasonic tvs.

I've mistaken this once in the past when i was pairing 2011 BT samsung 3D glasses to a 2011 samsung tv and a 2011 IR panasonic set was nearby and the 3D image worked on the panasonic as well. For a moment I thought samsung glasses worked on Panasonic sets until i put the pieces together of what happened, tested my theory, and realized i was correct in that it was just coincidental timing of the shutter. It's actually not as difficult to do as one would think."

First of all, regular humans are unlikely to perceive the GT as having a better picture. In this case, I count myself as a regular human.

Second of all, the ST design is simple and neutral. While some people like the GT design, I find it hideous. YMMV of course.

Third of all, since you are after a 60", there is no reason to wait for the VT, which is coming in 55" and 65".

I don't think I will be able to see them in person before I buy.

Can anybody confirm that the ST50 series does in fact have this feature?

FYI...you can order the ST50 or pre-order the GT50 for 20% off msrp on Panasonic EPP right now.

Robert is very knowledeable and is a great salesman - he oozes it unfortunately for him it bleeds through in his words when he posts, especially since he is also enthusiastic about the brand. I have a salesman like this at my workplace and he just can't help himself as he lives and breathes this stuff. I do sales and purchasing in the electrical/electronic wholesale distrubutor industry and i deal with salesmen and marketing all the time and i just don't see any marketing coming from the insider - not even from between the lines. And i know when i'm being marketed to or sold to

Both these guys come across as honest and sincere, but one is in development and the other is in sales/marketing and there's nothing wrong with that. Both have been among the most helpful people on the forums as far as getting accurate info out to us enthusiasts.
