I've owned the G15 for a few weeks. Was VERY excited to get it but now that it's actually on the wall? Eh. Other reviewers rave about the colors but I just don't see it. I think the THX setting is too dark for average viewing (great for Batman Returns and other 'dark' movies but not great for general HD television viewing). I compare this to my friend's Samsung LN52a750 and I think their set is clearly superior. Their blacks match up to the G15's blacks but their screen is brighter and their colors are truer than mine. I have a week and half to decide to return it and I just might. I write this review because all the research pointed to the G15 being a monster set for the price and I guess it comes down to plasma and LCD being VERY different viewing experiences. I was coming from a Sony Wega (tubed) set (gorgeous pic but only a 34" screen and the set is huge in the room) and didn't go by store displays because they are all on vivid. I went by research. Everything pointed to plasma being a superior picture but I don't see it. I wish I did. I tried out of the box settings, I tried CNET calibration settings - none 'wow' me. Point being: check out sets of all your friends, relatives and neighbors to see what you like best. Get more detail about Panasonic TC P50G15 - 49.9" plasma TV - widescreen - 1080p (FullHD) - HDTV.
