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 vary 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.
