When it comes to creating quality Plasma HDTVs, Panasonic is an expert. Just take two of its best Plasma sets - the Panasonic TC-P54V10 and TC-P54G10, as examples, both of which have similar excellent features.
For one, both offer a THX certified display, which allows not just a simulation but a faithful recreation of the audio and visual ambience of a movie theatre so viewers won't have to fall in line to watch movies as they were intended to be seen. The THX mode also provides more accurate colors, particularly the primary ones, exhibits superior gamma performance and enhances picture quality overall, although videophiles might find the colors more realistic in the Custom Mode.
Another main feature of both the TC-P54V10 and TC-P54G10 is the Viera Cast, which is Panasonic's interactive suite. This allows viewers access to online updates from Bloomberg, such as news headlines and stock market updates, as well as local weather reports, YouTube videos and Picasa web albums. The best thing about Viera Cast is that it allows viewers to watch high quality videos - many of them HD - from Amazon Video on Demand, where a library of thousands of full movies and TV episodes are available via live streaming or for downloading without a subscription fee.
Of course, the TC-P54V10 and the TC-P54G10 wouldn't be among Panasonic's best Plasma sets if they didn't have impressive picture quality. In fact, this is the strong point of each, which is mainly due to their significantly inky black levels. This allows for sharper details and makes the rest of the colors appear more saturated. The colors on the TC-P54V10 look even richer, thanks to its Digital Cinema Color engine.
In fact, in spite of their similarities, the TC-P54V10 is superior in several other ways, like video processing, for example. Although both offer excellent motion resolution and can properly display 1080p sources, the TC-P54V10 has a 96Hz Mode, in which it can display 24p sources without any hitching problems. On the other hand, the TC-P54G10 only has a 48Hz mode, which can cause 24p content to flicker across the screen, especially in bright areas.
The TC-P54V10 is also superior in terms of design, even if its frame is thicker than that of the TC-P54G10. In fact, it appears very sleek with its seamless design where a sheet of glass covers the entire panel. It has a subtler silver accent, too, which forms an arc in the middle of the bottom frame. Both have invisible speakers, although the sound produced by the Viera TC-P54V10 is deeper and more authentic because of its BBE ViVA HD3D Sound technology.
The Panasonic TC-P54V10 has more picture controls, too, especially since it has a Pro Setting menu that videophiles are sure to like. It also has six picture modes, compared to the TC-P54G10 that has just five, one of which is called Studio Ref, which makes the screen resemble a studio monitor, to go with its five color temperature presets, five aspect ratio selections and a function that adjusts the screen brightness according to the ambient lighting.
The Panasonic TC-P54V10 also has the upper hand in connectivity with four HDMI inputs, two component video inputs, a PC input and an SD card slot, to name some. Still, its little brother, the TC-P54G10 is not so bad, offering just one less HDMI input. The biggest difference between the two, though, is their price and if you consider that the TC-P54G10 is just as good as the TC-P54V10 with a lower price tag, it isn't bad at all.
