I purchased this TV in June 2009, and it is probably one of the better purchases I have made in a long time. I did a ton of research when looking to purchase a TV, and in all of my research, this had the best picture quality I have seen. The price on this model is not the cheapest, but I have noticed that with HDTV's, you get what you pay for. I didn't mind sinking in some additional money when I saw how fantastic the picture quality was.
The presets on the TV aren't necessarily the best..do a little research on the Internet (type in TC-P46G10 in the search engine of your choice) to learn the settings to get the best picture quality. Once you have these presets done, this TV is amazing!

I just installed this TV so am not able to comment on the TV itself but I wish to definitely add something regarding the way TV was delivered. The delivery was supposed to be done by Pilot and it is a white glove service but they subcontracted it to somebody else. So far so good but this guy drives up in an old van with my TV lying flat in the van and alone!!! The shipping label mentions "2 men". This is a 80lb. TV. Nonetheless the delivery guy is supposed to open the package and take the packing materials but he just left it like that in my room..So I must say that it was very unprofessional...I called Amazon and let them know about this..I must say that Amazon's customer service is very helpful and courteous though.

An excellent TV, fairly straightforward to use, excellent picture. We wanted to upgrade from a 32" 720p Vizio to a larger 1080p HDTV in our family room. The better quality LCD TVs quickly exceeded the price of this TV. Plus plasma produces a brighter picture, and with 600Hz refresh rate, there is none of the ghosting or motion blur you sometimes see with LCD TVs. This is upper middle-class in Panasonic's line-up, and we are delighted. Hooked up to a HD digital cable/DVR box and great picture (other than when the digital signal from our provider has issues). Beautiful picture from Blu-ray discs (BBC PlanetEarth series is absolutely gorgeous). We are really pleased with this after nearly 2 months of use.
The three HDMI ports are quite adequate for our Blu-ray player and cable box. There is still one free if we choose to add another hi-def source.
Panasonic includes VeraCast, which connects to the internet and allows you to see Utube and other internet video. Unfortunately, our home network is wireless, and the connection is coax ethernet. We will need a wireless to ethernet adapter to use the feature. It would have been nice to have a USB port or other option for networking.
The set is also Energy Star, although we don't have a sense of energy usage yet. The set is highly rated elsewhere.

Bought this TV on the advise of a high-end video fanatic friend when I told him I wanted a great TV on a small budget. The picture quality is phenominal! The set-up was easy and the whte-glove delivery folks were excellent. The process could not have been easier. The sound quality of the built-in speakers is poor, however. While waiting for my new AV receiver to arrive I tried connecting my subwoofer alone to the TV and the change was dramatic. With a real AV set-up the theatrical experience is amazing.
I connected the TV via ethernet to take advantage of the Viera Link functionality. It works very well and is easy to set up and intuitive to use. I rented an Amazon HD movie and found the experience to be flawless - no digital chatter and an almost non-existant buffer period. It's too bad there aren't better controls for FF, rewind, etc but you can still pause. Also, the YouTube experience via Viera Link is quite good.
Overall a fantastic TV with a picture quality you won't be able to exceed without spending at least twice as much.

Own a bar and installed a 42" 720 dpi Panasonic 4 years ago and was quite happy with it so I upgraded the old Mitsubishi 32" at home with the 46" G10 based upon the bar experience and CNET reviews. Went out and bought a Saunders do it yourself stand(2 hours assembly time but no divorce) for $149 and the wife and I installed the G10 ourselves. At the same time I upgraded our Direct DVR receiver at no charge as we have been customers for over 10 years. I have no complaints with the G10. I watch lots of sports and the MSNBC financial station which has a plethora of graphics all around the edge of the screen and the clarity of the print is excellent. 2 windows in the room, one almost behind the set and another on the left wall as you face the screen and no bothersome reflections. Watched the Lions last Sunday but the beautiful picture didn't improve the team.
Rented a house in Florida for 2 months last year and it had about the same size Sony Bravia XBR. I think the picture on the Panasonic is better, although, in fairness to Sony, I don't know how old it was.

