You will also get Full HD 3D at 1920 x 1080 resolution as well as 120 frames per second for outstanding clear and smooth pictures. Smoothing of the images is a task for the 3D 24p Cinema Smoother feature coming with the ST30, which basically analyzes the frames sequence and generates an extra frame when there’s need, for a smooth playback.
One other feature meant to improve picture quality is the 600 Hz technology which will smooth out fast moving images you usually encounter in action movies, for example. This technology will help the TC-P50ST30 provide greater clarity with moving images, with the aid of Panasonic’s image-analysis technology.

Nov 24, 2010 3D, Plasma HDTV
We’ve seen this Plasma TV displayed several times and has made an impression on quite a few. It’s the 103 inches, TH-P103MT2 3D-ready Plasma TV coming your way from Panasonic. I’m saying “coming your way”, but unless you’re Steve Jobs or a NBA star, most likely you won’t be able to afford this $100.000 Panasonic plasma HDTV.
Since it’s been showcased, Panasonic decided that for $100.000 it might be a good idea for the TH-P103MT2 to get a 3D upgrade. The size of the device is quite impressive, it is the equivalent of four 50-inch displays working together and weighs around 200 kg.
As for the features, the Panasonic TH-P103MT2 supports Full HD resolution as well as Full HD 3D and a 5.000.000:1 contrast ratio. This monster eats up to 1350W so don’t blame your kids if you get an electricity bill the size of your mortgage payment.
