@brent jibb: If you calibrated it, or you are using THX mode, no, I have no ideas.

@Rena Booker: During the first 100 hours you should perform break-in, but you can calibrate the TV from the start if you want. If you like the picture already, that’s great. However, you can search on Google for optimal calibration settings and try them. Maybe you will like it even more. The goal is to obtain a picture YOU personally like, which might differ from what an expert or any other person thinks.

@Rick Darrow:The anti-glare filter is a physical layer over the screen. It is always “on”. In other words, they treat the surface of the screen so that it becomes less reflective than it normally is. The 3D Y/C filter has nothing to do with anti-glare. Some LCD TV models have matte screens - as opposed to the shiny screens of other LCD TVs and of the plasma TVs - and handle reflections better. However, the G15 actually outperforms many non-matte/shiny LCD TVs and most plasma TVs out there (except the discontinued Pioneer models). What you have to understand is that, no matter how good a TV is at handling glare and reflections, it will not do wonders. If you happen to have direct sunlight falling on the screen, a light bulb that is at an angle which makes it reflect its light off the screen directly into your eyes, or even some shiny objects that reflect light, you will get reflections no matter what TV you have. Maybe you should consider installing some blinds if the problem is with sunlight or light dimmers if it’s from the light bulbs.

I bought the Panasonic G15 back in Oct 09, It has a good picture my problem is with their so called anti glare filter they say it has. Well if this TV has one and its on,it doesn’t work.at all. the reflection on this TV is horrible.. it reflects everything. I have it in a dark room. I wished Id bought a LCD now. It has a filter setting in the picture menu that says 3D Y/C filter. I don’t know if that will help or not. But it says off. And I cant turn it on. Ive read the manual word for word 3 times and it tells me nothing about how to turn it on. Any answers to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

@David Ware: Google “[model name] calibration settings” (without quotes, you replace [model name] with your actual model name) and maybe you get lucky. For example “Panasonic TH-42PZ85U calibration settings”. That being said, not all TVs have perfect colors so you might not be able to obtain perfectly natural colors.

I have a Panasonic 42” 1080p plasma - I don’t remember the model, but it was one of the newer ones last year from Best Buy. Just a mid-level model. My major problem is that sometimes the bright colors (white, yellow, etc) seem way too bright and very fake. When I try to lower the brightness, I lose a lot of detail. When I try to lessen the color, it fixes the problem somewhat, but the rest of the colors are very faded. I am using the Cinema mode. I would also like to know how to fix skin tones in Standard mode. Very often, when viewingin standard mode, it looks as if the people are wearing too much make-up and does not look real. Any suggestions?

@Lawrence Wilson: Yes, calibrate it right away. Also I recommend breaking it in (see Break-In Section at the bottom of Burn-In Guide) especially if you will be playing games on it.
