Below you'll find the settings we found best for viewing the Panasonic TC-P46G10 in a completely dark room via the HDMI input with a 1080p, film-based source. Your settings may very depending on source, room conditions and personal preference. Check out the Picture settings and calibration FAQ for more information.

Note that we have provided two picture setting groups. The first, for THX mode, was used in our evaluation. However, since it's somewhat dark, we also adjusted the Custom mode to achieve a higher light output (40ftl). We prefer the look of THX overall, but you may find Custom better for slightly brighter, albeit still relatively dim, rooms.

Hey, I have a question about the G10 series
by Buckeyefan21x - 4/9/09 11:44 PM In reply to: Panasonic TC-P46G10 picture settings by katzmaier
I was looking to get the G10 series, the 42inch verison but I am little bit worried about the picture from your guys view plus what I seen at best buy. does the inaccurate secondary colors of cyan/magenta make that big of a difference. does the yellows/green tent you guys described really noticeable? the big thing I noticed at best buy which is holding me back is the picture quality of blueray on the panasonic plasmas. I noticed it looked a lot more grainier compared to the samsung 650 which was right beside it. now it wasn't the actual movies but more like AD commercials that shows off the t.v. Does the G10 have a grainier blue ray picture compared to LCds?

Best Buy Picture Settings
by radhini - 8/9/09 8:07 PM In reply to: Hey, I have a question about the G10 series by Buckeyefan21xBest Buy has their G10s set on "Vivid." Change it to STANDARD, CUSTOM, OR THX. Either do it yourself or just ask one of the sales people. You'll be surprised the difference that it makes. Just got my G10 and it is amazing.

Will these picture settings work for the TC-P50G10 as well?
yeah, they should be a good start

I mistakenly listed the S1 models under "related reviews," since corrected, but yeah, these should get you in the ballpark for the TC-P50G10 too.

Video NR Enabled?

How come you recommend keeping Video NR set to Weak? Artificially blurs the image, I find.
Sharpness
by cleaners84 - 5/23/09 6:19 PM In reply to: Panasonic TC-P46G10 picture settings by katzmaier
Why do you leave the sharpness setting at 75 in THX mode, but lower it to 0 for Custom? Shouldn't it be 0 for both picture modes?
Also, I understand why 3:2 pulldown would be grayed out in Custom mode because you're feeding it a 1080p signal, but why is it NOT grayed out in THX? Shouldn't 3:2 pulldown only be available when dealing with interlaced signals?
Thanks David!
Contrast at 85 for TC-P46G10
by gedalneil - 8/17/09 6:40 PM In reply to: Sharpness by cleaners84Contrast at 100 is way too high. Do not mean to doubt David K in any way. I think 85 is more on the mark, no? http://www.tweaktv.com/tweak-my-tv/calibration-guide/panasonic-tc-p46g10.html
Not getting blu-ray quality picture
by JP Turner - 8/24/09 5:03 PM In reply to: Panasonic TC-P46G10 picture settings by katzmaier
I got my Panasonic TC-P50G10 about a month ago. I have a ps3 for my blu-ray player but when I play a BD I get very good picture but not as good as when I go to a store and see there display models that are hooked up to a Blu-ray player. I have HDMI cables I have tried several new BD movies. It looks like i'm getting a 720p picture. The picture at the store almost looks weird because it is so clear...I'm not getting that picture. I do have all the settings on the ps3 set up properly 1080p viewing. Can anyone help?

TC-P54G10: bright flash THX to Std mode / dark streaks
by chinnu83 - 9/15/09 3:05 PM In reply to: Panasonic TC-P46G10 picture settings by katzmaier
while changing picture mode from THX to standard I can see a bright flash on my screen....i can see very light pink shades near bottom right and left corners....and also while running white bar scroll, I could see some light cloudy spots..seems like the coating is non-uniform on the display....or dead pixel?.not sure.....but while watching movie picture looks amazing though....tv has about 10 hrs on it.
kindly let me know if these are known issues with g10 model or something wrong with my g10 panel..
Not loving it
by EATMEEATME999 - 10/20/09 6:40 PM In reply to: TC-P54G10: bright flash THX to Std mode / dark streaks by chinnu83I've had my G15 for two weeks and I'm not in love. My friends have the Samsung LN52A750 and their picture seems WAY better. Colors are more vibrant. I've compared sports and a few movies (HD broadcast, not DVD which is at 480) and theirs looks better. I'm seriously thinking about returning it. I calibrated mine to the CNET specs, to the factory specs and then some tweaking on my own - not as good as the Samsung. We both have the same HD TV sorce (Cox Cable). The color difference with cyan does seem to be an issue.
