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!

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 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.

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.

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 Excellent T.V., Very Happy, Sound Could Be Better
This T.V. is awesome, especially with a Blu Ray playing–it looks pretty much like film; just awesome. Make sure you grab some HDMI cables to get full resolution…..the cheapies they sell here at amazon work just great & there are several postings here & on the net in general saying that its useless & a rip-off to pay for expensive brand name cables—I, for on, found this to be a very good $$$ saving tip. My T.V. & Blu Ray player connected with the cheapie cables I bought here for a couple bucks works great.

Sports & T.V. are Excellent provided that the broadcast/signal is in 1080….720 broadcast/signal & normal DVD’s look good, but anything under that is not too much fun. Not sure why the Fox network does not go up to 1080 like the other networks.

Be aware that plasma technology is slated to be phased out, but soon to be obsolete or not, I love this T.V. & think it is superior to the LCD’s & would buy again w/o hesitation.

5 Stars Great Television, Great Value
I won’t say I have tried every feature of this television, but the picture controls, the VieraCast, and HDMI input via DirecTV and DVD players, I have.

The most useful feature of the VieraCast I have found is the weather – great for quick local forecasts and radar map. In general, the switching while in VieraCast is a bit slow, although some of that could be due to internet response. Setting it up was very easy – plug it into a router/switch that supports DHCP, and you are up and running. YouTube videos do okay, though searching for the ones you want to see is quite rudimentary compared to what you can do on a computer with a real keyboard.

The picture controls are not extensive, but good enough for me to get the colors accurate with DirecTV signal.

The picture on this TV is amazing – both the HD and the SD channels. The refresh rate of plasma really takes care of most problems with sweeping scenes that I have seen on some LCDs. I have had a number of people say they wish they had bought this TV after seeing mine, so I figure that is pretty telling. I’ve been using it for close to five months without a hitch. Purchase and delivery through Amazon was fast and painless. The delivery person helped me un-box it, set it up, and even offered to take the box away (though I kept it).

I have been very satisfied with this purchase!

5 Stars Delivers on quality and value
I’ve had this TV for 3 months now and couldnt be happier. I was originally choosing between the equivalent-sized Samsung touch-of-color LCD TV for ~$1400 and a Sony 50″ LCD for ~ $1900.

Normally I buy all Sony home entertainment components but this time I strayed and went with the Panasonic Plasma. I had read countless reviews and talked to a lot of friends about the plasma/LCD “dilemma”. What I’ve seen, in general, is that anyone who has bought an LCD will likely tell you to buy LCD. It costs more, but it is undoubtedly a great TV with great picture for a reputable brand. However, the more I read the more it seemed like that all the “cons” of LCD TV (blurriness when watching fast-moving action like sports) has been corrected for the most part and likewise, the “cons” of plasma (burn-in) has been corrected. Based on what I read it seems like for you to ever have to worry about burn-in you’d have to watch such an ungodly amount of TV and (likely be pausing on action) that you have more to worry about than your TV burning and should be more concerned that you’re watching so much TV. I look at this TV as a maybe 10 year investment and dont think burn-in will be a problem…can I say that for certain? No, but so far it is magnificent and the VALUE at this price is unparalled. Make no mistake, this is a great deal and a quality brand…this coming from a former Sony enthusiast.

My only gripe is that I wish the Viera-cast had Netflix integrated in like many other manufacturers have done. That aside, it’s a gorgeous TV and delivers on everything it claims to.

