This has been a subject of numerous requests for a review, I'll do one (hopefully) by next week. I've just been out of a recent illness, hence, my inability to answer PM's in a timely fashion.

What's your take on the 42UT30, mr. Clondalkin?
Title: Re: Panasonic 3D Full HD TH-P42UT30S Plasma TV Review
Post by: Clondalkin on Jan 30, 2012 at 04:30 PM
I dont know.   I haven't see one, but very good price.  It seems Panasonic has been forced to offer a 3D model to compete against the reasonably priced 3D models of the Korean brands.

My guess ne - it should be similar to the performance of the ST30.  Baka nga ST30 panel yan (the same way that the GT30 image is arguably the same as the previous year's VT20 panel).   I think it would be a shiny panel (because it's expensive to add an advanced anti-glare layer sa panel) so you would need to control room illumination more.   Kung medyo madilim ka manood, no problem at all.  Cant expect same level of blackness as that of GT or VT series, pero very good local price nga.   Should be more energy efficient than previous models.

They should offer this model in 50 inch.

Post by: E-reply on Mar 03, 2012 at 12:50 PM
hows the power consumption of this plasma TV vs lcd? mahal ba?

42UT30 maximum consumption is 280 watts (the maximum is based on no picture presentation but of full white brightness).

On the average 42UT30 is 175 watts, which is about 10% higher than LCD power consumption.  :D
Title: Re: Panasonic 3D Full HD TH-P42UT30S Plasma TV Review
Post by: Tavus on Mar 03, 2012 at 04:40 PM
oh i see. . so yung  wattage na naka lagay sa likod ng plasma TV, isnt really its average usage? So the 280 watts is when the TV is displaying on full white and

 175 watts average is close to panasonics lcd TVs wattage which is around 180, so its not a big differene.

 :o
 Well you learn something everyday.

Bought the 42" at Listen Up Glorietta for 36k. Delivery on thursday.
So I tested it out over the weekend and to my untrained eyes all my videos look better compared to my LCD panasonic 32lx80. I blurted out Oh my God when I played a video because the picture looked so good. But I must say that the video from my external hard disk looks better when viewed using my samsung bluray player than just connected straight to the tv's usb slot.
It can play mp4, mkv, avi files but some lost their audio.
The panel is very glossy/reflective so you really need curtains.
I downloaded some free movie trailers and videos and 3D was just amazing, especially the sample video from Imax's under the sea.

The few things going for the 43d490 is it can read more formats from its usb and its just 1 inch bigger but you'll hardly notice the difference.

Bought a Panasonic TH-42UT30M from Sights and Sounds yesterday. I choose this over the Sony 42EX410 LED. So far my family and i are enjoying this unit. Just one question, how do i properly "break in" this plasma tv? Ive researched a bit and found that i should set contrast and brightness below 50%, refrain from watching content with "black bars" and static images and avoid playing video games. I'd like to get expert advice for this particular unit though. So comments and suggestions from more seasoned pinoydvd members are well appreciated

The new UT and ST series do not require break-in, since they are now not susceptible to burn-in. Even the image retention is not that of an issue. Just set your TV according to your personal preference, without having to worry that it might be damaged by over brightness.

BTW, thanks for the purchase. Happy viewing!  :D

talaga sir?
ako rin natakot sa image retention kasi sabi sa manual wag daw ibabad ng matagal sa isang channel. first time plasma owner din ako. naka-zoom in ang movies para walang black bars at no settings over 50 to be safe.

Ok na ko sa 42" Panny deal, pero if kaya pa difference, i'd jump the bigger one, para tumagal ng konti. I am sure my son will get a huge kick out of it.

The Samsung 43e490 presents a bit reddish primary color.

Panasonic UT offers more natural color.

