I had very similar settings with the Panasonic TH-58PZ800 (No U because I live in Canada) before I went into the SM. Here were my settings before I went into the SM for THX Mode.

As you can see the two Picture Modes are very different. For Custom mode, I use it for watching television via component cable from my Star Choice HD Satellite Receiver (upconverts all shows to 1080i). These settings, THX and Custom, should be a good place to start off with this tv set. ENJOY!!