I studied as many reviews as I could and finally selected this TV. I had started out planning to get an LCD or LED. I am glad I selected this one. The picture is all I could ask for.
If I had one concern, it was the folks who delivered the TV. When I first considered this I was told the Amazon had the"white glove" delivery where it would be set up, for a fee. I was willing to do that , but when I purchased mine, that servce was not available. The folks who delivered mine had only one concern, and that was to get out as soon as they could. I told them they were suppose to at least turn it on to be sure it worked. They did not even want to take it out of the box, but reluctantly did. They turned it on and said ," there it works", and left as quickly as they could. They said they do not take the box and they sure don't help me lift it up to the table.
But, getting back to the TV, its the best and I sure would select it again.

Just got this TV on Thursday and adjusted the settings according to the CNET review. I use the THX mode to watch Blu-ray through my PS3, and the picture quality is jaw dropping. I did a lot of research before deciding on this TV, and I couldn't have made a better choice. The deep black levels and high contrast ratio reveal the faintest details and really make everything seem so real and life like, something LCD TVs are struggling to replicate. I have also spent a lot of time playing games through Xbox360 which is connected through the component input, and I think I am going to replay my old games again because it just looks so darn good. If you want a big TV with the best picture quality possible without breaking your bank, I would recommend this one without any reservation.

I have been searching for a new TV (already owned a 46" 1080p mitsubishi) to replace my first 2002 Toshiba 4:3 rear-projection HDTV. I narrowed it down to Samsung LED LCD, Sony XBR, LG LED LCD. Then I noticed all the improved blackness and 240 Hz refresh rate are all trying to match up with plasma performance. I started looking for Pioneer Kuro and even it is being discontinued, it is still too expensive for my budget. Further research led me to Panasonic especially the G10 series. I saw it in person at Fry's and Best Buy and I was very impressed with the PQ. AVS forum also posted some really good reviews. I even followed the break-in routine as posted on the forum.
After the break-in, I tweaked the TV settings based on some of the settings posted on AVS forum and I have not regret a bit with the purchase. I paid 1600 and Amazon provided the white glove service with a bonus Panasonic bluray player which I sold it on Craigslist for $140. So I actually paid $1460 for the TV and I just loved the TV.
There is only 1 thing that I would pick on is that the 3:2 pull down does not always work. My IPTV have some weird aspect ratio which does not work well the panny tv. Other than that, I have nothing but high praises for this TV. The color is accurate and vivid and the black is very impressive. I cannot justify paying more for the Pioneer kuro just for incremental improvement.
The TV is loaded with features such as SD card slot, ethernet connection so you can see youtube, picassa and other websites directly from the menu.
If you are like me who wants the most bang for the buck, this is one hack of a 54" flat panel TV that you can purchase today without breaking the bank.

I have been an owner of a Sharp Aquos 42" LCD for 2 years now. I liked the Sharp well enough but I wanted a larger screen. I spent a good deal of time reading reviews and researching 50+ inch LCD's and Plasma's.
I had read a lot of discussions regarding potential issues with plasma screens which concerned me. However, my brother-in-law owns a Pioneer Elite plasma and has had it for several years. He had never seen any of the problems which are supposed to occur with plasma. In addition an acquaintance of mine gave plasma a big thumbs up over LCD. The acquaintance installs high end audio/video systems for people that have unlimited funds for their home theaters. They even fly him around the country to have him inspect their systems when they go from home to home. His view is that plasma looks more life like than anything LCD can hope to be. So based on the above I purchased the Panasonic Viera 54" plasma.
I was bowled over with the picture. Clear, gorgeous and sharp video. I can't say enough about the quality of the picture. Beyond belief comes to mind.
Delivery was fast, the company called a few days ahead of time (on a sunday no less) and scheduled delivery within a 4 hour time block for Tuesday. The delivery date was a few days prior to expected based on tracking which was nice. The delivery guys brought the box in, opened it up, put the set on it's base and set it where I wanted. They plugged in the appropriate HDMI cable from my ATT UVerse box, checked video and audio, handed me the remote, asked for my signature and departed. All in all very professional.
There were no problems I could detect with the set and was quite pleased from the very start.
Setup was easy. Internet, for example, started immediately on it's own after plugging in the Cat 5 cable. I was perusing Amazon videos on the internet within a couple of minutes.
I will update this as time goes on if there is anything else to report, but for now I'm very happy with the purchase. Nice job to Panasonic, Amazon and the delivery company.

