    • 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, w...

    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 acclaimed – but now discontinued – Pioneer Kuro.

    Up for review: Panasonic TC-P42G10 Plasma TV .  The G10 series from Panasonic is an offering which has all the good features but for a less price. The main difference is in the cabinet design. The Panasonic TC-P42G10 is a bit thicker than the V10 series. According to reviews, the Neo PDP technology is the special feature of this line of HDTVs. This promises better pictures with improved resolution, contrast and response time. Read more

    purchase the Panasonic Viera G10 last year and have used it in conjunction with an inexpensive home theater. The end result is quite spectacular for an investment of less than $1K. While not quite as vibrant as a backlit LED TV costing three times as much, the viewing experience is excellent with no ghosting, smearing or other problems. Absolutely great with Blue Ray discs.

    I love this television. Even better than I expected. By far the best tv for the price. Outperforms televisions that go for twice the price. I did extensive research before making this purchase. The only things that worried me were its performance in a bright room and its potentially degraded black levels after a while (google it). It looks great even in my brightly lit room in the afternoon. But it looks even better at night when I do my serious viewing. Read more

    • Picture quality, functionality
    • Black levels may degrade after about 1 year

    I've connected a computer dedicated to home theater to this panel. Via HDMI. Using a high end video card this panel gives an amazing picture at full 1080p from the computer, this arrangement also gives me the availability to enjoy video streaming from the web from places like netfxxx. I did purchase a good dvd/blue-ray player software for this, they usually are under $100. The other reason was to share my experience with a newly installed external antenna and this panel.

    As part of my home theatre set-up this Panasonic is a winner. I previously owned a 37", which I loved, but it was time to move to 1080p and take advantage of other pieces of equipment in my system including a Denon DVD player. Set-up was easy; the new remote is a breeze to work with, setting up channels is a snap and tweeking the TV for the best performance would be easy even for a novice. Read more
