Panasonic's eagerly anticipated 2009/2010 V10 series 50-inch plasma HDTV (the TC-P50V10) is now available from Panasonic-authorized online dealers Amazon and OneCall.  OneCall has the 54-inch version as well (TC-P54V10) 

Here are the links to order the TC-P50V10 and TC-P54V10:

• Panasonic TC-P50V10 Plasma TV - OneCall.com - on sale for $1799.99 this weekend only!
• Panasonic TC-P50V10 50-inch VIERA 1080p Plasma HDTV: Amazon.com
• Panasonic TC-P54V10 (54-inch version) - OneCall.com

The V10's major enhancements over the G10 series include a newly enhanced 24p Cinematic Playback Mode which presents native 24 frame/second material at 96 Hz. This should eliminate judder on film-sourced material introduced by 3:2 encoding while preventing the flicker that was seen in last year's PZ800 and PZ850 series plasmas (which handled film material at 48 Hz).

Also available is a Digital Cinema Color mode that is designed to present more vivid and accurate colors from Digital Cinema sources. The new 50-inch V10 model also includes a swivel stand in place of the fixed tabletop stand included with other Panasonic plasmas.

Digital Cinema Color

VIERA HDTVs' wide color gamut covers 120% of the HDTV color standard. This approaches the level of colors in cinemas and produces images with extremely rich colors.

THX® Certified Display

THX reproduces movie images exactly as the movies creators intended them. In the early 1980s, Lucas film, established the THX Standard to stipulate the audio and video quality criteria for cinema environments.

Viera® meets the high standards set by the THX Certified Display Program.
