Damn, 82 inch DLP for $100 less than I spent on the 65 inch Panasonic.

Folks, the 65GT30 is AMAZING! I am so impressed with this TV. All I've done so far is set it to the THX presets... from what I've read they are pretty accurate. I don't see the need to calibrate it out any. Granted my 51 inch Samsung plasma is middle of the road but this Panasonic blows it out of the water. I'm even (mostly) happy with the size. At the distance we sit back from the TV I think much larger would be a problem... kinda like sitting in the front row at the movie theater. Having to move your head around to watch it is not pleasant.

Congrats man! Very nice. I almost pulled the trigger on a panny GT50 65", but ended up going 73" dlp.

I did a lot of research on your GT 30 as well, you got an excellent deal and a high end plasma for sure, nice. Enjoy it!

In the future, do you think you will calibrate yourself with a cal disc? I was thinking of getting the Disney WOW disc, seems to get great reviews for self cal...

Honestly I would probably not bother calibrating it unless I found a way to do it really cheap and I managed to have the time perhaps. I read that the THX setting is pretty close to what I'd get from calibrating it and it looks pretty good to me.

*edit*

Well I see the Disney WOW disk is only 22 bucks on Amazon so maybe I'll try that out when I get some time.

Well, it looks like the Panasonic VT50 is kicking the Pioneer Kuro's butt, as to picture quality. If you have a Kuro, you might want to think about selling it now, because the value will be going down big time soon.

looking at the photos in your link tells me that the Panasonic was better adjusted than the Kuro, but the Pana. could still be better adjusted than what we see.
the only way to make a good judgment would be to have both tv's calibrated by an expert and judge the two side by side.
a camera is no good for that either.
