Had TV for 2 days and noticed red, blue and green pixels fluttering around on dark greys. It does not occur across the entire screen, only particular shades. I can only see it up close, and not from normal distance. It occurs during any video source,...

I have had my TV for 1 month now and have not noticed any of this. I would ask a Panasonic expert, but I can tell you that this is the BEST Plasma on the plant today and the colors are much better than any LED TV you could have purchased.

I have watch movies, played games and surfed the web and have not experienced any color banding. I have had the monitor for months not and have not found any problems.

Try turning "Deep Color Output" in the video settings to "Off". Seems to be working for me...

the recorded video and the on-screen stream are affected by the degree of light exposure. Not only the brightness degree but also affect the colours.

No I have not seen that issue even up close. I have although done some messing around with the picture settings and by no means am I an expert. I would try some different settings or return it for a new one because of the price we have all had to pay for it. It could have even been damaged during shipping or not have set long enough before it was turned on the first time. I have the exact tv and the blacks are deep blacks and the whites are true as well as grey and all other colors. I let mine sit for eight hours after it was mounted on the tv stand before I turned it on for the first time.

The TV has 6 million subpixels consisting of red, blue and green colors. If you are very close to the TV you can see these. It is normal.

There is no way that I know. When I installed mine, my cables were not fully seated and I saw a similar color issue. It is possible that one of your component or HDMI cables is not completely connected to the box or the TV/Devices. Check that your cables are firm and in the correct ports. If they are, you may try testing with another cable. Once my cables were set, my picture was perfect and I have had no problems with the box.

I was extremely worried about this, but it really ended up being a non-issue. At a completely ridiculous distance from the TV (6 inches away -- think nose to the screen), you can make out the subpixel layout. At a distance of 3-5 feet, you can make out some additional jagginess on diagonal lines in some very specific circumstances (white text on a back background). At greater than five feet, the effect disappears entirely.

Bad. The colors are all majorly washed-out -- especially yellow. Pure yellow shows up as more of a canary color rather than a rich golden yellow like it should be. Furthermore, the pixel pitch is huge so it looks like you're looking at the image through a screen door. Avoid, the high refresh rate is not worth it, especially at its price.

I had the same issue. The problem was caused by color bleeds of Cleartype anti-aliasing of screen fonts, amplified by the monitor's higher saturation. I was able to reduce the issue by fine-tuning the hell out of Cleartype (to minimize blue/orange bleeds) and calibrating the monitor using color calibration device and software.

Yes, I believe that that should go away in a day or two ... I also you it on my iPad with the Retina display and ha be no evidence of pixelation... Hope this helped... Regards ... Vito

It's the bulb warming up 99% of the time. If it never goes away then check your HDMI cables by taking them out and reinserting them. Do this for all your electronic equipment because you never know which one it could be.If the blue/green tint never goes away after the above it's time to call mits.

Hi Marcel:Thanks, that information is really helpful. Can you comment on the accuracy and acceptability of the color when you use the WD TV media hub to show jpeg photos on an HDTV? I realize this can be quite subjective, but if you have used a WD TV to show jpegs on an HDTV, I would be interested in your comments.Thanks, Richard

You might want to try the following using the Screen Settings in the Settings Menu (pp29-30 of the manual): Wide Mode - Full Auto Wide - On 4:3 Default (grayed out) Display - Full Pixel Horizontal Center - 0 Vertical Center - +3 This seems to resolve the "over-scan" issues with 1080i. The downside, depending on your point of view, is that everything is displayed in its true aspect ratio (there are a variety of wide screen ratios used even on the same channel.) This could be a distraction, though I got use to it very quickly and don't think about any more. Anyway, give it a try. You can always change it back if you don't like the results.

Out of the box, the TV settings are "vivid". At the very least you'll want to set it to "standard" under picture settings/picture mode. This wont fix the black problem by itself, but then under advanced settings there are a couple of adjustments that will, namely "gamma" and "black corrector". Play with these a bit and you'll get better black detail. If you'd like a full listing of user calibration settings for viewing in a darkened room, here is a link that will give you those presets. Try them, and if you like it, you're done! Otherwise, play around a bit with the settings I mentioned to achieve the desired results. Here's the link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10060430-1.html?tag=mncol;txt I hope you find this helpful, I'm using these settings myself and am pretty happy with the results. Be warned, however, once you reveal black detail, you may notice unevenness in the black uniformity of the screen. Good Luck!

Hey Brian,Have you resolved this yet? After using the TV more what I realize is that it doesn't matter which mode, which source, etc, but I get the side lighting only on gray scenes or backgrounds. Some examples are like loading screens in games, certain gray scenes in movies. It isn't a huge deal because it is only in certain situations, but still feel like it shouldn't do this for a TV this expensive. Also, this isn't a side-lit TV, so it shouldn't show more lighting on the sides anyway.I've also noticed a lot of bleeding in menus in general, like the TV menu and PS3 menu. Have you seen the same?Let me know what you have found out since your last post. Hey Brian,Have you resolved this yet?
