Official 2011 Panasonic Settings/Issues Thread - Page 33

almost at 24 hours straight.... close to it man I dont know if I can wait another 76 lol

Do settings for the ST30 change for 3d viewing? And does someone have the link to what they would be. The screen has been awesome and the 3d already is spectacular, but I haven't read anything about 3d calibration.

Yes, when you switch to 3D, the settings for each pre-set are different, so you have to change them when you are in 3D mode.

i have a vt30 and when i try to change setting on 3:2 drop down its greyed out and i cant change it. Any thought?

The 3/2 setting is only applicable to and thus
only available for interlaced sources ie 1080i and
480i.

76 hours at 730.......getting closer.....

I'm still toying around with mine to get a favorable "3D Picture" but I use Dave_O's settings for normal. I did make a few changes to compensate for the 3D Glasses tint....

Brightness....65-70
Color Temp....Normal or Cool 1
Black Extension....+1
Gamma Adj....1.8

maybe i am slow lol

Which settings do I want to use after the break in for my 65VT30... there are MJ or non mj or non eeprom,....

build date is jan 2012....

Post #7 in this thread!

Thanks bro... printed off cant wait to hook it all up finally tonight/tomorrow

Been thinking about trying these out. Don't know anything about TVs in general.

I've got a Pana VT30 50" but I live in Europe, Sweden. So I'd like to ask which one of the many options I should try. Cheeeeeers

Where do i find picture mode:custom
on gt30

Hit the 'menu' button then hit 'ok'. Now you can adjust the tv's picture. It defaults to standard at that point hit 'right' on the joypad until you see custom.

I don't have Custom I have Dynamic Normal Cinema THX Gane Photo Professional 1 Professional 2

Hi there - DNICE, I used your formula and breakin suggestions for my Pioneer Elite 4 years ago and love the TV and it has been amazing. Now have a bigger room and have bought the Panasonic VT3065 and want to also break it in. I am confused by post #1 as it says this process is NOT for breakin - where do I go for breakin for this wonderful tv - can't wait to get started?

I am sure the answers are in this thread but I can't figure it out.

Thank you.

Didn't know the Gt50 had pro isf modes-- thought that was reserved for the VT. Nice!

You have a 42GT30E. It is a euro tv so the settings in this thread won't apply. These settings are for North American tv's.

I wonder why Panasonic don't just simply consolidate firmware/features for all regions (i.e. ISF modes/96Hz mode). I would think that would simplify managing software from the factory instead of having a NA version and European versions.

Where can I find setting for European this is what I wronte in other thread

'm from Europe/Croatia I bought it here
Heres a picture of it with firmware version also somewhere on manual said it's GT30E

Also where can I change HD size?
And when I conected my pc to it via HDMI cable when i put it to game mode it kinda zoomed in my screen so taskbar was half visible idk why any ideas?
THX mode and everyelse mode is kinda too dark for my taste only dynamic mode look fine for me but i read that dynamic mode isn't good why ?
So does anyone know what would be the best setting for it as I said I bought it few days ago so kinda new to everything that has to do with it

I noticed the black and white slides in Evangelo's SD card files started at pure white (#FFFFFF in PhotoShop) but stopped at dark gray (#333333 in PS), short of pure black (#000000 in PS). I then noticed none of the red, green, or blue slides got particularly dark. For example, if you select green in Photoshop and check "only web colors", PS gives your five shades of green (00ff00, 00cc00, 009900, 006600 and 003300) but D-Nice had nothing darker than 009900. I assumed the two darker shades of green (00600 and 003300) were omitted by accident so I made a "corrected" set of slides with the full spectrum of all five shades of green, all five shades of blue, and all five shades of red.

Funny thing is, my Panasonic TC-P65ST30 says it cannot read the two darkest shades of green, red, and blue. It also cannot read the pure black slide. What's up with that? The files aren't corrupt because the SD card reads on multiple computers.

Are the darker shades outside the colorspace the TV is capable or rendering? I thought the point of a Plasma was it's colorspace vastly exceeds what an LCD can render. Yet my Plasma can't seem to render colors my LCD computer monitor has no trouble with.

Avforums.com is euro based, try that site. There's a couple pages in your picture settings. Try scrolling down below eco mode and look for "advanced" that's where we select HD size.

PC over VGA can be resized(but not HDMI) in the tv so using HDMI you may have to try to change the overscan settings in your PC's display settings. Look for the HTPC forum here.

THX mode will be fairly accurate in a dark to mid brightness room, maybe cinema too. They can give you a better gray-scale, like dark gray being gray and not have a pinkish tone, ect. The dynamic mode sounds like our vivid mode which is very inaccurate but bright. I wish I could help you better but the tv's are too different. There's a NA GT30 settings thread here that may have some settings you can try as a starting point.

just watached matrix revolutions and their was some serious brightness fluctuation during the meeting with merovingian.

Does anyone know if I make any changes in the service menu, will it void my warranty? I think I'm returning and would like to know if I have to replace all the service menu settings I made as per D-nice. Thanks

D-Nice settings had to do with custom settings not service menu settings. You can do whatever you want with custom, standard, vivid and THX settings. Does not affect warranty.

It does require a service mode adjustment on the GT's using D-Nice's settings.

@sancas: As long as you didn't screw up the tv you should be fine going into the SM just like a calibrator can. I think it's optional to restore the settings. You should be fine either way.

I just could not get my 55GT30 bright enough to match the brightness in the room where is sat. It was a spectacular picture at night but in the end, could not survive the amount of light during the day. We returned it to amazon and picked up a Sharp LED LC-60C6400U/LC60LE640U. Thanks for all your help!

Same problem here with my Panasonic... I found the solution was to buy an S and have enough money left over to buy something else TOO.

I have replaced the 90* adapter and tried a different cable.

All I have for sources is the TiVo and PS3, I connected these directly to the TV and also tried through my Onkyo 809 and still get the line

I have not determined how to repliacte the issue.

I have not tried different inputs, I will give that a shot. I hope that is not the issue because I wanted to be able to use the ARC from the TV I am connecting to Netfilx.

I also will try resetting the TV.

The line always is in the same spot on the TV.

I was able to get rid of the blob by doing some major changes to my settings in the yellow/green space...but when it was all said and done I felt it would skew the colors too much. I only saw it on the PS3 background and after calling Panasonic to complain (and get no where), I decided to live with it.

What I DID find out through my experimenting, is that if I changed the HDMI source mode to...crap I can't remember...something other than default Auto (Graphics maybe?)...the blob was less noticeable. Additionally, if I changed the mode from Custom to something like Cinema (maybe even Game, I don't remember) and did my modifications from there, the blob went away.
