5 Stars Excellent TV
I have now had my set for about a month. Straight out of the box the picture was stunning. I applied some custom picture settings as per avsforum suggestions and I am exceptionally happy. After about a month now it seems the set has really warmed up and the picture seems even more rich and stunning. The overall size of 54 inches is just right for my room, not too big, definitely not too small. I was on the fence for a year to upgrade and almost bought the 58″ panny last year. I am glad I waited as I think the 58 would have been a bit too large. About my only complaint is that I am really having a hard time loving ANYTHING in SD now. Since everything is that much bigger, SD content is just not acceptable anymore. Hopefully Dish will continue to upgrade my HD offerings. Some HD feeds are obviously of inferior quality to others. My locals, for instance, sometimes are not up to par, vs ESPN which always seems to have a stunning HD feed.
I was a little surprised to know that this unit has no cooling fans, but so far heat coming off the unit has been minimal and not concerning. Actually a fan might have increased the noise at low volumes. I have read others who dislike the sound from the set, but I think it is acceptable. I did not like the bass boost option as it added an unnatural electronic hum to peoples voices, so with that off the sound is fine to me. I do occasionally run it through my receiver for regular TV viewing, but not usually. I connected the tv through my broadband connection and find the VieraCast feature interesting but is not something I use regularly by any means. Maybe this will improve with future updates or as new content is made available. It took a little experimenting to find which picture mode I like best, but overall I use a Custom mode to view sports, and the THX mode to watch most everything else.
Great TV, you won’t be dissapointed by purchasing this. Panasonic continues to be a leader in plasma technology!
5 Stars Panasonic G10 54″ plasma T.V.
Great t.v. I did a lot of research and so far I am glad that I made this choice. I went on [...] and found some great comparison statistics and reviews.
LCD is cheaper for a reason – plasma is the way to go.
We originally planned on mounting the t.v. on the wall but it looks so good on the stand that we decided to buy a new piece of furniture for it to sit on!
I fully recommend this t.v.
I feel like I got a good deal by buying through Amazon because they give you several options of vendors around the country who have shown the lowest prices.
4 Stars beautiful picture but no pip
Love the picture quality, but I assumed new tvs this size came with picture in a picture. This one does not. Not a big deal, but I am very surprised.
5 Stars Outstanding!!!!!!!!
After doing copious research for over a year, going to stores and comparing, surfing the net, I settled on two brands, Pioneer and Panasonic. The Pana won out for price though Pioneer made the best TV on the planet. I also bought a Harmon Kardon 354 AVR. I have the Klipsch Reference speakers and a yamaha sub. My 18 year old computer wiz son hooked it up, set it up and we were watching high def TV.
Even the news looks great on this thing, but it wasn’t until I played my first Blu ray that I really experienced what this thing could do. I am avoiding all the technical terms because most folks don’t know or care about all that stuff as a rule or even understand it. I can say this the HDMI format makes it all possible. I have been into home theater a long time and this TV just took it to another level. Do yourself the favor, take the plunge, you will be glad you did.
5 Stars So far so good.
The G10 is exactly what I expected: sharp picture with great black levels. Furthermore, the anti-reflective screen is much more effective than on some of the previous models of Panasonic plasma tvs. Highly recommended.
