Product Description
The VIERA G25 Series Plasma is the center of your entertainment universe. With VIERA Cast, enjoy what the web has to offer right on the big screen. Catch up with family and friends with Skype on your TV, catch your favorite movie with Netflix and listen to great music with Pandora - plus more! And the Infinite Black Panel featured on the G25 series blocks ambient light and produces deep blacks and bright, vivid images with minimal reflection. VIERA Cast's assorted online content just keeps getting better - in addition to the popular contents such as YouTube and Picasa Web Albums, it now offers Pandora Internet Radio, movies streamed from Netflix*, exciting sports from FOX Sports, tweeting web communications with Twitter, and even home video and audio conferencing with Skype. It also provides USB terminals for a keyboard and Wireless LAN Adaptor. No PC required. VIERA Cast's addition of Skype makes it possible for people around the world to connect and communicate through voice and video calls from the comfort of their own living room on VIERA's large screen. A new panel and improvements to the cell discharge area dramatically increase contrast when viewing in brightly lit locations. And reducing the electrical pre-discharge that causes graying has greatly enhanced black gradation. As a result, deep, rich blacks are displayed in virtually any viewing area, from living rooms to bedrooms. Even in dark film scenes, fine textures such as on clothing, are clearly reproduced. It's easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos and motion images right after you take them. Simply insert an SD Memory Card into your VIERA HDTV to display photos and full-HD videos on the large screen. You can also choose from among 5 types of background music and 5 display effects. It's much more fun when you can view them on a large screen HDTV with family and friends in 1920x1080-pixel high definition and a wide 16:9 aspect ratio. THX reprod
Amazon.com Product Description
Building on its award-winning 2009 Plasma line, Panasonic's 50-inch VIERA TC-P50G25 Plasma HDTV features a new panel with NeoPDP technologies that provide the best balance of black and white under brighter environments while also offering higher energy efficiency. The new NeoPDP Plasma panel also further reduces reflections and creates sharper pictures with higher contrast in brighter environments. This G25 series model provides 1080p resolution, full-time 1080 TV lines of moving picture resolution, and 600Hz Sub-field Drive for superb motion clarity.  This and other models in the G25 line offer Panasonic's improved VIERA Cast functionality, which enables you to stream Internet video and audio programming as well as turn this HDTV into a high-definition, wireless video conference center with Skype capabilities (when using the optional Panasonic communication camera and Wi-Fi adapter accessories). You can also play back JPEG images and AVCHD videos stored on SD memory cards and operate a variety of VIERA Link components--from Blu-ray Disc players to digital cameras--through a single remote. Adhering to Panasonic's commitment to the environment, this VIERA model--as well as all 2010 models--features improved power consumption and meets the new, more stringent Energy Star 4.0 requirements. And you'll get a long Plasma panel life of up to 100,000 hours--more than 30 years of viewing when watched 8 hours a day--before the brightness of the panel decreases to half. Key Features | 
Panasonic's VIERA G25 series Plasma HDTV with streaming content from VIERA Cast partners. |  | VIERA Cast: Enjoy a variety of streaming movies, TV shows, and music, photo slideshows, and home video conferencing with VIERA Cast's assortment of online content--including Amazon Video on Demand, Netflix, Pandora, Twitter, YouTube, and Picasa. VIERA Cast's addition of Skype (requires optional communication camera; model TY-CC10) enables you to connect and communicate through voice and video calls from the comfort of your own living room.  This VIERA HDTV includes two USB ports for connecting a keyboard or a Wi-FI LAN adapter (sold separately) as well as an Ethernet port for wired LAN connection. No PC required. |  | VIERA Image Viewer: View full-HD images with the integrated SD card slot, enabling you to view JPEG photos and AVCHD videos captured from your digital camera or camcorder on the big screen. Navigate your images via an easy-to-use thumbnail display, and choose from among five types of background music and five display effects. Plus, messages and memos can be added to photos from a PC to create detailed travelogues and original slideshows with messages. |  | VIERA Link: Allows the interlinked operation of various AV devices--from DVD and Blu-ray Disc players to home theater sound systems to digital cameras and camcorders--using only the VIERA remote control by simply connecting the devices to each other by an HDMI cable (see pop-up illustration). |  | Game Mode: With Game Mode, quicker image response increases the enjoyment of video games when a game console is connected to the TV. What's more, VIERA produces the dark images in video games more clearly. This mode works with the anti-image retention (wobbling) function, too.  | |  | NeoPDP: By redesigning the Plasma panel's cell structure and developing an innovative new filter, Panasonic has tripled the luminous efficiency (compared to 2007 models) of its VIERA Plasma HDTVS--resulting in stunningly beautiful images while also reducing power consumption. |  | 1080 Moving Picture Resolution: With 1080 lines of moving picture resolution and integrated NeoPDP technology's high-speed drive performance, the display time for each image frame is shortened to minimize afterimages, making decisive calls in football matches and delicate motions in figure skating performances appear crystal clear. |  | 600Hz Sub-field Drive: 600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1080 lines of resolution. For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology, which converts the motion in each scene into data. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects (see an illustration of 600Hz technology). |  | Infinite Black: The luminous efficiency of this NeoPDP Plasma panel has been improved by reducing the electrical pre-discharge that causes graying has greatly enhanced black gradation. The result is crisp blacks with no graying--even in living rooms with bright, afternoon lighting. And minimizing the electrical pre-discharge helps to both raise contrast and save energy.  |  | THX Certified Display: THX reproduces film images as the filmmakers intended them. To receive THX certification, TVs undergo stringent tests to determine, for example, whether the exact same brightness and color are displayed at all screen locations, and whether black levels satisfy standard criteria. | | Key Specifications - Series: G25

