Panasonic VIERA G10 TC-P50G101080p Plasma HDTV - Review

P50G10 Delivers a high quality HD expertise with extras

The P50G10 is my second HD Plasma expertise, the primary being a 2004 Panasonic, that still appearance and works quite well. it's found another spot in our home to form area for the new G10 in our family area. When sorting out and at last choosing the new Panasonic G10, i used to be comparing decisions against this initial expertise considering each the manufacturer and also the plasma technology. whereas I even have some smaller sized LCD's, largely within the 20-32" vary, I even have never been overly impressed with the image. The appear alittle cartoonish, even in HD mode, thus I quickly settled on a plasma as my technology selection. Having created that call the alternatives in terms of makers narrowed quickly. Wh Pioneer exiting the Plasma business, and considering my expertise with my original Panasonic plasma the whole call was created. choosing that model from Panasonic boiled all the way down to scouring the 2009 product announcements and offered reviews (CNET), and creating the trade-offs on size, value and availability. This all led me to the P50G10, that was an honest work on all points. 

I have had the unit put in and dealing for four weeks currently, and should say its been a very satisfying time. The G10 could be a major maximize, from my previous plasma, in terms of image, inputs i.e. three HDMI vs one, and talent to regulate every image setting independently. I even have tweaked the image setting on the quality and THX settings alittle to sharpen and brighten the image alittle, however most of the opposite settings are superb out of the box. because the unit is stand mounted, and in a very area with largely indirect and overhead light-weighting there aren't any problems with glare or light reflection, from the most glass or its shiny black bezel. 

In the method I additionally moved up to a Panasonic BMP-BD60 (will write a separate review on it) Blu Ray player and also the 1080P image is nothing wanting wonderful. As these are each Panasonic units they inter-operate with VieraLink that simplifies and automates the method the 2 units operate along, a pleasant however not essential feature. I setup a Wireless ethernet bridge (Linksys WET54G) to feed the VieraCast operate on the G10, and it works flawlessly. At this point the number of content offered is restricted, however one will see the potential, if Panasonic will bring a lot of content services to the current operate. The G10 will use a collection of power consumption controls. There are each Input Idle and In-Activity based mostly auto-power off modes to save lots of on power consumption, that is nice as plasma's are alittle power hungry. 

To be balanced the G10 will have some shortcomings. The sound from the onboard speakers could be a bit skinny. you'll be able to mitigate this some by pumping up the Bass management and turning on the Bass Boost, however its simply not an expensive sound expertise. i believe Panasonic will do higher with some higher quality speakers and alittle sub-woofer. I, and that i suspect most others, have a surround system connected and utilize it for an improved sound expertise. 

I additionally most popular when Panasonic placed the extra inputs into a entice door on the front of the plasma, the G10 has these on the left (facing) edge. To me it absolutely was a lot of convenient and accessible to own these set of inputs up-front. 

All in all, the G10 could be a top quality Plasma with terrific options and future expandability. If offers a close to good image across multiple inputs and kinds of content.
