What is the difference between a Panasonic TX-P50ST30 and a TX-P50ST31 ?

Or is there a difference ?

I have seen a few times weher the big high street retailers seem to have odd product numbers, maybe to try and make price comparison difficult

anyone know if these are same TV and if not what the difference is ?

Thanks

I'm 99% sure it is as you say, just branding by a high street retailer who I'm not sure i can name but you obviously know who it is. I've read before they do this to avoid having to price compare.

I bought a Panasonic TH-37PX70B from them a few years ago that was labeled as Panasonic TH-37PX70BA.

Inside they're the same. Outside the ST31 has a different colour casing. The ST31 is an exclusive to certain retailers and as such isn't listed as a proper model on the Panasonic Website.

Thanks folks

they look identical so the cosmetic differences must be small

I got the ST31 for what would be a good deal on a ST30 and just wanted to make sure I hadn't done wrong

it was 599 from richer sounds yesterday with 2 pairs of glasses (st30)

it was the one i was going to order but i ended up ordering a gt30b 50 inch for 899, to then findout they messed up and ordered me the 42inch. knew the price was too good to be true. so cancelled my order and i am, myself, back in themarket for a tv. also looking at the st or possibly the gt next month.

checked at richer yesterday and the 50 was 699 with the glasses, 629 without
