Digital camera reviews of Panasonic VIERA G10 Series TC-P42G10 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
Digital camera Review: A Good TV, with good features
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this TV recently, and it has been a pleasure to use. The screen, and the available settings, are great. I love being able to punch a button and to then easily watch YouTube videos fullscreen, to see Picassa pictures brought to life, and best of all --to use Amazon On-Demand directly on my television. This TV also has VieraLink, which I thought "I will never use" but which has proven me wrong. The beauty of it is you can, for instance, put your blu-ray player out of sight (it needs to be Panasonic of course) and just use your TV remote to control it. There is no complicated setup to confuse you. This means you can point your remote at your TV, and not be concerned with where your player is sitting. The TV will talk to the device, and vice-versa. I like being able to punch in a disk, and the TV can turn on automatically and switch to the proper input because the player can talk to the TV. Perhaps this works on other HDMI devices as easily, I am not sure.
The computer input on the side has also been a breeze to use. This can effectively turn your laptop into a giant monitor. The sound is good from the back-bottom mounted speakers, and I even like that the TV design is black with a "dusting" of silver along the bottom edge. This means it will match any of your black and/or silver devices around it. The stand that comes with the TV seems solid, but is simply pure plastic. I also find the lack of built-in wi-fi for the TV a bit annoying. To use the internet features, you will need a direct ethernet connection to the TV. You can wi-fi to a small receiver and then cord from there to the TV, but it seems like this could be an issue for those who don't want to go through any hassle in hooking the television into their Internet. Once connected though, the TV can automatically set the time and is super easy for all the other functions that come in through the Internet (such as software/firmware updates).
For those unsure of Plasma versus an LCD TV, I can safely tell you that Plasma is pretty nice. This is especially true if you watch alot of movies. The "Dark Knight" (Batman) is a great example, because you can really tell that the screen is totally black when it should be, and not simply a "lit up" black. There is a difference, and the THX on this television makes it even nicer. Overall, the screen always looks really nice and it can be a jaw-dropping experience when you watch true HD on this TV.
Panasonic has done a great job on this television, and I think you would be wise to consider this one if you are looking for a new HDTV.
