“love it” 2010-06-30
By Linda M (los angeles)
I’m 70 years old and haven’t been so excited about anything in a long time. I’m also a shopper and very picky, I’ve been looking at flat screens for the last 3 years. First I loved the Pioneer elite plasma, but at about $4000 was kind of crazy – then looked at Samsung LCD which had a good review, then saw they were coming out with the LED last year, so waited for that, but was disappointed with the reviews – I always did like the plasma better than the LCD, so last year read and re-read about the Panasonic G10, then the G15 reviews, kept wondering and waiting, then to my great delight heard about the 2010 model G25 – this is it! I had a new entertainment center built to fit a 46 inch, then ordered the 46G25 – the entertainment center arrived on Tuesday and on Wednesday I got all my stuff in it and got it ready for the TV, the TV was delivered on Thursday, the Amazon delivery service took the TV out of the box and plugged it in and connected to cable – my niece picked up my old entertainment center right after the TV was delivered and I sat back and had to pinch myself that there it was, the new entertainment center with a beautiful new flat screen – I have basic cable through Time Warner, don’t even have the extra box – the TV auto programmed all kinds of channels that I hadn’t had before – all the TV channels that are broadcast in HD, like the network channels were set to two channels, for instance I have a 2 and 2-1, 4 and 4-1, 7 and 7-1, etc – the -1 channels are the HD channels, the channels that are not broadcast in HD still look good, but the HD channels are absolutely beautiful – you can set the format – so the channels that are not broadcast in HD I leave at the 4:3 format, otherwise it kind of stretches it out – there are several format and picture mode settings. I also connected to internet and watched UTube videos – but best of all the picture is beautiful – I’m glad I waited – it is perfect and I love it.
“Bright sharp colors” 2010-06-25
By T. Nolan
Had this 46″ plasma 2 weeks, buying it from Amazon, as I did for another Panasonic, 42″ plasma, about 1 year ago. The colors and crispness are quite remarkable on both sets, with the edge going to this beauty. I’m going to get separate speakers to enhance the on-board sound. I knew I would, no TV I’ve heard ever produces the sound I’d like. I’m telling you, with a DVD blue ray movie playing on this screen, there is going to have to be a overriding reason to pluck $8 down, or $16 if I take my dearly beloved along with $15 for goodies at some theatre to see a movie. You feel you are in your own private screening room with this TV, no cell phones, prattle or obnoxious people.
Dealing with Amazon is a no-brainer. With their frequent-flyer Prime account, no shipping costs when the item listed is sold directly from Amazon, it behooves frequent on line shoppers to look into this Amazon feature. I have probably purchased about 200 different items from Amazon over the last 3 years experiencing one small problem, remediated by Amazon, quickly and professionally. I truly like dealing with Amazon, with their delivery and service equal to the two other great on lines sites, Newegg and LLBean. with this TV the delivery guys carted the Tv down a flight of stairs to my cellar, (Man’s Cave), unpackaged it, set it up on a stand, turned it on and showed me how to run it after tuning in all my cable stations.
If you got about $1100 hanging around and need a quality TV experience, look into this plasma. By the way, having looked at 40-50 LCD’s and plasmas at Sears, Costco, Best Buy,etc, plasmas offer a clearer and crisper picture, more vibrant colors. This is a great TV experience manufactured by Panasonic and sold by Amazon. Can’t wait to see Sunday, Monday, Thursday night NFL on this set.

Great picture , OK sound ,easy to set up. The screen reflects light, so you have to position it to minimize glare.

“Great TV for the $” 2010-06-08
By cookieu2 (Fort Jennings, OH United States)
Had the TV about a week and it is great. Glare is not any more of an issue with this plasma than it was with my 40″ Sony 40v5100 and the picture in HD is absolutely perfect. Very satisfied. Hopefully will remember to update review after a few months of use.