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room? 
| With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. - Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

 Great TV September 7, 2010
Jose Flores (Los Angeles CA)
I just purchased this TV last week from Amazon. I was very skeptical about the TV since I've read some negative reviews regarding the buzzing. Let me start by saying that I'm not happy with CEVA shipping that Amazon used, they called me to schedule a delivery time at 1 pm on Thursday, I had the day off so it was fine with me, I got up early and went to the pharmacy to buy some medicines around 8 am and had my cable box with me to go and exchange it for an HD box, I figured I should be back home at 10 am. At 9 am I was just leaving the pharmacy when I received a call from my mom telling me that the TV had just been delivered, she told me that two guys had brought in the TV, left it in living room and left. I was under the impression that they had to unbox it to check the screen wasn't damaged during shipping and plug it in to see if the TV worked, but that wasn't the case. They just left the box and left, of course I was worry that when I'd open the box, I would find something wrong with it. I arrived home at 10 am with my HD cable box, took the TV out of the box and luckily everything was fine, I plugged it in and it worked perfectly.
Now for my impressions, I'm still in the break-in period, so I have yet to see the full potential of the TV, but I'm impressed with the image quality so far. SD channels are average. I've read that panasonics are one of the worst to handle SD channels and it's true. HD channels look great though, I love the blacks of this TV, and THX mode is awesome. I own a 720p LCD Panasonic TC - 32LX70 TV which I bought about 2-3 years ago for around the same price I bought this TV and I see no difference in HD channels, in fact I think my LCD has a better Image quality, but then again I'm not using the g25 to its full potential yet, so that may change. I love viera cast, I spent the whole day yesterday watching youtube videos and listening to pandora and even watched 2 movies from netflix, I love it love it. As far as the buzz that people write about, I don't hear any buzz whatsoever. I was also skeptical about the glare, my living room is very bright, but this TV handles glare very good. One more complain I should mention is that I hate the speakers on this TV, the speakers on my 32 LCD are much better, I will be adding an entry level home theater system soon, possibly the Onkyo S3300.
I would recommend this TV in a heart beat.
Pros:
Price: I bought it from Amazon for $1033 with a free skype enable camera which I sold for $80 on Ebay * total for the TV= $950
Image Quality: I love it even with contrast down due to break in period.
Viera cast: I love watching youtube, listening to pandora and netflix
Handles glare great.
cons :
speakers
Image quality on SD channels

