 Stunning picture quality... |

With the rapidly increasing numbers of "true HD" TVs now out there, which one do you choose for your main living room set up? Well, here's a great contender for your money. In either its 42" or 46" iteration the picture quality from this latest "mid range" Panasonic plasma TV is absolutely superb and still maintains a visible lead over the best top end LCD TVs for sheer depth of colour and "realism" - check it out in store with a fast moving Blu-ray movie if you need convincing. And, if you've got a satellite dish, the built in Freesat delivers BBC HD and ITV1 HD in all their stunning glory... even standard definition programmes look better than you've seen them before.
Downsides? None really, although you really do need a full home cinema system and a blu-ray player to go with it and, to make life easier and to avoid multiple hand controllers, you'll need to stick with Panasonic's offerings here - which could be a problem if you already already own other manufacturers' products. Also, to get more HD content than just BBC HD and the, currently, extremely limited broadcasts on ITV1 HD you need a SKY HD box, not just Freesat - but that's a generic problem with HD broadcasting in the UK.
However, combine this TV with Panasonic's equally superb SC-BT100 Blu-ray disc Home Cinema system (in its full 5.1, five speaker configuration) and you'll be knocked out by what you get... incredible, cinema quality pictures & sound at a price that, even a year ago, was unthinkably cheap. |
Panasonic G10 Plasma

I bought this 46inch G10 TV as a replacement for my old Panasonic Plasma TV, which was needed elsewhere. Before buying I looked around at various other types of TV's including Samsung Led TV's which I like a lot, but being that there based on Lcd technology they still have issues with fast movement and can't generate black properly so I decided against them. My old Panasonic TV was a budget model and the picture quality on this model is easily twice as good as the old one, the biggest difference is during dark scenes where it has no difficulty in rendering complex detail naturally, the budget model would lose a lot of the information on screen and couldn't seem to handle the detail at all.
The main reason I bought this TV though wasn't just because I picked it up cheap in the sales which I did, but because it has a built in freesat hd decoder, anyone who owns a flat screen TV will tell you that the hardest part about watching one is watching standard def TV up converted on it. I had been considering upgrading to Sky hd after seeing how good it looked at a friends house and after a couple of weeks of watching bbc and itv hd I can tell you that the quality is excellent easily as good as Sky hd if not better with no noise or pixelation, it generates a very natural image. The Freesat image is technically slightly less than the quality of a blu ray player, but I found the movies I watched on freesat hd looked more natural and detailed than Blu ray images but that just might be my player. BBC hd is also showing all of its movies in the proper aspect ratio instead of panning and scanning like it does on its main channels, channel four and five are due to launch later on. This TV also has a built in Ethernet connector for use with bbc iplayer which is due to launch later on freesat.
The picture and the black level on this TV is excellent and as good as a Pioneer Kuro which costs about 3 grand, but i realy should give it 4.5 stars instead of 5 because the sound on this TV is just as weak as on my old model and as a result I will probably have to invest in a sound system. But ime going to give it the 5 stars anyway because theres no other manufacturers out there who can produce such a great TV image as this except pioneer and there prices are ridiculous.

OK first let me tell you what I required from my TV before I bought it.
I have an Xbox-360 I use for Gaming and as an extender for windows media center
Also I wanted a TV that would have free to Air satelite built in .
Also I have a Upscaling DVD player I wanted to conntect to it .
After many months of reviewing different TV's I decided to go for G10 range of TV's
Initially I was going to buy the 42G10 but the 46 inch was on sale for 750 this christmas.
Firstly the screen is excellent and stays quite cool which for a plasma is very good indeed
the standard Def TV displays much better than any LCD I have seen
So the Picture on the Xbox-360 for Gaming is Great .
With windows media center It works very well
I also watch MKV's from media center and the quality just shows how good the TV really is .
the Free sat was very easy to setup and the BBC HD and ITV HD are especially good with the football picture quality just as good as I could have hoped for. with regard to the picture settings . for me the normal setting looks great. Finally the little cloth that comes with it for cleaning the screen works a treat
there are only two things that I have issue with
1. the sound quality from the TV alone is not good enough for me , But I have a 5.1 surround sound system so that is not a problem for me ( lets be honest who buys a 46 inch tv without having their own surround sound system )
2. the upscaling from the DVD player does not produce the type of quality picture I was hoping for, But this is a plasma and that has always been the trade off . So I will have to invest in a BluRay player . AS tyhe MKV's I have look a lot better than the DVD quality.
UPDATE : Is it just me or is the picture quiality improving over time ??
All in All you will be very happy with this TV

| This TV is excellent in all respects, even the built in sound system is very good. Having bought it with two other Panasonic products I am disappointed not to have been able to use only one of the controllers as advertised. We have it wall mounted, very impressive. |
