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.

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.

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!

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.

Overall, a great TV at a great price. I'm not going to bore you with a bunch of positives you've read a hundred times, so I'll just leave you with one caveat. Panasonic's plasmas have a little known reputation of degrading contrast ratio over time. This is caused by the "black levels" or "minimum luminescence levels" inexplicably increasing with hours of use. That is to say the "color black" is nice and deep when the TV is new, but it becomes increasingly gray once you attain a few hundred hours of use. As of now, no one knows why this happens, or if it's effecting every single unit, but it seems to be affecting a fair number of users both with these '09 models and several from prior years. You can read about the problem here: [...] It has unfortunately affected my unit, and it's pretty noticeable. The Contrast Ratio was cut in half at about 400 hours of use and the TV now looks like an average quality LCD in a dark room.
