I notice that the S10 power consumption is so much higher (350W) compared to X10 (285w). Does the number means there will be a noticeable increase on my electricity or am I just too concern about the numbers. The S10 has the same power consumption of a 50" X10 plasma! 
I thought NeoPDP plasma is suppose to use less electricity??
S10 number is higher because of its 2.6 times more pixels than X10. I thought NeoPDP plasma is suppose to use less electricity??But when you compare the power of earlier Generations FullHD 42" model of G11 TH-42PY800H (475W) or G10 TH-42PY700H (527W), the 2009 G12 PDP panel use in S10 has improved power efficiency !
The S10 panel is listed as Generation 12 (G12) PDP, while higher series G panel is listed as G12 NeoPDP.
Specs on cnet report
Checking out the specs carefully and press release, local TH-P42S10K (S series) has never been identified as using NeoPDP panel with double efficiency tech, only that its circuit and drive units are upgraded for 2009 release together with true NeoPDP panel G series. Note that the S10 panel has lowered sub-field drive to 550Hz and Native CR to 30,000:1 but still has improved Moving Pic Resolution to full 1080 lines.
IMHO this current limited offer of S10 series could be one way for Panny factory to clear out first/early batch of new G12 PDP panels with upgraded latest electronics that still gives it some slightly improved specs over last year Full HD models.
