New Plasma by Panasonic - Viera P42G10 (Launched in India)

The 2009 - G10 series has been launched in India too, and am planning to buy Viera TX-P42G10, a definite upgrade over 42PV80.

Hey,
which part of the india you are from and at what price you r going to buy this model..? Can you desrcibe something on it?

hi ishlesh!
thanks for the valuable input..
infact i m eagerly waiting for new panasonic plasma models..
in my knowledge they havent introduced it yet..

had a talk in chenai (head off. of panasonic india) 5 days b4 they gave a cold reply...

and also.. i also inquired.. the dealers have paid up stocks of hundreds of viera.. whic are infact moving out slowly....
so they brought this ranbir kapoor add and some offers.. basically a push stratrgy...

if the model is launched.. pls give me some details..
i will be highly oblidged...

I have been advised about this model by one of my friend, who is Panny distributor.

I called him to check for 42PV80, when he said that I better go for G10 series.

I cannot quote the price he offered - for obvious reasons.

Regards,

Did your friend tell when we can expect this new series in the showrooms ?

Seems to be a full-HD (1920x1080) Plasma. This is great news but I hope it is sensibly priced.

It is - especially if you compare with Sony

G10 is it not even launched in SG. I think they will launch C10/X10 before even they think of G10.

They've launched X10 and I compared it side by side with the PV80 today. To my eyes, there was hardly any difference. A little bit better in contrast and little else. Its priced a good 12 grand more than the PV80.

Its not Full HD either - its a 1024x768 panel.

Maybe the only new feature is the power saving features of their newer neopdp based panels. I guess over the life of a plasma the ROI on the power saved might be a reason to consider these instead of the existing PV series in India.

Here are some details on G10 and X10 from Trusted Reviews