5 Stars VIERA G15 TC-P50G15
After reading countless reviews on many other products and manufacturers that delayed my purchase for a good month, I actually settled on the G10 50-inch unit. However the day I ordered on Amazon I received an email from the supplier telling me that the unit was out of stock and would not be available for at least 7-10 days. This was unacceptable given I was moving into a new home and wanted everything installed before furniture arrived but no problem. I had already saved over $300.00 on the purchase from this supplier and then they offered to upgrade me to the G15 at no additional charge for another $400.00 in savings. This was my first plasma purchase/experience and I must say I am still having fun playing with all the tweeks. I added the Panasonic 7.1 Blu Ray surround sound system and together with the television I am in viewing heaven. Great quality picture, very easy to use and set up and great value. The on board TV sound is good and provides a nice alternative when you want to keep things quiet in the house. But the ease of use with the integration of the 7.1 and BOOM, you are good to go. Since we are still in the process of moving in I have not connected the internet piece yet but am anxious to do so in the coming days ahead. But even without it I am extremely pleased.

5 Stars Fantastic TV
Back in June, I was looking at the Panasonic TC-P50G10 and several Samsung LCD’s. I was pretty sold on the Panasonic since I have an older 42″ Panny Plasma that I have been very happy with. However, I took a trip to the local American TV store and I have to say I was more impressed with several Sony LCD’s hanging next to the Panny Plasma. They looked brighter and more “crisp” showing KungFu Panda.

I had a hard time deciding, but after reading many rave reviews of the Panasonic and much advice not to judge a TV in the showroom (AND a much smaller price tag than the Samsung AND a free BluRay player), I decided I couldn’t pass it up and got the TC-P50G10 from Amazon.

The TV was delivered by Pilot Freight. There was only 1 older gentleman delivering it and I had to help him carry the TV in, but otherwise no issues. I was very happy with the TV and the picture was fantastic. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed 1 dead pixel and 24 of what I would call “misaligned” pixels that were black from certain angles. Amazon was very helpful and agreed to send me a replacement. The TV was out of stock and I had to wait a couple months for delivery, but since I had the old TV, I didn’t mind at all.

A few weeks ago, I had the new TV delivered by CEVA – still 1 guy and I had to help him bring it in, but hey – at least I know he didn’t drop it that way.

The new TV is perfect – no dead pixels and the picture is fantastic (seems even better than the old one – may be the newer build date or just my imagination). In any case I seriously find myself watching the picture thinking – wow – that looks absolutely fantastic! and I have to rewind to see the part of the show I missed while I was oggling the picture.

I can’t compare it to the Samsung LCDs since I didn’t try them in home, but I am very pleased with the Panny. A couple things I can comment on: Many say the THX mode is too dim. I don’t agree – in a very few, very dark shows / movies it may be a little dim, but for the vast majority of shows it looks great – even during the day. Once the TV is totally broken in I may switch over to Custom mode, but for now I’m fine with THX.

Also, there are some complaints of flickering in the 24p mode at 48hz. I do see a little flickering in bright scenes at the biginning of the movie, but after a minute or so I don’t even notice it any more and I don’t think it is any worse than I see in a movie theater – ymmv. I do have to say though that I don’t see much improvement over the 60hz mode any way since it already looks great.

Burn-in issues are in my opinion not an issue any more. I’ve never had any permanent problems with my 3 year old 42″ plasma, but when I do weekly upgrades of my DirecTv software, the logo is on the screen for several minutes and I do notice the logo for a few seconds after the screen changes before it disappears. The new 50G10 does not have this at all – I haven’t seen even the slightest hint of image retention even in situations where the old TV does show it. I think you would have to seriously abuse the TV to have any issues at all. That said, if you are a serious gamer (I’m not), you probably want to take it easy the first 100 – 200 hours and vary the games you play every hour or so.

The anti-glare coating seems to be better than my old 42″ plasma as well. The lights from the other room that would sometimes reflect on the old TV’s screen are not noticable on the G10. I have the screen angled away from the window, so even in daylight, I don’t see any reflection issues.

I can’t comment on the speakers since I use a surround sound system.

Basically for the price – this TV is fantastic. I highly recommend it. Also, if you are buying, I highly recommend buying from Amazon (and not an Amazon merchant) since you get free in home delivery and the 30 return policy.
