5 Stars 54 inches of Digital Pleasure
I ordered this Panasonic TC54 G10 on Saturday morning and it arrived on the following Thursday (4 days ahead of schedule). The delivery service from Amazon (Pilot) was excellent. I arrived home to find the TV sitting on my stand, hooked-up to my components (tip the delivery guys) and ready to provide a substantial upgrade over my 720P 42 inch set from Samsung. I bought the Samsung 2 years ago and was quite happy with it but was drawn to the 54 inch panel and the 1080P resolution. Truth be told, I felt a little guilty about making this particular purchase.

Until I turned on the new set. The size of the razor-sharp image was a jaw-dropping delight. This set has an immersive quality that must be seen to be appreciated. The screen seems to be about twice the size of the 42 inch panel. The jump to 1080P was a second huge improvement as I watch Blu-Ray and sports.

Other users have commented on the sound being less than great. It might be but I don’t know because I have the Panasonic connected to a high quality 5:1 surround sound set-up in my man cave. A TV of this dimension absolutely demands this.

The color adjustment from the remote takes a little tweaking but there are multiple pre-sets.

I have not connected the set to the Internet as I don’t feel that this is a pressing need. Maybe later…..

The deal on set from Amazon included an effectively free Panasonic Blu-Ray player. At $1544 for both with free delivery I could not justify not taking the bait. This set also was universally well-reviewed including a best buy selection from Consumer Reports.

As with anything in this digital age, there will always be something better and cheaper six months down the road but then the six months pass and the statement is still true….

I cannot imagine that the Panasonic 54G10 will fade quickly in my estimation. A great plasma that delivers a very satisfying shot of digital satisfaction. For now, this set offers a sweet-spot in the cost/benefit continuum. My buyer’s guilt is gone….

5 Stars Excellent TV
I have now had my set for about a month. Straight out of the box the picture was stunning. I applied some custom picture settings as per avsforum suggestions and I am exceptionally happy. After about a month now it seems the set has really warmed up and the picture seems even more rich and stunning. The overall size of 54 inches is just right for my room, not too big, definitely not too small. I was on the fence for a year to upgrade and almost bought the 58″ panny last year. I am glad I waited as I think the 58 would have been a bit too large. About my only complaint is that I am really having a hard time loving ANYTHING in SD now. Since everything is that much bigger, SD content is just not acceptable anymore. Hopefully Dish will continue to upgrade my HD offerings. Some HD feeds are obviously of inferior quality to others. My locals, for instance, sometimes are not up to par, vs ESPN which always seems to have a stunning HD feed.

I was a little surprised to know that this unit has no cooling fans, but so far heat coming off the unit has been minimal and not concerning. Actually a fan might have increased the noise at low volumes. I have read others who dislike the sound from the set, but I think it is acceptable. I did not like the bass boost option as it added an unnatural electronic hum to peoples voices, so with that off the sound is fine to me. I do occasionally run it through my receiver for regular TV viewing, but not usually. I connected the tv through my broadband connection and find the VieraCast feature interesting but is not something I use regularly by any means. Maybe this will improve with future updates or as new content is made available. It took a little experimenting to find which picture mode I like best, but overall I use a Custom mode to view sports, and the THX mode to watch most everything else.

Great TV, you won’t be dissapointed by purchasing this. Panasonic continues to be a leader in plasma technology!

5 Stars Easy set up.
Usually most products do not meet all the PR that is on the box – however, this G10 is all it is supposed to be and more!

5 Stars Fantastic TV in all aspects
TV arrived as promised by Amazon.com. Delivery guys did the setup and connected to the source (satellite HD) and even volunteered to take the shipping container. TV works well with amazing picture quality. I have had the TV for just 2 days now and am still playing with all the controls. Thus far my PS3, Wii and HD receiver all work well with stunning picture quality and sound. I am quite happy with the purchase and overall shopping experience at Amazon.

Great buy! I don’t think anybody will be disappointed with this purchase. Quality product from Panasonic.

5 Stars Great TV, Great Value
In my opinion, this TV gives the best price to performance ratio available today. The 54″ size is perfect. You know it’s a BIG screen, but not too big. I researched ad nauseum and am very picky about my electronics. This TV has met or exceeded my expectations in every way. No problems with Amazon’s delivery contractor either.
