Panasonic GT30 - Fluctuating Brightness Firmware Fix

[shm3ats]

Turn the c.a.t.s setting off and put 'game' mode on. That should fix it

I may be wrong. If you are using a pc with a nvidia card. Both the card and the tv is producing overscan. You need to turn one of them off. I have saw this selection in nvidia control panel. Try turning the card off and letting the tv do the overscan or vice verse. Hope that helps.

Hi , I'm thinking to buy this tv and using it also as computer monitor. do you think that this is a good idea ?

I'm finding more and more videos about this tv's problems .

do you think that buing this tv for gaming is a mistake ? are you using console or pc ? the problem you noticed was wile the tv is set on game mode ?

@demalvideo Mmm... It's risky. It still is a plasma screen and burn in is still a problem. I would not use this tv as a monitor.

@MrBartech - This problem does not affect every plasma, it depends on producers and models.

Its a problem which only appears when you play 8 hours a day without interruption. And even then it disappears after a while. I would agree its not recommendable to use plasma tv's as a monitor but there a no problems with consoles and games.

@dankwarth This has nothing to do with playing 8 hours straight on? This has nothing to do with games? It's a Panasonic problem! Problem appears also when watching movies.

Just uploaded 1313 to my G30Y. Brightness seemed perfectly stable, when I tested the TV with "Pan's Labyrinth" :-)

Do you know if this update is available for US models?

Good job! I think you were a part of getting it fixed, because your original video showed it so clearly and it got many hits. Surely Panasonic was aware of the video.
