Got a new panny 65PF12 and now it's run in (c.100hrs, albeit not continuous), been trying to set the greyscale properly.

I've changed the following settings prior to testing output:
- picture mode - Cinema
- white balance - Warm
- gamma - 2.2

All other settings are default and power management and peak output are off.

Before I then adjust picture/contrast and brightness, output shows 30.7 fL, based on default 25 out of 30 picture/contrast setting. Whilst this is absolutely fine for a cinema setting, it just seems a little low, especially given the high contrast - is this normal? Maybe it is a common output for plasmas (I've never tested before and only just bought a colour meter). Panasonic are also new to me, so just wanting to double check I haven't missed anything.

Essentially want to set up a daytime/sports viewing setting too, but at an output of 30.7fL, changing the picture/contrast up from 25 to 30 will have very little effect, and could open up other issues, so am guessing would have to switch to Normal picture mode and/or lower gamma back 2.0

Any thoughts/comments welcome.
