Great picture, amazing value
After searching for a suitable 1080p replacement for my older 720p Philips plasma, I first tried the massive Samsung PN-58B550 because it seemed like a great value, but--and since this isn't a review of that TV I won't go more into other than to say that for all I could do the colors were either flat or the blacks were grey and there was a constant buzz that is common with some plasmas that I just couldn't stomach for such an expensive and supposedly great device--given its shortcomings, I decid...

Simply gorgeous!
This is my first HD set, although I have watched a lot of HDTV at friends' homes over the years.
The picture of this TV is simply amazing. The color in THX mode is truely mesmerizing (to borrow a perfectly apt description from a previous reviewer). It is so good that I try to use it most of the time unless the room is very bright (I have large windows on two walls in the room, so if it's sunny outside and the curtains are up, it gets too bright for THX mode). Yes, THX mode is dark,...

Best picture quality and price combination
I bought the TC-P50G10 three weeks ago, and am very happy with it. I did a lot of research and tried out a number of TVs before settling down on this one, so I thought I would share some of the information and my experience with the TV, and hopefully make your decision in choosing the TV a bit easier.
First thing first. According to my research, the Panasonic G10 probably has the best picture quality among all TVs in mass production as of the time of this review (May, 2009). Most impo...

P50G10 Delivers a quality HD experience with extras
The P50G10 is my second HD Plasma experience, the first being a 2004 Panasonic, which still looks and works quite well. It has found another spot in our home to make room for the new G10 in our family room. When searching for and finally selecting the new Panasonic G10, I was comparing choices against this first experience considering both the manufacturer and the plasma technology. While I have a few smaller sized LCD's, mostly in the 20-32" range, I have never been overly impressed with the pi...

Mesmerized
I received the 50 inch G10 about a weak ago. Setup was a simple procedure and I have been able to view the tv in a variety of lighting situations and video source formats. The set is in a brightly lit room (ambient) and I have utilized the THX setting as well as the custom settings outlined in CNET. I do get some glare but it is from a bay window directly opposite the tv and is resolved by shutting the curtains. The picture is bright enough (I use the custom setting during the day) and the noise...

Good value; great picture quality
I've been researching flat panel TV's for about a year now, and thru showroom viewing, friends' recommendations, online reviews (purchasers and experts), and Consumer Reports, I had narrowed my field down to Sony LCD Z- and XBR Series, Samsung LCD and plasma(550, 650, 750), and Panasonic plasma (PZ-800, PZ-850). The Sonys had great picture quality but were pricey. Samsung also had some good values but I just cannot get past the "Touch of Color" red accents on their mid and upper level TVs. [C...

Great value, personally dissapointed moving up in size
This TV is replacing a 2003 42" Panasonic 720p HDTV Commercial Monitor (a 2001 model I think). I have always been happy with the picture on that set, except in its current location it is not bright enough during the day. I figured I might as well go a little bigger too.
The set is very good, but my wife said that she liked the picture on the previous TV better! This is because we sit too close to the set and we can now easily distinguish subtle imperfections in various video sources. ...

AWESOME TV
I like Plasma TV's much better than LCD TV's. To me LCD looks to bright. I love the dark black level's of Plasma TV's.The picture on this TV is awesome. Standard cable looks the same. But HD cable like ESPN looks awesome. Watching sports in HD is the way to go. I have the video settings configure like CNET settings custom settings. I use the THX setting when watching movies. DVD's looks great. But blu-ray movies look amazing. I have all the sound going through my Harmon Kardon receiver except wh...

By far the best TV for the money
Beyond awesome picture. Blacks are so black and the colors are perfect. There is no reason to buy any other set. LCD's with LED backlight are the only ones even close and they cost several thousand more. The Vieracast works so easy. Just plug in a cat5 from your network and your all set. One touch of the remote and you have weather, Stocks, Youtube and more. If you buy anything else just remember you bought the wrong TV. THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT.

About 15 minutes from box to power-on
A neighbor and I (combined age close to 100) got this out of the box, screwed into its (included) stand, and onto a table in about 15 minutes. The TV itself weighs about 70 lbs. and is easy to handle.
The picture and sound are great, fed with a 1080i signal via HDMI from a Verizon FiOS set-top box.
The remote control could use some re-thinking. If you are fumbling with the remote in the dark, there is a switch to turn on the button backlight. The switch is right next to ...
