The 5010 is a great display & so is the G10. Thats a tough one for sure...You should prolly just stay with the G10. On the other hand if you really like opening TV's the get the 5010. Or Pony up $500 more & get a 5020.

I know I'm NO help...

Hello

When it' all said and done, the Panasonic is the safest bet.

Very difficult to qualify responsibly at this time though, as there are so many considerations.

However, I do think that in the long run, as information evolves, that the Pioneer would be a regretful purchase.

Thank You

Okay weak point but the G10s arent going anywhere right? The 5010s on the other hand are! You can always sell the 5010 to me [or for that matter anyone else when there are none left available in the market] next year if you dont like it

That is a VERY good point. Get the 5010.

TheZoof · 05-19-2009, 04:56 PM

I think the G10 is better than the 5010. Is it not the 5020 that is "on par" with the G10?

I have been looking at these displays as well and I thought that is the understanding.

I do love the Pioneer look though... so nice.

I like the Pioneer auto 72HZ refresh rate with 1080p/24 material and the deep blacks on the Pioneer. If you are happy with your Panasonic at 60Hz then you might want to just keep the display. Back in 2007 the Pioneer PDP-5010FD had a list price of $5,000 and that was the going price when it first came out. Around $1,500 is a bargain if that price is for a brand new one and not a refurbushed item.

what about panny v10

jibucha · 05-19-2009, 05:51 PM

Hello

As this remarkable product has been brought up; here we go!

Now this is interesting; actually, my expectations are so high for it over all other plasmas, especially including the Pioneer Elites, that I am buying ASAP, after researching plasma for about seven months now.

I am simply waiting for it to be available in the coming months.

Well, just some thoughts; as it was introduced to this thread.

It really does seem keep the Panasonic G10 would be the best option based on most available information.

Thank You

Hey guys , I want to thank everyones input, I knoe the pioneer is a pretty good deal, and It's a n OCD thing , thinking its a better Plasma, As alot of you pointed out to just keep the G-10, which I think I'm just going to do, Because it's a newer model , also never know whats coing down the road, I really want the pioneer because of all the good reviews from everyone says that they are so great, I dont think they are refurbished, they were brand new in the box, sealed, I wish I could but it also , but thats not going to happen, the wife thinks I'm insane, and wants to know when its going to stop, and will I ever just be happy , LOL as for the V-10 the price on thats alot more, I really wanted to stay under $1,500.00 and thats what I have done, Hey I'll wait and maybe they will cut the price even more, right? Thanks agina for all the help, I'd like to keep this post running to see any more ideas, I live in a small area so , and not alot of pepole running down to get a new TV, so I might have a little time still,, have a good one ,m jeff