This tv is stunning!!! Im glad I bought it. YOU will be tooo. I was going to get the v10. Just couldnt see the price difference. I think the picture quality is the same. Amazon had the best price. and i ordered it on friday and it showed up on wed 1 day earler than said. The folks at pilot delivery service was excelent. helped carry it in and made shure it worked before he left. couldnt ask for more .

This unit weighs roughly 75 pounds, and it comes unattached to its base. Installing it requires two strong men who know what they are doing even when it is to be placed on a table or TV stand-the TV must be lifted onto the base and then screwed to it. Hanging it on a wall would probably require three men.
The Panasonic tech people demonstrated no interest in helping me connect this device to another product called TV Ears which broadcasts to a set of headphones. TV Ears requires an "audio out" socket which the Panasonic lacks. I tried all of the audio sockets on the Panasonic, and none worked.
The picture quality is excellent although initially our Charter Cable installer attached the Panasonic to the set top box with RCA cables. The result is what appears to be a 720p image. This unit (and undoubtedly all 1080p sets) requires an HDMI cable. This information is provided in passing with no particular emphasis in the poorly written Panasonic manual.
Overall, getting this unit to work with the other components in our system has taken weeks of effort, roughly a dozen e-mails, and multiple trips to local stores. If I knew when I bought it how irritating and expensive the process would be, I would have waited for my ordinary television to wear out.

The TV is awesome with lots of adjustable features including picture, sound, etc. It is everything I had hoped for.

I have had the TC-P50G10 in the house for a few days now. My wife and I are thoroughly disappointed.
I have been buying Panasonic TVs for many years, all the way back to the pana-black square CRT days. They have always been my favorite. I have a Panasonic plasma in another room of the house which is a few years old and have been very pleased with it. I was very confident when I purchased the TC-P50G10 from amazon based on the rave reviews from all the blogs (cnet, HDGURU, etc..). Everyone seems to love it. However, this 1080p plasma tends to be blurry, fuzzy or hazy. There is a dullness to the picture as opposed to the crystal clear dynamism that I expect from a top notch 1080p plasma. I notice it most when watching sports. When there are graphics on the screen, such as on Fox during the World Series when they display the box with a batters statistics, its blurry and muted. The text is fuzzy. Actually, any text displayed on the set is fuzzy. My wife noticed it first and I didn't want to accept it, but she is right. We have difficulty focusing on the thing. And don't tell me its the picture settings. I have tried every combination of THX, Custom, Standard... while moving the other settings all over the place. Same thing, dull and muted. We thought that perhaps ours was defective, but we went to BB today and as we walked up to the same model TC-P50G10 on display, we saw it right away. When sitting next to the other flat panels, the Panasonic plasmas from the 2009 line-up all have a grayish, muted effect to them. Oh, and the color is a bit off too. The green isn't right. I could deal with the color issue on its own, but this sucker is headed back to amazon. Don't believe the hype. I see the potential for greatness, but the 2009 lineup of Panasonic plasmas are a resounding dud.

Ever tried to watch someone else play a game off angle on an LCD or RPTV?
Every tried to watch a film in the same condition?
Who owns the sweet spot in your house?
Sitting Dead Center and face on with an LCD and an RPTV is the only way to actually get to watch them properly--muchless being part of a co-op, turn-taking or just enjoying watching someone else play a game.
This is like the issue with stereo. There's one good place to sit. Directly between the speakers.
Plasma HDTV's have none of that and the cost to actually use one has dropped to darned close to a normal LCD--and way below a big Tube TV.
I'm very happy with my Panny.
You will be too.
By J. Burke (USA)
This is a fantastic set. No doubt about it. Here are some thoughts for those looking into this TV.
- This plasma is not going to work well in a brightly lit room or one with a lot of sun light.
- It has zero input lag, so it will work well with games like the XBox 360 or PS3.
- Standard Def TV it upconverted well.
- Blue Ray movies? Simply awesome!
- The speakers are OK, nothing great. But then again, most people (like me) will hook this puppy up to an AV receiver anyway.
- Image quality is awesome!
- This TV is very fast at processing images. I have not seen any evidence of dropped pixels or other image quality issues with the XBox or Blue Ray. Its just smooth and will look better then they do in the store.
- No image retention issues at all.
- Delivery was handled quite well.
Just sit back, relax and enjoy!

