I bought a Panasonic 50gt50 and so far love it. I am a plasma newbie so I don't know much with them. Any suggestions on what to do in the first 100hrs so I properly set the tv up. Also when should I calibrate it? What should i use? Any websites? Also any do's and donts would be great. Thank for the help.

So watching Netflix through the tv app notices my pic choices become limited. Also I seem to have an annoying flicker going on every min or so. Any help

TV shouldn't be flickering. Can you explain a little more?

It's only flickering during Netflix playback?

That is a known Viera Netflix issue. The tv flickers when changing resolution.
