G10 finally delivered!!!

[victimsofadown]

I'm excited.

But I was wondering about the "Viera Link" capabilities. It appears that it has to be a wired connection as I keep getting the error that there is no LAN cable plugged in, and I can't seem to find a wireless option.

This seems insane to me, as everything is wireless in most households that I know of... but I wanted to check here.

Sorry I didn't look in the manual, but I was supposed to be @ work 90 minutes ago!

The G10 can't go wireless, this would have been a great feature, but no wireless. As far as the viera capabilities, well you will see that you can watch youtube, rent and purchase movies and shows on amazon on demand, and a few other things, stock ticker and weather reports, but all in all it's pretty cool, ecspecially the amazon video on demand.... oh and congrats my G10 brother

on the topic of vieracast... i wonder if there is gonna be a wireless adapter of some sort? would be pretty cool

[battousai147]

I've heard mention of it but don't know, and yeah i agree, would be pretty cool.........

Not being wireless is easily one of the silliest things I think I've EVER heard...

What is the point?

I highly doubt that most users have the TV within reach of a CAT-5 cable from their internet source!

Didn't want to make a new thread. Just got my 50G10! Been watching national geographic zoomed in thx mode. It's definitely not dim like people say it is. I think i will use thx for everything. Colors look great and the brightness is not bad at all, I used to set my sammy A550 lcds backlight to 4 with energy saver on low, so I'm used to a none "torched" picture. Tv looks excellent thus far and all I've seen on it is zoomed 1080i content from satellite.

Here are some pictures off the set, running break-in images from the sd card currently.

Viera Link and Viera Cast are two different things.

Viera Link is a technology that lets you control all of your HDMI connected devices with the TV remote. Unfortunately there are compatibility issues when you connect multiple different manufacturers stuff.

For example I have the Panny G10, Onkyo 605, PS3, and a Scientific Atlanta Cable box.

Viera Link doesn't see any of them.

Viera Cast is the online feature, and yes you need to run a wire directly to the set.
