RM 7000.00 FOR A FLIPPIN TV !!!! WTF !!!!

What the flip are you referring to?

From what I see at the official website, the different between the two model are as below:


- Panel ->
G10: G12 Progressive Full-HD NeoPDP
S10: G12 Progressive Full-HD Plasma Display Panel

- Contrast Ratio ->
G10: Dynamic: Infinite Black/Over 2,000,000:1; Native: 40,000:1
S10: Dynamic: 2,000,000:1; Native: 30,000:1

- Subfield Drive ->
G10 : 600hz
S10 : 550hz

- Shades of Gradation ->
G10 : 6,144 equivalent steps of gradation
S10 : 5,120 equivalent steps of gradation

- Power Consumption ->
G10 : (Normal Use) 445 W
S10 : (Normal Use) 350 W

The G10 seems to have more advantage over S10, but I'm not interested with all of these spec.

From some of the review, S10 seems not handling 1080i signal very well.

Just wonder are there many HDTV broadcast are 1080i?

Other than this, S10 should be very close to G10 PQ without the THX mode.

What's with the higher power consumption on the G10?
NeoPDP panel was suppose to consume less electricity.

It is stated on the Panasonic Malaysia website, dunno whether it is a spec mistake from Panasonic.

i mind the bad motion flow like LCD tv (core panel weakness) than the reflection problem from the surface on plasma tv (cosmetic weakness).

Honestly, the reflection in the S10 is much better than the X10. Its negligible and a non-issue if viewing in darker environments. You can't win them all lah.

Panny G series is a good model at very good price but people seem dont appreciate this series very much.

Despite going around regularly to HN and BD, I have yet to see any G series up close and personal

I can tolerate the reflection, because I have use CRT for many years.

The S10 and G10 is less reflection than CRT, so is ok for me.

I care more on the Viewing Angle, Motion Flow, and overall picture quality.

Yeah, I agree. This is cannibalism at its worse, right? If the S10 is not so strategically priced, the G10 will be a bargain, considering last year's 42" FullHD officially retails at RM7,999.

Then again, you have the luxury to try out this model first hand, any significance difference to the S10 your eyes can see, besides those numbers on the spec sheet?

Is there anyone knows that Panasonic has a 50G10K ?? Because if it's priced around 6k then it is better than the 50S10K which is priced at RM53xx ??

How far do you people sit from your TV? At 42", I believe you've to sit at least 10 feet from it!

Nahhh 6-7 ft can liao

If you watch SD, 10" feet above is good, but for HD the optimum distance is 5-6 feet

Bad news, S10 discontinued. No replacement model, they only recommend G10. Confirmed by Panasonic customer support.

G10 made in Japan and S10 made in Singapore.......

that;s the bad news lor! how to get for fullHD 42inch panny plasma for 3k now? haha! (G series not so cheap rite?)

No way Panny is going to just "discontinue" their bread and butter X and S series plasma. More likely a replacement model will be out soon (X replaced by C series IIANM). Remember CES is just next week.

3D TV??
