The G15, although a nice picture, is an ugly dated plastic looking frame. It’s about 3.5″ thick while the v10 has a very minimal looking frame with a 2″ depth. I’m ready to buy the v10 based on looks alone.

I’m trying to decide between the G15 or the V10. Does the G15 share the “one sheet of glass” design?

I saw the G10 at Best Buy. The picture looks very good but the bezel around the screen looks very dated and cheap – softer looking plastic. It does not look as good as the other LCD and Plasma sets at the store. I know this is just cosmetics, but that is important too. I hope the V10 looks better. I also wonder about the sound in these thin sets, V series @ 2″ and Z series at 1″. I have heard complaints on the quality of sound in the G series. I was not able to listen to this in the store. And yes, I know you can/should run movies and such through a “real” sound system, but for watching TV channels, I don’t desire to do this for energy and convenience reasons.

I am purchasing a 54″ V10 (TC-P54V10) through Best Buy. The rep I am working with says it will be in June 16th. Can’t wait.

It is may – why is the v10 not available?

I can’t wait to see the V10’s in the store, based on the pics, the looks are stunning and you can easily tell its not the cheap plasma out there…

They said shipments starting MAY, but i cannot find it in the store yet…

Well, my post accuracy is about 0 and 3 I just spoke with a Sales Rep. at Panasonic.

He said the thinner G15 WILL BE released in the USA. He wasn’t sure why it is not on the North America section of the website or why shipments to the stores seem to be lagging compared to the G10s.

This site should answer a lot of questions:
http://panasonic.net/avc/viera/index.html

It details the (slightly different) model line-ups for North America and Europe.

According to this for North America … we don’t get the G15 Series (only the G10). The V-Series is made up of the TC-P50V10 and TC-P54V10 (only), but they both look similar with the “one-sheet-of-glass” design.

I found the TC-P50V10 dimensions on Vanns … Dimensions: 48.9″ W x 30.5 H x 3.3″ / 2.2″ D exclusive of protruding portion without stand, 48.9″ W x 32.2 H x 15.8″ D with stand … so, actually an inch wider than a TC-P50G10.

John,

Sorry, but I think my previous post is incorrect. I just saw the 2009 Viera Brochure, and it says that only the TC-P50V10 (50-inch model) will have the “2 inch thick design and One-Sheet-of-Glass”. I guess we will just have to wait until the samples are released. Maybe HDGuru will have more details soon.
