For the most part, we're generally unimpressed with the S10. The same way we were not blown away with the PY800 shortly after it was released (observations drawn after a 720p panel purchase).
My previous impression of the PY800:
I agree with Clondalkin, it seems the S10 is a stripped down 1080p plasma with very little innovations to offer. The S10 will be a good 1080p plasma purchase provided you're not coming from, or upgrading from a 2008/2007 model.
Based on my experience with Panasonic plasma models, I'll do a run-down from best to "wanting" in-terms of price to performance.
1 Panasonic G11
2 Panasonic C10
3 Panasonic PV80/PV70 - Yes, it's a close tie for me (you'd be very happy with either one)
4 Panasonic PY800
5 Panasonic S10
Just my personal take.
POST UPDATE: If I could backtrack my purchases, I'd surely go without the S10 and the PY800.
Sorry had to transfer my reply here from the previous thread because my follow-up would be OT in the S10 thread.
Anyway, am wondering if I made the right decision in buying the PV80 over the C10. Although they were priced similarly at the time I bought it, and I think I do need the AR of the PV80. Anyway, no regrets pa naman for me and have not yet called the guys at SnS to calibrate the TV for me. Di ko napansin at that time yung X10 because some forums have been saying that both C10 and X10 have no AR. Probably wrong.
In any case, if I go for a 50 inch model, would you think the 30k extra for the G10 is worth it over the C10?
