There is a break in routine that is available, certainly not mandatory. It's listed in the "Official Panasonic 12G Settings/Issues Thread"...if you don't want to do this, no problem. If you are happy with the picture, just enjoy your display. I usually tell people to use the full screen mode for the first couple of weeks, but again, it's not necessary or required.

You bought a great TV....just relax and enjoy it.

About ten different people have already posted their settings in the G10 thread so just search that thread and you'll find them. That's what i did and i found the ten posts, then i copy/pasted them into a word document for later review. Use this search string in the G10 thread:

+contrast+brightness+color+tint

But there is no such thing as "optimal settings" since everybody will have a different viewing environment, different sources, different content, different eyesight, and different personal preferences. I tried about a half dozen people's settings that i thought might look good but none of them looked nearly as good as the ones i came up with on my own.

Break-In Image settings (via SD card or DVD) are in the first post of the 12G Settings/Issues thread. If you're just going to break it in by watching TV then simply reduce the Contrast setting to around +50 and avoid black bars and logos and tickers for a few hundred hours. Break-in really isn't necessary on the Panasonics though.
