The 55″ ST-30 has a breathtaking picture. TC-P55ST30 It performs all content because promised with the exception of Video on demand audio. The Netflix video playback is perfect, no delays, absolutely no buffering issues, quite clean smooth demonstration. Unfortunately, the audio playback crackles with many speedy sharp cracks and stutters that are quite bothersome. It almost appears that the audio cpu cannot keep up quite often. Using the optical audio output to a multichannel surround sound system only supported to amplify the challenge. The TV speakers crackle continuously while playing Blockbuster online but the TV audio system are weak along with muffled so the crackling is not as terrifying to small children. You’ll find forums where this ST-30 Netflix audio difficulty has been noted by simply other new ST-30 proprietors. Panasonic support seemed to be mindful there is a problem. They will indicated a mature support engineers would get back to us in approximately a week. We have the most up-to-date software version and used both a new wired and wi-fi connection.
It’s a fantastic TV if you don’t employ Netflix or if you utilize a Blu-Ray player as well as other device to supply Netflix to the Tv set. Just don’t expect this kind of TV to method Netflix on its own. Difficult to believe they are shipping a new product this way however hopefully it can be fixed with an application revise. YouTube and all other streaming playback resources were fine.
Be also aware that the supply regarding Panasonic 3D glasses may have been impacted by Japan’s issues. The order has been delayed and many vendors are “Temporarily out of stock”. Because I wouldn’t have glasses I can’t comment on the ST-30’s 3 dimensional capabilities.
