I have one at home (50″) and one as a client monitor (58″). They are amazing monitors and reasonably priced.

Go for it!!

Consumer monitors can’t do 24P, only 24 psf. Panny wants you to buy the Pro version:-)
Also, you can’t really use Plasma monitor for DCP deliverable grading.

Rec 709 is almost close to the p3 colospace for dcp. I would be happy if i achieve rec709 color space in panny vt 20 series model.

Thanks

And what about that weird energy saving mode that dims the screen so drastically its almost impossible to calibrate ?

Screen itself is the same for both. It’s the electronics behind it that are a bit different for both. Also the Pro model has a modular input design so you can add / change your inputs as you need. Sometimes the Pro model is cheaper because it does not have a tuner. In fact it used to much cheaper but then the consumer models dropped pretty drastically in price.

Keep in mind the floating white point issue with all plasmas make them a great secondary monitor for the client, but not an absolutely perfect monitor for color grading unless you’re able to calibrate it on pretty much a daily basis. Even then, the white will drift during the day.

I am considering to use a 42″ gt series panel. I spoke to a calibrator who said that from the current models, only with the x30 series he can access some part of the menu with an access code, and calibrate them close to a reference REC709. I was also told that there is no point doing anything like this unless I run for at least 100 hours, before I book him.

Some reviews here:

300 hours is more like it.

Rec.709 is nowhere near the size of the P3 space. Rec.709 is missing something like 40% of the P3 space’s colors, if I remember correctly. There’s a pretty big difference.
