Great review Thomas, thanks.

I can't help but question the 4.5 star value score though... This review is substantially the same as for the ST30--save for a difference of .004 Ft-L (if I recall the values correctly) in the black levels (favoring the VT30, of course). I grant that the ST30 is a 5 star value. But is there enough evidence of the VT30's superiority here to make it nearly as good a value?

One other question: shouldn't the VT30's 96Hz refresh rate allow it to handle 24fps material better than the ST30? I didn't see mention of that in the review. Edit: My bad. Tom does mention the 96Hz refresh rate, and says he uses it for 24fps material. There's no mention here that the ST30 an GT30 lack this, but that's clear from the reviews of those models.
