Summary: Great Product.... for the first 200 hours of viewing!
Comment: I, along with many other Panasonic TV owners, bought this TV after reading a multitude of both user and professional reviews. The TV was billed as having incredibly rich and deep blacks, great picture quality, and much more.
We were lied to. Panasonic has admitted that 2008, 2009, and new 2010 plasmas have a feature that increases the voltage to the screen over time, reducing the contrast ratios and increasing black levels (less black, more grey) enormously. The TV will look great for the first few hundred hours of use, and then the black levels will increase noticeably. This is not something that only videophiles can notice; novices and professionals alike have discovered this problem on their sets.
While some users may not find this to be a problem, you should know that it DOES exist before you buy. You should also know that Panasonic's response to this problem has been to essentially admit fault, but claim that it is, in fact, a 'feature'. Needless to say many consumers of this product feel betrayed, especially given that one of the main strengths of Panasonic Plasma (in fact, one of their main marketing points), has been the deep and genuine blacks exhibited by their plasma screens.
If you feel compelled to research this issue further, please visit AVforum or simply search for the issue on Google. Also note the fact that CNET, a major professional review site, has lowered their 2009 rating of this product by a full point/star (out of five) due to this issue.
I, for one, await a satisfactory response from Panasonic
Buyer be warned.

Summary: Happy I purchased this TV.
Comment: With new found riches of my tax return in my pockets, I performed an extensive search for a new television. At first I favored LCD, however, I chose plasma based upon reviews indicating the excellence of the picture. I purchased a 50" Panasonic TC-P50G10 plasma television along with a Panasonic SC-BT300 home theater system and I am very impressed with the picture and sound quality. The colors are strong and natural. The blacks are deep and the contrast very good. The audio is strong with blu ray, standard dvd, and regular televsion. I have an extensive library of black and white movies which play well on this television. I watch a great deal of older movies on TCM and I am very happy with the picture and audio. My stress levels have now eased with the knowledge I made the right purchase.

Summary: Great TV
Comment: The TV arrived with a little confusion by the dispatcher communications, but was received on the day promised by a very polite and helpful driver.
The picture clarity is very good, but the controls need a little getting used to by experimentation. The guide book is a little confusing and the remote instructions are a bit lacking.
The look is sleek and the value is good.

Summary: best christmas present I ever bought myself
Comment: After a couple of mnoths with this TV, I couldn't be happier. I did months of research and this was definitely the best TV for the money. I hooked up to a PS3 and Yamaha 7.1 receiver so my son is in seventh heaven. I'm even amazed at how good non-HD channels look on it.

Summary: Black levels dont last
Comment: I bought this TV and have about 500 hours on it. The black levels abruptly rose one day making black colored content appear much more grey. This killed my picture quality (which was otherwise very good). I contacted Panasonic support regarding this issue, and even though I am still under warranty, they completely blew me off. BUYER BEWARE, and do research before buying this product. See the (...) review of this product for more information (I wish I would have before buying).
