Not so much anymore and this will require me opening a hole in the wall to allow for the full depth of an HDMI plug so as to NOT hit the wall in a standard non-tilting wall mount. The side HDMI isn't ideal because then you can see the cable.

The amazing thing about calibrators is that if they are good, usually they are self taught along with the proper schooling. Going to the ISF shcool and paying a fee does not make a persona "true" calibrator. Be cafeful with your selection of calibrators guys. HD LUVA made a good choice![]()

The power cable appears to be like a standard PC power cable, except the head is turned 90 degrees. The head attaches to the cord also in a right angle fashion to allow the set to be wall mounted. The head also has attachment clips to keep it from detaching from the TV.
As an alternative to the longer PC cord,, have you thought about an extension cord to the existing TV cord?

I searched for a thread on this but how do you find a good calibrator? I am in Baton Rouge LA.

But everyone talks about ISF-day and ISF-night modes. How come I can't see those modes in the list above? Is it only the calibrator who will have access to "unlock" these "hidden" modes?

I think the day and night modes were on the Pioneers. On the Panasonics, maybe they use THX mode as the night mode and Custom mode as the day mode?![]()

The base template for the ISF modes is Cinema. Cinema is also the base template for THX.
BTW, I will be in the Chicago area 6/25-6/28. If any Panasonic owner wants their display calibrated, PM me.

I want to make sure about a specific detail.
I put the set to 96Hz refresh rate for the set to properly handle 1080p/24 material when watching Blu-Ray.
But the other option, the 3:2 pulldown control, I left to "auto".
In the CNET review, they say the TV only passes 1080i de-interlacing tests with 3:2 pulldown set to "On".
Does 3:2 pulldown have anything to do with the 96Hz refresh rate?
MEaning that if I put 3:2 pulldown to "On", does this NEGATIVELY affect the 96Hz refresh in any way ???

They did say "it's the best 2D TV we've ever tested" excluding the Kuro. That is pretty high praise. If anyone cares what theysay.
