Cheap! Mind-boggling blacks with tons of detail and amazing color saturation. Integrated card reader

TV can't display web content in its picture-in-picture box. No Netflix streaming on the horizon

An in-depth review of the 46 inch Panasonic TC-P46G10

The main thing that can be said about Panasonic TC-P54G10 is that it offers just the right balance between price and quality. Even though it does not exactly match the quality of its V10 counterpart in all areas, it falls only slightly behind it and ...

The superb black levels are the best on the market at this moment ; Good colors using THX mode ; Viera Cast and Amazon Video on Demand ; Very good value for the money

Colors are not perfect, especially in non-THX modes ; 1080p/24 content unwatchable using the 48Hz mode

With the best black levels ever seen on a plasma TV released in 2009, Panasonic TC-P54G10 can also boast about great shadow detail and contrast. These traits pile up for making overall great picture quality, despite little flaws that mar the otherwise ...

Has the same exceptional black levels as Panasonic V10 models ; THX mode provides good colors out of the box ; Viera Cast and Amazon Video on Demand ; Very good primary color gamut

Colors are not perfect. Equivalent Samsung models have more accurate colors ; Not for those with a tight budget ; 1080p/24 content unwatchable using the 48Hz mode

Amazing black levels – similar if not the same as V10 series ; Good colors provided in THX mode ; Nice extra features such as Viera Cast ; Excellent primary color gamut

Some issues encountered in color accuracy ; Not for the budget minded customer ; Flicker appears in 48Hz mode when viewing 24 frames content

Panasonic TC-P50G10 provides the user with excellent picture quality, due to its amazing black levels. The model from G10 series is superior to its little brother from the S1 series, even in terms of color accuracy, because of its THX certification. ...

This THX certified 42 inch plasma TV has impressed buyers and critics through its exceptional black levels and overall picture quality, ever since its release, being overcome only by the newest series from Panasonic V10, and, of course, the long ...

Superb black levels and shadow detail, much like V10 series ; Very good colors in THX mode ; Nice to have features as Viera Cast and Internet connectivity ; Great color gamut

Color accuracy in non-THX mode requires tweaking ; Relatively expensive ; 1080p/24 mode produces flicker and is unpleasant to watch

U.S. homes, a new lineup of HDTV sets are already poised to seize the plasma king's vacant throne.

Mind boggling blacks with tons of detail. THX mode is a godsend for movie buffs. Integrated SD card slots transform your plasma into a giant digital photo frame. Amazing color saturation

THX mode is bit dim for brightly lit rooms. Ethernet connectivity is nice for VieraCast, but Wi-Fi would've been better. At the time of testing, no Amazon VOD. Also, where's the Netflix streaming? Staunch calibration DIYers may find the picture ...

Panasonic TC-P42G10 comes with a THX Certification for faithful movie image playback, Viera Cast for Web entertainment without a PC, and Viera Image Viewer for easy sharing of digital photos and home videos from your AVCHD camcorder. With the Viera ...
