NO, I did not in anyway shape or form get my ya, ya's off in the other VT30 thread. I know you would like me to react in a way that might get me banned from AVS or my comments deleted. Nice Try Randy... but I will not bite.


I like to point out the cons in any TV that I am interested in, and would like to know exactly how bad they really are. So posting the Cons not only informs new buyers... but it also may bring out more information for each con.

It's an open question that I hope many of the head-to-head reviewers and shootout attendees pay very close attention to.

Some of those European reviews praised the processing on the Panasonics last year as well. But the processing on the N.A. models clearly sucked. The processing is different on the Euro models, and cannot be equated with the processing on the N.A. models.


Notwithstanding, I think CNET is more impressed with the processing this year on the North American models than last year. They said last year's was the worst processing they had seen on any recent HDTV they had tested.


Nothing like that in this year's reviews.

any info on the 85" VT30 yet? expected price. release?

 

[rogo]

As far as I know, there is no such thing. Certainly it was not shown or described at CES. There might be a successor to the VX200 (is that the current high end one?) coming.

Nothing of the sort has ever been announced. There is an 85 as part of the professional series not mean for consumers (I think it is the vx200 series and is very expensive).

 

[dsinger]

For the 85" vx200 check Visual Apex's site. They are a sponsor.

LOL. I think I missed the sarcasm in your post. My bad.

 

[caneaddict]

I know nothing has been officially announced, that's why i was checking in to see if someone has heard anything.


There was an article a while back in a Russian site claiming the TX-P85VT30 was coming in fall. Would love to see something like that below $10k

 

[cougar75]

That model 85VT30 has a problem with Red Push.

Maybe it will available in Europe, not for under 10K I am sure. In fact the new TH-85VX200U is over 30K, out and about across the US .......

There were a few articles floating around the Net with some info about it. Here's one:

Late 2011 if the article is to be believed.

Generally speaking, things announced by manufacturers take their own sweet time to ship. I would not be on things not even announced shipping this year.

I have had my 55VT30 for a week and I have seen this minor fluctuation half a dozen times. However it is very minor, nothing like the youtube video or as dramatic as some posts have suggested.

 

[spacecoast]

My 55" VT30 is about a week old and I've seen this seveal times. Each time it lasted about a second or so, but the fluctuation was fairly significant in brightness. Almost as if someone pressed a button or made a major picture adjustment. I'm fairly sure that each time the picture mode was "standard" which I find I don't use very often, and I don't think it has ever occured in "THX", which I mainly use. I'm hoping that this is something that will not occur in THX..otherwise it may become an issue for me.

 

[Dominus]

I had my 55VT30 delivered this morning. Now begins the break-in period with slides and settings from D-Nice. In a few days I will report back and answer what questions I can.


Countdown 100 . . .


I finally pulled the trigger. Life is good.

 

[Breedbeyond]

I picked mine up last night not sure when the break in will start.. Sometime in the next few days.

Thank you very much for your answers

 

[PhantomRogue]

Either my TV doesn't have fluctuations, or I totally miss them...


PC/PS3 Gaming, Movies, Comcrap Cable... So either people make these things up to have something to complain about, or my eyes just aren't good enough to spot them, because I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with my TV, just that its big, its bright and I have zero regrets buying it.


(P.S. Are there repeatable steps to reproduce this fluctuation thing, so I can actively watch for it?)

I appreciate people posting both the postivies and the issues they are experiencing with this new model. I was thinking about buying it but I haven't heard of any dramatic improvements over last years models and still some issues with the newest model. I think I'll get my old CRT fixed up and wait yet another year for something as good as a KURO. I was hoping this was the year.
