Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Full-HD NeoPDP Model with freesat built-in, Superb Moving Picture Quality and Advanced Networking Capabilities. “freesat” is a digital satellite service that offers free HD (High-definition) TV programmes. With the G15 series, you can enjoy sharp pictures, vivid colours, multi-channel sound, and various services with the interactive contents.
600 Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1,080 lines of resolution. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data, then optimises the sub-field to display fast-action scenes in full-HD resolution. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects.
VIERA incorporate an improved panel production process and the new Real Black Drive system. A pre-discharge control system, the Real Black Drive system combines with NeoPDP technology to achieve next-generation black reproduction. When you're watching movies, VIERA renders images just the way the director intended, even in scenes where it's difficult to achieve a proper balance of light and dark.
Enjoy the Internet contents right on your TV. With VIERA CAST technology, you can enjoy online content such as videos, photos, weather and stock information through an easy-to-use Web interface that's built into the TV. No extra equipment required.
DLNA is a standard that makes digital electronics easier and more convenient to use on a home network. For example, DLNA makes it possible to watch motion and still images stored in your computer on a large-screen TV, or to watch content stored on a hard disc recorder in your living room or bedroom.
VIERA Link allows interconnected operation of various AV devices using only the VIERA remote control, by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable. What's more, the VIERA Image Viewer provides a new photo viewing experience. Simply insert an SD Memory Card into VIERA to display photos and full-HD videos on the large screen. You can also choose from among 3 types of background music and 4 display effects.

Where to start, well with the picture of course because to be honest that is the reason we buy the TV in the first place. So I am no expert on all the finer technical details but the picture in simple terms is amazing, crystal clear and really sharp. The colours are vibrant. Everyone always goes on about how black the black is, well all I can say on this is the black is black. If you do have a satellite Dish, watching the free to view HD channels is just amazing, and as a result convinced me that it is worth £10 a month for SKY HD. Can you really see the difference between standard and HD, oh yes. Another key feature with this set is the Neopdp, or in simple terms being able to see a well defined fast moving object rather than a blur or odd shape. So again from a simple perspective it really does work, watching football and F1 are just fantastic, however it was whilst watching James May showing how fast a scalextric car could go with the magnets that really showed how well this system works. If you did not see it, he had a car going around in a circle and just upped the speed until it came off. At no point did the car look blurred or oddly shaped.
Now about the sound, its good but not great. So I invested in a Panasonic cinema 5.1 system, in the sales, worth every penny. Now I have a great picture and a great sound. No it is better than that unbelievable sound and picture.
Should you by the G15 over the G10. Well for me it has three extra features and you can make your own mind up.
1. It has a SD card slot, so you can view your pictures directly from the card, no more messing about burning disks etc.
2. You can conect your PC directly to the TV. Not tried this yet so not surehow often I will use this
3. You can connect the TV to teh internet, as it needs an ehternet cable, and the TV is not near my router.
So to sum up, I spent 6 months deciding which HD TV to buy, and everything I read pointed to Panasonic. I have now had the TV for a month and I have to say everyone who said buy a Panasonic was correct. I will therefore add my own voice to that list. Buy the Panasonic TX-P42G15. Just one last thing I paid less than £800 and it is even cheaper now, so Amamzon, ouch come on guys you are usually leading the way.

This is a lovely piece of equipment. I have not explored all its features yet but those I have are most impressive. The picture quality is superb and even the sound is not too bad (although I bought the Blu-Ray Home Cinema at the same time so use this mainly).
What is so impressive is the well thought out set up procedures. The simple stuff is almost all automatic and yet there are lots of tweaks that are accessible if you care to look. The manuals are good, in complete contrast to those in a Panasonic DVD recorder I bought a few years ago and I hope to have everything set up nicely over the next few weeks. I will update this preliminary review then but for the moment, I am delighted and more to the point, so is my wife!

Plasma and LCD/LED HDTV have possibly been the most over-hyped and over-sold technology of the century. At best the performance is only on a par with a decent CRT set, and anything less (more than typical)is garbage.
Having said all that the Panasonic TX-P42G15B is about as good as you can buy at the price (and actually somewhat higher.)
The picture on full HD e.g BD and games is very impressive with pretty natural colours and little motion blur. It does look a little soft compared to some LCD/LED sets e.g the latest Samsungs but they are very much more expensive, and have significant input lag if you are a gamer. (This set has no input lag whatsover).
Do not believe the hype about motion blur being elimitated on this or any other set. It is minimal but there is still something simply unnatural and not quite fluid about movement (esp pans) on digital TVs at the current time. This plasma is however better than any LCD set I've seen.
I think that the network connectivity is worth the extra money over the G10 given the small premium at current prices. Viera cast is pretty limited at the moment, and its likly that content will improve over time.
I cannot comment on the various inbuilt tuners' abilities as I do not watch broadcast TV.
Recommended?. Yes with reservations :-
- The price has dropped significantly making the set better value. I would be less happy at its original/full price.
- Not much out there that is better esp at the current price.
- I dont think any digital TV technology delivers what it promises but this set does it better than most.
-
UPdate - Just a warning about many of the reviews for these TVs. There are very many 5* reviews by "reviewers" who have no other reviews to their name. Panasonic seems to suffer hugely from these "shill" reviews so just dont take all the glowing 5* at face value.

I bought this about a month ago. Set-up was a doddle. Sound very good - even without 5.1 cinema etc. One thing that is a bit strange is that the picture warps on some programmes. Read more
