Excellent picture quality ; Affordable for a 50in Panasonic plasma ; Good multimedia features

Not the brightest picture ; Some jaggedness with 50Hz sources ; Not helpful for wall mounting

Surprisingly, the P50G30 isn’t quite just the the P50GT30 minus 3D we’d expected it to be; it’s also got a chunkier design than its 3D brother, and features a watered down Infinite Black variant versus the P50GT30’s ‘Pro’ version. And it doesn’t have...

Excellent dynamic range and contrast performance ; Superb calibrated greyscale and gamut performance ; Very good scaling performance of SD material ; Extremely stable retention of black levels whilst displaying brighter content simultaneously ; Highly...
