No other reviews or professional calibrators (see AVSForum) have given a significant MLL advantage to the V10.  Maybe someone should bring that to HDGuru's attention so they can double check their findings.  Perhaps Panasonic themselves should look into this cause that goes way beyond accepted unit to unit variation and kind of craps all over any semblance of quality control.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Reallink]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2009 12:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's TC-P54V10 plasma crowned king, so sayeth the HD Guru ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</guid><description><![CDATA[I love the V10 to death, and for the $, it's a fantastic bargain. But, after watching it side-by-side with the the 111FD, it's still not there yet. Black levels on the 111FD are extremely inky and have much more depth than any other TV I've ever seen. Although still not there yet, the Panasonic V10 comes closest to matching the PQ of the best T.V. ever made. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[George]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2009 1:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's TC-P54V10 plasma crowned king, so sayeth the HD Guru ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well deserved praise, IMO. I also still give the edge to the Pioneer Elite Kuro plasmas from last year, but the Panny V10 models are darn close and their price point is very competitive. Dollar for dollar, I consider the V10 plasmas to be the best televisions out there at the moment.<br><br>On the black level issue - one thing to consider is the anti-reflective screen surface. The Pioneer Kuro had a more effective anti-reflective screen, which also retained better black level performance and shadow detail under brighter lighting.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2009 1:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's TC-P54V10 plasma crowned king, so sayeth the HD Guru ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</guid><description><![CDATA[Have you tested out this years Samsung 850 series plasma?<br><br>I saw it at my buddies' video store and it looked amazing when fully calibrated.

I also really appreciate that Samsung has delivered accurate colors for several years now with both their plasmas and their LCDs. The big down side for me with Samsung displays though is their apparent love of mirror-like, super glossy screen surfaces! I honestly find it confusing because I find the glossy screens completely unwatchable.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2009 6:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's TC-P54V10 plasma crowned king, so sayeth the HD Guru ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</guid><description><![CDATA[And I, for one, welcome our new Panasonic overlords]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aaron Smith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2009 9:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's TC-P54V10 plasma crowned king, so sayeth the HD Guru ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</guid><description><![CDATA[Please, I'll put the V10 and a Kuro up against my Dynex Plasma anyday.

He's bringing over a blu ray<br>and he's going into the THX and the end result will be that my machine performance will<br>probably go up as good a setting as possible. I've read a lot of information on the 54V10<br>and I asked my friend to google and read. His attitude was pay attention to your visual sight<br>of the image with your own eyes. My friend is a professional photographer and is very hands<br>on and can really help me get the best performance for the buck.<br>        I'd like to write tomorrow at this time ? He's coming by at noon.<br>        96 hz definetely<br> I was informed that Pioneer Corporation is going to stop plasma production soon so it was<br>very nice of the Pioneer Corporation to get involved with the Z1 as well as the 54V10.<br>    CNET gave it 8.3 out of 10. It should have been at least 9!!!!!!!!! Out of six reviews, one<br>wrote a tale of disaster with his Panasonic. He claimed Panasonic didn't explain the answer<br>to his questions. He gave the V10 1 * out of five. As more and more people acquire this machine I'm sure people will truly see. This is The New King of Plasma HDTV.<br>        I'm looking to blu ray movies and my satellite station movies in 1080I. So I'll have true high def through the blu ray and high definition on my HD channels. Let's hope that soon<br>all channels are high definition.Oasis, Discovery, Rush, Treasure are photographed so<br>well that when they truly present generally excellent image.<br>       Michael Norris 25-08-09]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael Norris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 25th 2009 10:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Panasonic's TC-P54V10 plasma crowned king, so sayeth the HD Guru ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/26/panasonics-tc-p54v10-plasma-crowned-king-so-sayeth-the-hd-guru/</guid><description><![CDATA[ Michael Norris<br> I wrote a thread on the internet last night. Since then my friend came over and fine tuned<br>my TC-P54V10. He put in a blu ray and used THX to fine tune the video. Now my blu ray movies that I rent or buy will be spectacular. He mentioned that there was a comparison between<br>Panasonic 54V10 and Samsung 8000 led backlit. The thread said they were both around the<br>same quality but the Samsung is 5,500.00 in Canada before taxes . I paid a lot<br>for the TC-P54V10 because I live in Canada and saved 2,500 dollars by buying the Panasonic<br>rather than the 8000 led Samsung.<br>      Maybe some day far in the future, Canadians will get the same deals as you get south of<br>the border in the U.S?????????????<br>    I'm very happy with my 54V10 and hope to watch it forever or until I an get an OLED<br>55 inch for 2,500.00. I might have to wait quite a while. LG has a 15 inch OLED out and<br>it's just a matter of time before they figure out how to make them and make them so they<br>last a long time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael Norris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 26th 2009 8:49PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
