g10 vs v10 - Blu-ray Forum

calisoccer99 · 09-29-2009, 12:40 AM

is the v10 worth 300 bucks more?

Fishy · 09-29-2009, 12:45 AM

Yes it is. Get the V10. Try the search function, you'd find a few dozen threads like yours.

xneox · 09-29-2009, 01:29 AM

Is that all the price jump is now? Shit yeah...

Well worth it.

Drew664 · 09-29-2009, 01:31 AM

What's the difference between the two?

I was just in a Best Buy and the g10 on display looked pretty good for the price.

My_Two_Cents · 09-29-2009, 01:45 AM

Only $300? Hell yeah! The 96Hz 24p mode alone would be worth that.

yes it is,the V10 looks like it uses higher end components inside the tv for a little bit more black level's.

they did a test g10 vs v10 on a black screen and the V10 was noticeably darker as the G10 had a grayish look in a darken area

get your 300 dollars worth now!

One of the bigger differences is how the V10s handles 1080p/24Hz source Blu-ray movies. The G10 has a 48Hz processing to remove film flicker while the V10 has a 96Hz processing to eliminate film flicker, the latter will look better! That's just one difference!

I was looking at the 58" V10 @ Amazon a few nights ago, getting a feel for pricing on it ($2800 IIRC), probably going to see what happens on Black Friday and the holidays though before I buy.

MCT · 09-29-2009, 02:17 PM

the 58'' can be had for a shade over $2300 on 6ave.com, and you can get the 54'' for $1999 ($1899 if you have a Bing.com account, with the Cashback included) from us-appliances.com

both are reputable online retailers. I'm still deciding which one I want.

Ah, thanks! I've been out of the TV loop for a long time.

I'm doing the same thing. It's too close to the holidays to ignore a potentially huge price cut.

the 96hz/24p looks just right. movies do not flicker and there is just the right amount of the motion enhancement. its not over the top like they display it in the stores. I'm not a big fan of the auto motion, but if it's toned down and dialed in correctly and doesnt take away from the film look then it can be o.k.

[1080-p] · 09-29-2009, 05:08 PM

well v10 plasma has more features

I was researching TVs for months before I finally made my decision a week ago and bought the V10. Defintely go with the V10, it's an amazing TV, you wont be disappointed!

There is no motion enhancement in US-spec Panasonic plasmas. 96Hz is just a refresh rate used to display each frame (of 24) 4 times. No more.

i know, but can take on that motion enhancement look at times while not being over the top. the scene that sticks out in my mind because i just watched it was the incredible hulk (Ed Norton) when he wakes up next to the water fall in Guatemala. I guess i could explain it as the t.v cleaning up the image to it's full potential instead of motion enhancement.

jshannon · 09-30-2009, 03:53 PM

I got the 54"G10 for $1550. It looks great to me. I haven't seen it next to a
V10, but I'm happy with it, and it saved me about $450 if the V10 is $1999. If I had the money, I'd probably get the better TV, but you can buy a lot of blu-ray movies for $450.

Oh, gotchya. Yeah, it is pretty amazing for certain kinds of movies/shots.

The TV actually doesn't clean up the image at all. What it does is allow the viewer to see the movie the same way it was filmed. It doesn't alter the picture AT ALL.
