That is the recommended temperature for viewing content in b&w ... I think the pink issue is common. But, it's mostly on low brightness with certain material. .... I just spoke with a calibrator who started looking for it as he's seen it on the last two Panasonics he checked. Again, it's on low brightness material and depends on the color of content.
Agrees with our experience.
Hmm: hadn't thought about changing any settings for B&W material. Thanks for posting: will give that a try.
Think we must be well over 350 hours on our 60" ST30, including two recent stints of Over 60 Hours Continuous Running.
Our new semester started Monday, so very busy this week, but thought I noticed a distinct difference in Stephen A Smith's face appearance while exercising this morning (first day have been late enough to see him for a while).
Did a fairly-quick-but-reasonable test against slides & sure enough the GREEN BLOB seems to have all-but-disappeared. Checked with ALL Picture Settings (Vivid, Standard, Cinema, Game, & Custom), AND checked Custom at all available Panel Brightness (?) Settings - Low, Mid, High. Primary BLOB, lower-screen just to R of center, is still visible, but greatly reduced in intensity, and doubt MOST PEOPLE would "see" the balance of the green without having it pointed out to them.
OTOH, the PINK TINT continues to expand in area - so much so that is not entirely clear whether the Green has truly Disappeared, or merely been supplanted by Pink.
At the same time, the Pink SEEMS to have also diminished in overall Intensity - almost as if the "amount" is remaining the same, while the Visibility is being reduced as it spreads over a larger area. Can still see it in certain scenes in "Ed Wood" - readily available on DVR as a reference - but NOT in Brighter scenes, such as the episode of "Burn Notice" that was thoroughly infused with PINK at initial viewing (& also kept on DVR for comparison / reference).
Still Just Over 2 weeks for "final decision" on this set. Will try the reduced setting for B&W and see what difference that makes.
FWIW, had a group over here last weekend, and was running Planet Earth (silently) in the background (enough people that we met & ate in basement), & received several "Wow - that is a fantastic picture!" comments.
FELT like saying, "Yeah, as long as you can ignore Green Blob & Pink Tint!", but Planet Earth (HD DVD) did not display either of those, so simply said "Thank-you...."
