We told you Panny had some crazy low black levels in its 2010 plasmas (http://hd.engadget.com/2010/01/11/panasonics-2010-plasma-line-has-much-better-black-levels/), didn't we? Well, say hello to the retail products and their first price tags, both predictably found in Japan. The Viera G2 series is arriving within a few short weeks -- February 5 to be precise -- and will be headed by the 50-inch TH-P50G2, which is joined by 46- and 42-inch options. All panels boast Full HD resolution, have three ports each for HDMI and Composite cables, and are expected to cost ¥320,000, ¥260,000, and ¥220,000, respectively. That roughly equates to $3,500 for the whopper and $2,400 for the smallest family members, which when you think about that mercurial five million to one contrast ratio sounds almost like a bargain (http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/panasonic-2009-viera-hdtvs-official-pricing-revealed/). Panasonic is also taking the wraps off some more affordable S2 panels (pictured after the break), but given their measly 200:1 contrast ratio we'll let you find out more about 'em in the links below.Continue reading Panasonic Viera G2 HDTVs boast 5,000,000:1 native contrast ratio (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/panasonic-viera-g2-hdtvs-boast-5-000-000-1-native-contrast-ratio/)
