HARDWARE REVIEW: Panasonic TX-P42ST30B

 

Adrian Justins finds that, with a bit of patient tweaking, this no-frills, 3D-capable plasma acquits itself well

Solid picture performance; lack of artefacts with IFC; Viera Connect portal

Drab styling; Freeview EPG issues; 3D specs not supplied

Aesthetic failings aside, the P42ST30B can reward you with an impressive viewing experience – but with similar-sized 3D models from LG and Samsung coming in a few hundred pounds cheaper, it might struggle to find buyers

Panasonic TX-P50ST30 review

 

Whether or not you've been impressed by 3D enough to have it at home, would you seriously consider buying a big, expensive TV that couldn't flirt with the third dimension at all?

Freeview HD tuner, great with SD as well as HD, colour, contrast

No home networking or Freesat HD tuner, lacks ultimate hi-def detail, no 3D glasses included

A good TV for 2D, but the lack of included glasses and lack of HD detail means it's not perfect. But overall, this is a likeable screen that gets our seal of approval

Panasonic TX-P46ST30B review

 

If you don?t need media streaming features or a Freesat tuner, then the Panasonic TX-P46ST30 is an excellent alternative to Panasonic's GT30, as it delivers much the same picture quality, yet costs around ?300 less.

Excellent contrast and black levels ; Warm, cinematic colours ; Excellent 3D pictures ; Impressive Internet features

Lacks media streaming support ; 3D glasses are pricey

The TX-P46ST30B may not have the most attractive design or the flashiest menu system, but it delivers the goods when it comes to picture quality with both 2D and 3D sources.

Panasonic Viera TX-P50ST30b review

 

The Panasonic TX-P50ST30b seems like a good deal for a 50-inch 3D HDTV, and it includes excellent wireless networking and Freeview capabilities, but the audio and video quality are both lacking.

Panasonic got a lot right when it designed the TX-P50ST30b. Unfortunately, the image quality wasn't one of those things. The picture isn't awful, but it should be better.

Panasonic TX-P46ST30

 

Although it's missing a few multimedia features, this is a pleasingly affordable way into Panasonic's 3D plasma range.

Almost crosstalk-free 3D pictures ; Excellent contrast ; Decent price for what's on offer

Some brightness shifting ; No DLNA functionality ; Motion dithering

So long as you don’t mind the P46ST30’s lack of DLNA PC streaming support, the P46ST30 is the most affordable way out there of getting your hands on a satisfyingly large screen equipped with Panasonic’s latest 3D technology. Plus it just so happens to...

Panasonic Viera ST30 (TX-P50ST30B) review

 

The Panasonic ST30 may lack some of the extra frills found on its GT30 and VT30 sisters, but it still delivers superbly cinematic pictures no matter whether it's working with 2D or 3D content.

Proper integration of iPlayer ; Great 3D performance ; Deep black levels ; Rich, cinematic colours ; Impressive SD and HD performance

Dull design ; No DLNA support

All in all, the ST30 is a very impressive set that is in many ways a match for the more expensive GT30. If you don't care about DLNA networking support, and can live with the slightly duller design and lack of ISF tools and THX certification, you'll...
