Roger Beckett - TX-P50ST60B opinions please

[Roger Beckett]

I am considering purchaseof a Panasonic plasma TV in New Zealand. The model number here is TH-P50ST60, which is probably TX-P50ST60B in the UK. Has this model been reviewed by What HiFi?

Try to change the title of this thread to something more immediately relevant to the subject, rather than your name. You may have to contact one of the What Hi-Fi staff in order to do so.

What do you want to use the TV for?

If you're only concerned with watching TV and DVDs/BDs, the ST60 is an excellent choice. If you're a keen gamer, input lag on the ST60 is pretty high, so you might want to consider a different TV.

On the subject of lag, the Sony 905 is an exceptional TV for gaming. See this review for details:

Obvioulsy the Sony is an LED TV, so can't match the ST60's MLL and native contrast.
