now i'm torn with this and the vt30... does anyone know where I can test these 2 side by side?
Try checking Listening in Style in Megamall or SnS in Shang...
The VT30 is a fast moving item and stocks may soon run out... Call them first and see if they have the UT50 and VT30 to do a side by side demo...
But based on VT30 owners here in PDVD... PQ / IQ OF THE VT30 IS ONE OF THE BEST... 2nd only to the now discontinued Pioneer KURO plasma monitors...
VT series has always been the flagship series of PANA... you cant go wrong when chosing this model...
UT is also ok... Just demo them if you can to have a more informed choice...
