panasonic 54" S1 vs G10

[DonRSD]

what are the differences between these 2 sets?
i currently have an S1 and i notice the G10 has thx mode & 24p

my s1 has 24p but its not ;true 24p' whatever that means.

is 24p really that much of a difference?
i need some help as i have a couple of days left to upgrade (for some extra $$$ of course) from the store i bought my tv from

Just went through this as I was looking into both.

The G10 has THX mode and Viera cast. the S! does not. As far as I know that is the only difference.

I was considering the panny g10 until I saw the samsung 860 plasma model, changed my mind COMPLETELY.

G10
Progressive Scan Yes
24p Playback(2:3) Yes

S1
Progressive Scan Yes
24p Cinematic Playback No
24p Playback(2:3) Yes

so the s1 has NO 24p and the g10 does?

I think they both play 24P but have issues doing so. Both models handle it the exact same way. Neither of the models have "24p Cinematic Playback".

At 48hz, you may notice some flicker when watching 24P content. However, if you switch the refresh rate to 60hz, then the flicker won't be noticeable. All the 2009 Panasonics will have the flicker (that some people notice) until you get to the V series where the refresh rate is 96hz.

Features the G10 has that the S1 doesn't:
PC Input
x.v. Color
THX Mode
Viera Image Viewer (MPEG2/AVCHD)
Audio Input for PC
LAN Port
Analog Audio Output
Viera Cast

Here's a comparison of features between all the 2009 Panasonic Plasma models.

I bought the S-1 also, but when Best Buy was reducing prices and such , the G-10 ended up being the same price as the S-1 so i exchanged it for the G-10 , then it ended up being cheaper, so i ended up witht the G-10 for less than the S-1 . Now that being said to me I ended up with a better Tv and more features , even if I don't use them , the THX mode is great if you learn how to tweek it in , I love my TV for movie vieing, but for tv like satalite its okay , I dont watch much tv anyways , but down the road if I wanted to sell it or trade it , I actually have a model thats worth more, so bottom line , when I 1st got the S-1 I could'nt justify the $300.00 difference to upgrade it to the G-10 , but when the price went lower than thw S-1 , it worked out to have it for less... hope this helps... Its anawesome TV for Movies, the Blacks are so deep ,,I just wish I got the 54" or bigger, but the 50 " works good... hope this helps.. good luck .
