I found no calibration feature. You can contact the manufacturer and they will answer your question further.

I purchased a calibration blu ray disc and it was very helpful. I even tweeked the advanced color settings slightly to get everything just right. The picture is not as "dramatic" as it was with factory settings, but it looks much more natural. The other option would be to pay a technician to calibrate it and I've heard that is very expensive. The disc cost $25. And looks like Amazon has it for about $19! Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics [Blu-ray]The only problem was that the settings don't carry over input to input so you have to write down all the settings and apply them to the TV or cable inputs.

I bought a LN52B750 after a great deal of research. Unfortunately, I cannot take anymore of the fake looking/soap opera/camcorder type picture with this tv, especially after adjusting to minimize blurring. Due to headache and visual strain, I even stopped watching this tv and I am sending it back for a plasma. Hope that helps.

Hi Randy Ihara,Please connect this receiver to your TV and perform the Auto Calibration. Select [Settings] - [Speaker Settings] from the home menu and select [Auto Calibration]. Follow the instructions on the TV screen. Thanks. >Joffrey

I usually "calibrate" a set by first setting it to "cinema" mode and tweaking from there. I happen to have set up one of these sets recently. I have noticed that this set starts up by having you choose between "showroom" and "home. "Home" is the first thing to select. Then I went into the menu, selected "cinema" mode and turned down the "color" setting some, because the colors were much too rich. Then I adjusted the brightness and contrast. I always compare several channels because the colors on any one channel are often inaccurate. I didn't touch the "tint (or hue)" setting at all. I also shut off all the noise reduction, because I have FIOS TV and noise isn't much of a problem. I hope this helps, and is a good starting point for you.

Below is a link that another guy on here provided. it has a review of the TV and at the bottom of the page some additional links to click on. http://www.soundandvision.com/content/panasonic-tc-l55wt60-3d-lcd-hdtv-settings and I had some flickering on the ticker tape, the text that that scrolls on the news, sometimes it would flicker, sometimes it was fine. someone suggested turning all the settings set to "auto" off. that seemed to help.

This information can be found at kimkommando.com. Calibrate your HDTV for a better picture(Page 2 of 3) Fortunately, you don't need to pay a professional to get better picture quality. With a little help, you can calibrate your HDTV yourself. Use a calibration DVD A calibration DVD is an inexpensive way to calibrate your set. These DVDs display test patterns to help you adjust your settings. Of course, you're relying on your eyesight. So, it is somewhat subjective. You can pick up a calibration DVD for about $30. Or, rent one from your local video store. However, you may already have a DVD that includes calibration tools. THX-certified DVDs released from 2000 contain the THX Optimizer. You may need to poke around the DVD menus to find the Optimizer. THX-certified DVDs include popular titles like Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo. Check other DVDs produced by LucasArts or Pixar. To get the most from the Optimizer, you need blue filter glasses. These will help you adjust the hue and color. You can buy a pair from THX for $2. The THX Optimizer will also help you set up your sound system correctly. DVD calibration tools aren't as effective as hiring a professional. But you can improve on your HDTV's default settings.

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.

Use "Movie" mode, although it is darker than the others it gives you the best results in a dark room and allows for the quickest adjustment to proper calibration. These are my settings for my PS3/Blu Ray player (my HD Cable is slightly brighter) Oh and I strongly recommend you SHUT OFF Auto Motion Plus, it causes a soap opera effect and creates the illusion the picture is moving faster than normal. Color Temp: Warm 2 Backlight:7-10 depending on your preference Brightness:47 Contrast:95 Color:45 Sharpness:5 Tint:G49/R51 White Balance Settings: Red Offset: 28 Green Offset: 25 Blue Offset: 16 Red Gain: 25 Green Gain: 25 Blue Gain: 21 I like these settings and I got them from a credible source. Ultimately it is up to the viewer, and everyone has different preferences. I would advise a lower backlight setting for a few reasons. It is set high at the factory so the TV looks better next to it's competitors in store, and second it consumes more power and will shorten your TV's life span (will burn out faster). Play around with these settings and find what works for you. Hope this helps.

If you look at the first review (from G. Lavery) for the TV on Amazon, a user posts cnet's suggested settings as well as their own preferred settings. I just ordered the TV and have been looking into the same thing. Good Luck!! http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Viera-TH-58PZ800U-58-Inch-Plasma/dp/B001DSYNB0/ref=pd_cp_etk_ce_av__0?pf_rd_p=413863501&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001EBEPXW&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1FAQ4JWD2M00FX3N57W0