The Samsung might be compared to the old days of Fuji film developed picture with color more on the reddish side. The Panasonic is a Kodak look alike developed picture--very colorful yet natural skin tones.  :D

I tried connecting the audio of the NMT directly to my receiver and it detects DTS naman pero pag galing sa tv pcm pa rin. My NMT is measy x5. From the manual may nakasulat naman na SPDIF option sa audio pero pag try ko sa tv wala naman lumalabas. Thanks

Try to use Manual Tuning in channels that weren't stored during the initial Auto Tuning. Check page 44 in your manual.  ;)

Hi Sir Nerveblocker,

actually the manual is in chinese so i cant understand it. (http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l548/joelisaiahlavares/2012-07-08071849.jpg)
moving forward, i tried using the manual tuning but it searched only channels the same in the auto tuning. I noticed the it searched only the channels in the latter part of the destiny cable channels. (http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l548/joelisaiahlavares/2012-07-08071833.jpg) and the channel search is only up to 69 channels. any ideas will be greatly appreciated. TIA!
Title: Re: Panasonic 3D Full HD TH-P42UT30S Plasma TV Review
Post by: nerveblocker on Jul 08, 2012 at 05:57 PM
Bro go to Menu>Setup>Tuning Menu>Channel List Edit.  You will see all of the channels.  Just go to the channel that wasn't included in the Auto Tuning and check the box on the left of the channel so it will be included in the memory of the channel list. You can even edit the names of the channels if you want. 

You can also go to Manual Tuning and search the channel by pressing channel up and down in you remote and when you find that channel, just press Store. 

Hope this helps.

Both units are excellent choices...

But if you really need 3D get the UT30...  But if you are ok with just plasma and use it for occasional HD movies and mostly for cable TV viewing... the 42X50 is a very solid plasma unit...

I'd get the 42UT30 .... best value plasma with 3D

thanks you sir! di ko kasi alam kung ano ba talaga ang ok.parang no winners and losers between active and passive..sabi nila panget daw ang active kasi masakit sa mata.gawa ng may flicker.sabi din nila mas maganda ang picture quality ng active kesa passive..passive naman di masakit sa mata pro picture quality eh di kasing ganda ng active..sabi ng mga active users,kaya daw sinasabi ng mga passive users na pangit ang active kase yung iba cant afford.lol...mahal ang glasses ng active..for me it doesnt really matter kung mahal yun glasses..ang impt sakin is maganda yun picture quality and di masakit sa mata..i guess mga lumang model yun nag fiflicker? anyway iniisip ko kung ano ba ang mas ok 42ut30 or 42vt30. malaki ba ang difference nila? gusto ko na kse bumili ng full hd plasma 3d tv. i have lg 42" LED 1080p yun picture quality nya is ok lang.parang di sya wow.colors nya mejo di kasing ganda ng plasma n lcd.edge lit sya so pag may part na madilim nakikita ko yun ilaw sa gilid gilid.. hassle.. ;-(

Would an NOS 42UT30s still be a better buy than a Sammy 43F4900? They're  my choices at the moment. The 51F5000 (whose picture quality I really prefer to the HD-Ready F4900) is kinda big for me. I haven't seen this in action yet, though. All I know is this is a Full HD Plasma so I'm assuming the pixels are smaller than than an HD-Ready unit.

I don't know if it's better but my panasonic ut30 is very satisfactory. I use it in our living room with lots of light coming from the windows but it's fine. The problem of the reflective glass only comes up when watching very dark scenes.
But i admit i would've bought an st30 or vt30 if i had the cash. Less reflective daw.

Sorry to bring up a fairly old topic.

Just a quick question...  Is this (42UT30S) still a good buy @ PhP 25k, or for the same price (or a bit more), I can get better?

just go buy a 51inch samsung for about 29K... they have similar PQ... You get bigger size...

Ahh okay. Kala ko ibang Samsung dahil 29k. 31k+ daw kase mababang price nun. Pero sana mas bumaba pa para ma-consider ko na din hehe! Bigger screen tapos saktong lapit lang ang couch para cinema like hehe!

Good day sir,

I am a newbie here in pinoyDVD forum but it helps a lot especially for all the review/ information given by the members. I just want to know on how to get a better analogue cable feed on the Panasonic 3D Full HD TH-P42UT30S. I have tried auto and manual tuning but 'm getting scrambled picture and audio. But when I hooked up the cable to my old VCR and I connected the RCA video out to the TV, the reception is really good. I hope you can help me and give me some tips on this matter. Thank you and more power!
