I own a TC-P50s30 and am looking for a dongle to receive wi-fi   any cheaper aftermarket dongles work?

Hey. I've set up my friend's music and HT stuff over the years. Last major effort was a new plasma and bluray. Had her buy a URC-WR7 for convenience. I set it up promptly with no issues, and all seemed to work well. Months later I got a distress call, and found that the remote was working...

Hello, I have a P50s30 that I was sitting watching and it made a loud "pop" noise and went off. The power light stayed on constant. I unplugged it, let it sit and then plugged it back in. The power light comes on and stays constant but no reaction from the power button on the TV or the remote...

Hi, About a week ago our 50" Panasonic Viera Plasma (TCP50S30) TV went black while we were watching it. The screen went completely black but the red LED light stayed on. WE were unable to turn off the TV by remote or by the power button on the console so we unplugged the TV. We plugged the TV...

I cracked the screen on my 2011 Panasonic TC-P50S30. Can I use a screen from 2008 Panasonic TH-50PZ80U to replace the cracked screen? Thanks!

Hi folks, first time poster here. Have read through several posts buy couldn't find the answer I was looking for. So thanks in advance for any help! Here's what I have: Panasonic TC-P50S30 Plasma (plenty of HDMI in's/ 1 optical out) Toshiba BDX1100 Blu-ray Player (hdmi out only, no optical)...

Could anyone please post their settings for Cool, Normal, and Warm in the SM? Somehow no matter what I choose Cool 2, Cool 1, Normal, Warm 1, or Warm 2 it all stays the same. And when I look in the SM, all the settings are exactly the same. I'm hoping someone could possibly go in and list all...

AVS help me out, does anyone know anything about this TV and its input lag with PS3 game console? I want this TV strictly for gaming at 720P in my game room. I already own a Sony Bravia for the HT and it has terrible input lag for a 50". http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-P42X5

Hi all: Looking to find out if any 50S30 owners (Canadians specifically) have had any luck getting Panasonic to address the fluctuating brightness issue? I've tried calling the Concierge service a few of times but have had no luck so far. Some background: Canadian, owned my 50s30 for just...

I have a Panasonic VIERA TC-P50S30 50-Inch 1080p Plasma and oddly enough, one HDMI port is not working. HDMI 2 to be exact. HDMI 1 on the back, and HDMI 3 on the side are both working fine. But when I plug an HDMI device into HDMI 2 it stays grayed out on the input selection screen. Could I...

I purchased my TC-P50S30 at Costco a week and a half ago for $649.99. I was in the store tonight and they had it marked down to $629.99. Ends on 2/25. I'm returning with my receipt to get a refund of the difference. Mr Zoid

Picked one up last night at my local store. They had 2 left. Closest deal I found was $629 for the 42 @ HHGregg. Easily beats NotSoBestBuy @ $899.

**NEW PICS ARE AT THE END OF THE THREAD** Hi all, First off, congrats to all the great setups on here. Secondly, my setup is very modest compare to some of the awesomeness on this thread. Lastly, everything I have except for the PS3 and the tv was bought second-hand. Like many others, this...

Hi, I'm looking to replace my old 42" 720p Panasonic TH-42PE7U with a new 50" 1080p set and I think I've narrowed it down to the following two options: Panasonic TC-P50S30 (regular $899.99) LG 50PV450 (regular $799.98) I normally would have gone for the Panasonic since I have been very...

Hi. My new Panasonic TC-P50S30 was delivered two days ago and I'm not at all happy with the picture quality. The picture quality is what I would describe as dull, hazy and slightly unclear. I had a Panasonic 720p plasma a few years ago and it was much clearer than this. I'd say this Panasonic...

Recently bought a 50" LG PV400 for cheap (so I thought) and now comes along the Panny S30 50" for only $60 more. I'm still able to return the LG for a full refund... but am wondering if it is worth my trouble to box up and return. Any thoughts/opinions/comments on the PQ and/or major feature...
