Big screen, deep picture
When you've got a screen that feels bigger-than-life, like the Panasonic TC-P55VT30, you expect a picture that's deeper than life as well. With Panasonic's Infinite Black Pro 2 panel improved filters, fast-switching phosphors, and a totally re-engineered panel bring you a picture that feels as legendary as your content. When it comes to picture quality, this panel doesn't compromise: brights remain bright, and darks remain dark. There's no gray area for the Panasonic VT30 (unless of course the area actually is gray). For your favorite films, the 24p Cinema Smoother keeps frames looking natural, while a gaming mode optimizes panel response to eliminate input delays. For bigger-than-life picture quality, look no further than the TCP55VT30.
3D is the way to be
With more and more content coming out with that extra-dimensional flair, the Panasonic 55VT30 wouldn't be all that it could be without a little bit of 3D. Or a lot-of-bit of 3D. You'll be able to enjoy all your favorite movies and games thanks to the TCP 55VT30's Active Shutter technology, and the included pair of glasses. Plus, the VT30 can take 2D images, and convert them into incredible 3D images in real time — see your favorite movies and television shows in a whole new way.
Me oh my, oh Wi-Fi
It's not enough that you get incredible picture quality from your Blu-ray discs, television shows, and game systems: the Panasonic VT30 is taking you online as well. Thanks to the included Wi-Fi adapter, you can wirelessly take advantage of Panasonic's VIERA IPTV (that is, Internet Protocol Television, or Instant Connect as we call it). Stream movie services like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon VOD, Hulu Plus, and more directly through your 55" HDTV. Browse news, sports scores, and headlines, connect with your friends and family through Twitter and Facebook, or browse photos through services like Picasa — Viera Connect keeps you informed. Plus, by connecting Panasonic's Skype camera and microphone (sold separately) you can video chat from the most comfortable seat in your house.

The picture is outstanding. The black levels are the best I have seen. TV has no buzzing or fan noise. You will be very happy if you purchase this TV. Gaming is outstanding no lag. You can sit anywhere in the room and picture does not fade out. The customer service from Vanns is the best.

My brother did all the research on the 3D TVs on the market and decided this was the BEST one available. So I followed his lead and ordered this TV. We could not be any happier with a new TV. It is fabulous. The picture is outstanding. Now I can see the players numbers on their jerseys when watching sports. It is such a pleasure to watch TV. We should have done this a long time ago. In additiion to a great picture, it has wi-fi capability, which is very ncie. You can view your photos you have residing on databases at the various photo sites and you can connect to movie sites, to name a few specifics. This TV is such an improvement over the 36 HD TV we bought in 2001, which had an excellent picture for that vintage TV. We also connected our Bose Cinemate II Series speaker system to the new TV, which greatly improves the sound, makes it easiier to hear conversation over the loud background noisemusic of most shows. Vanns price for this TV was better than our local market and their delivery was on schedule and item arrived in top condition.