It was delivered into my home, unpacked, checked out as scheduled. My son hooked it up to cable and no adjustments were needed - an excellent buy.
By Jon (Tulsa, OK USA)
I waited until we owned this Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma TV for a few months before reviewing. Picture quality is just phenomenal! Along with the picture being extremely sharp the colors on screen are brilliant and vivid thanks to the black level on this TV which really makes the picture pop. I researched for weeks before purchasing this HDTV to find the best quality picture for the money and thus far we have not been disappointed. My only regret is not purchasing the 50 or 54" version of this TV. If you are looking to purchase an outstanding quailty HDTV at a great price point you can't go wrong here.
I read many are articles about Plasmas and one thing I believe everyone should NOT do is adjust their contrast above a level of 50 until they have at least 100 hours of use. I adjusted my contrast to 48 and it is still set at that level today. At some point in the future I may adjust our contrast level higher but for now picture is sharp and images pop with the level at 48.
I purchase alot from Amazon but I had reservations about purchasing a large piece of Electronics from them because of the individual shipping involved. I have vistited a couple of FedEx sorting facilities and have seen flat screen TV's laying on their side with other packages stacked on them. Those images, burned into my mind, made it really hard for me to order the TV online knowing that shipping would be involved and how well the carries handle our packages. I read that Amazon uses CEVA Logistics for shipping and I researched them and I did not find very many good reviews from either Dell or Amazon users. I ordered anyway because we get 30 days to return items. I placed my order and believe it or not 2 days later I had my TC-P42G10 set up in my home. I did however go to the CEVA shipping office to pick up my set. I wanted to check out the facitity like I did for FedEx to see how they handle their freight. To my suprise the facility was well organized and each and every package, which they were all large, was placed on shelves and storage racks. I saw no boxes stacked on each other and everything was well organized. I picked up my TV and there was not even so much as a scratch on the box!!!... I was very impressed with the CEVA shipping company and I would not hesitate to buy large Electronics from Amazon knowing that they use CEVA. CEVA gets and A+ in my book, FedEx gets a B- at best and UPS gets a C at best.
Bottom Line: IMHO you definately can't go wrong when purchasing a Panasonic TC-PxxG10 TV. You will love the exceptional Picture quality, I can't speak to the sound of the TV because I have a home theater system and we don't buy these TV's for their sound. For me shipping is not a concern after visiting the CEVA shipping office and my experience with this purchase.

This tv is the best I've ever owned.The blacks are black and the reds are right where they're supposed to be. It' what I expected from Pansonic because I have owned them before and they always produce a good product.I watch a lot of football and the picture keeps up with the action.
The delivery by Amazon was terrific.They called beforehand on delivery day and asked if they could come early.When the fella got here he set it up, showed me some of the features and left.Total elapsed time:15 min.
By Richard G. Harris (Angola, IN USA)
Me and my wife shopped around a lot before we decided to buy a new tv. We seen a lot of good tv's at decent prices, but most of them did not have the hook-up for the pc. The G10 is everything we were looking for in a new tv, and Amazon gave it to us at the best price. We are very pleased with the picture quality and the sound quality of the HD.
By Carly Dalmolin
I recently bought this tv and the experience has been great all around. The tv itself is completely amazing. The picture quality is jaw dropping, with beautiful colors, deep blacks and amazingly vivid detail. I have seen lots of other HDTVs (including ones I have owned) and this tv beats them all hands down. I really couldn't be happier with the quality of the picture this tv produces. All of the reviews were spot on in this regard.
The external aesthetic look of the tv is also very nice. It looks classy and the build quality seems a step above.
The experience of ordering from Amazon was simply a pleasure. I ordered the tv on a Monday night and received it early Thursday morning, only a little over two days later. I couldn't believe how fast it got to me. The price was great and the tv got to me in perfect condition. Amazon is the best.
I couldn't be happier with the tv or the buying experience. A+++
