Panasonic VIERA TC-P55ST60 55-Inch 1080p 600Hz Deal

Corey : I will keep this as brief as I can and will not get too technical. I have done a lot of the research and visited the HDTV enthusiast forums and looked high and low for the right TV in my price range. The TV I was told to buy from several sources was the Panasonic ST50. That TV was discontinued to make way for it's replacement (2013) model the ST60, so I got it. I have been nothing but pleased with this TV and it's features.

T. Dowdell (Seattle, WA): We looked around Costco's impressive selection and asked for guidance. Features aside, our eyes easily picked out the sharpest pictures and they were the Samsung Smart TVs in the $1550 - $2800 range (we didn't bother to look at the more expensive sets). The $1550 Samsung did not have 3D, had a plain plastic bezel and was at the high end of our price range so we were at an impasse. The friendly guru reminded us that in his estimation, the Panasonic ST50 (exactly the one Consumer Reports raved about) or the 2013 version, ST60, was his first choice by far in our price range. We left empty-handed.

The Multimedia Kid (Cincinnati, OH): There's a group on the AVSForum loyally devoted to a D-Nice who posted some images that can be put into a slide show and run on the ST60 (Menu > Media > (select the SD card that you have saved the images to) and slide show, to be run over and over; or use a flash memory card that you have saved the images to). The sometimes ambiguous information about the slides can be found, along with a zip archive of the slides, at: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1466472/2013-panasonic-settings-issues-thread
