Hello there....sorry to hear that you are having issues. I bought mine for my son. He told me that he is using the factory settings, default, and the picture looks great. try using the default settings, if that does not work you may want to return it. Hope this helps....good luck.

I have had my zt60 for a little of over a month and I honestly can not see anything wrong with this tv. I have looked at the grey on the top and bottom of the menu and have not seen anything. when I first received my tv and hooked it up, I ran some color slides that I got from my brother-in-law for 100 hours, and I did not see anything wrong with any of the pixels. We also installed some of the professional settings that we got off the internet and I am well pleased with this tv. I understand that you may have a Panasonic representative coming out to look at yours. Can you post the outcome and what they tell you.

I returned it. The second identical TV that I ordered at the same time does not have the problem so I hope that the replacement being shipped to me is also okay. Thanks for letting me know that someone else has the same issue. Herberto

Hi Nicole, its been a while since I looked into this but my recollection was this was basically the same unit. However, I must say I am totally disappointed in the unit. The sound isn't great, coming from 4 small plastic speakers. And worse, after a few months the screen on my tv went into shades of purple, and then within a few days went completely purple. When I switched source to the bluray player, the screen wasn't purple anymore...it went blue! The sound came through but couldn't see the picture. I disconnected the system and all went back to normal. Beware!

Go to CNET and look this tv up. People have posted calibration settings on there. My recommendation at this point would be to return this tv immediately! I have had the pn64e8000 for nearly two years now and it just died yesterday. I have found out recently that these tv's were shipped by Samsung with bad panels. I am not the only one this has happened to and some folks are trying to organize a class action lawsuit over this issue. I have had two Samsung tv's and they both let me down. Their customer service sucks and they will give you the runaround. I just ordered a Sharp aquos Lc70sq15u which is about the same price i paid for the pn64e8000 and is twice the tv.

It's awful without HD cable. I had this tv for a month before getting HD cable and it was not enjoyable. Don't get a 1080 tv if you plan to watch non HD programs.

I owned this monitor as well and finally sent it back because the image quality is absolutely terrible. You will not be able to get it right. This monitor has everything going for it and the image quality ruins it all.

Kevin, I am not answering your question but I am confirming that I have the same problem with Samsung I just purchased 3 days ago. It is a complete mirror in my family room. People say plasma or lcd/led has better picture quality, but if all you can see is the reflection of the room or trees and clouds in the sky reflecting from your window, then I would say that would be a very very poor quality picture. And shouldn't you be able to enjoy your TV and look outside your window at the same time? You shouldn't have to make your room like a cave to see your TV. We love our big windows and well-lit room. Never had this problem with our previous DLP. Sorry, just venting. I'm going in the store today to look at the Mitsubishi DLP's.

No issues here, been using for 7 months now. However, I noticed one day my HD was horrible quality, and it started freezing and jitters. I tried to troubleshoot it all around on the TV settings and no luck, then I did a reset on the HD cable box and it was fixed!

I have had no problems with picture quality. I would suggest rechecking all of the connections, but I am sure you did that already. Sorry; I am the original electronic idiot!

Not worth it. I got this tv to replace is cheaper 47" Sharp TV, and have to say I am disappointed in the picture quality. The picture is dim and washed out, I am wondering if the reviews here are for the right television. On scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best I'd rate my Samsung F5300 as a 5. Hopefully I can find some good calibration settings

@Dj M: It sounds like you either have dead or "hot" pixels. This means the pixel will by change colors or remain "black" or "white". While the TV may function normally, the damaged pixel will not function correctly ever. I would contact Amazon.com and get an exchange or refund on the unit as it arrived damaged (you have 30 days to get a full refund).

The best thing to do is to Buy one of those hd tuning dvds. I did that and it looked better than when i screwed with the settings. My tv looks great and I no longer mess with the settings.

Our picture quality is from edge to edge except when on 4.3 format. Sounds like you may have a defective tv. We have had our tv for 2 months and no issues. Hope this helps...

Thomas, I have the same issue. The settings taken from CNET look god awful. Movie mode looks particularly heinous. It places a sort of grey/green film over the colors and the picture. Dynamic seemed to be a better mode for me. Contrast 100/ Brightness 45ish/ Sharpness 0/Color 46/ Tint 50-50/Color tone Cool 1

I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it. Horrible picture.I purchased the 40A550 Samsung 1080p 60hz & was better but, the picture looked faded.I returned it & ordered the 40A650 through Amazon & what an incredible unit. The best picture of any TV that I have found. This is an amazing television. Absolutely has an amazing picture regardless of what you are watching. Amazon's "white glove" delivery is great, too. They make an appointment to deliver, un-box the unit & make sure there is no damage & the unit works before they leave.We are totally happy with the 40A650 Samsung. A huge difference between the 550 & 650 units due to going from 60hz to 120hz.Hope my experience helps. I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it.