Nelda Bennett (Spring, TX, US)
Great TV. Been using it for a few months. Picture quality is awesome. We use a sound system with it so we really don't know about its sound. Works great with our system. Be sure to get the HDMI cable with it. It makes everything sound and look better.
Great quality at a great price. September 4, 2010

When ordering a television set, I first decided that I wanted a great picture before any other attribute. The next two factors were cost and size. I wanted to spend reasonable amount of money while not sacrificing image quality or size. I believe I hit a home run with this plasma. A like-size and quality LCD or LED display would cost much more and the general consensus amongst videophiles is that plasma actually offers a better and more natural picture. Plus, 50" is quite huge in my living room. This television will not disappoint. My entire family is impressed with the Netflix streaming through VIERA Cast. I cannot describe how happy I am with this purchase. It is a great deal with the Skype camera too. If you want a great plasma display then look no further than the G25 series from Panasonic.
one of the best HDTV out there, but i would say the only one best considering value for money September 2, 2010

I bought this TV from electronics expo under 1000$ incl. tax.
I did a lot of research going back and forth between LCD back-lit and edge-lit TVs and those with 120/240Hz refresh rates and thats when i happened to notice this TV and the reviews mentioning burn in protection and energy efficiency and picture quality of this plasma.
before buying one for me, i got a chance to go to best buy and get one of the 50" G20 series for my in-laws and got a chance to play with that in shop.
I had nothing else to worry about when i saw a good deal for the 50" G25 online after two weeks.
Is been only a week since i bought the TV, but my experience is very good about the picture quality since then.also I am not worried about the power consumption since i happened to see some of the you tube videos showing energy usage from full black to white levels on Panasonic plasma.
Netflix is there since the last software update to version 3.00 and is working like a charm.Regarding the youtube playback,i am not sure if it automatically selects the highest resolution video if multiple resolutions are available.I havn't tried playing media from USB or SD-card storage.Also i have read in some reviews/descriptions online that this TV is capable of recording content to USB storage device.I will update the review as and when i try that.
[...]
I had been seeing some reviews mentioning a buzz sound coming from the TV, and what i noticed is that i can hear that when the TV is running more bright screens,like if I set picture mode to 'vivid'.
I personally prefer cool display rather than a very bright one and for me the THX, movie, standard settings seems more appropriate for best viewing experience.Also i don't think the buzzing is a fault in hardware,since any high voltage AC device has the possibility of producing electrical buzzing or humming in the audible range.
I had been looking for and 'am yet to find a blu-ray player to go along with this tv, i saw some panasonic players a good pick, but i think i am paying for the same features that i have on this tv like viera cast.It would have been good if they had some latest model players with just the features one would need when using with this tv, or else .. ohh..yeh i can choose a PS3.. :)
Nice...but September 1, 2010

I got the T.V. last night, I had visions of a perfect picture on every channel and I realize this has more to do with the cable company than with the T.V. but it should be known that my 15 year old rear projection has a much better picture than this T.V. has. The HD channels are awesome on the new one along with a couple others, but the bottom line is if I would have known the quality of non HD channels was going to be so much worse than the rear projection T.V. I might have waited a little longer. I was under the impression the picture quality would be "at least" as good as the best rear projection picture. I only bought a new T.V. cause the old one died so I don't feel to bad about my purchase. I think I would have been much more disappointed with a LCD judging by the in store diplays which are all in HD. In my opinion I would not "upgrade" just to keep up with the times. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a nice T.V, I have yet to try a DVD or watch a football game, but might just be 2010 challenged or picky. Just my 2 cents.
