Where was the problem at?

you should sell it to a semi blind person

[illicit0]

so.... what happened to the problem? was there a fix?

@illicit0 no the issue remains. however, i did some calibrating in the service menu that minimized the issue. but it still remains. i dont worry about it too much anymore. its barely noticeable at most times.

Panasonic didn't help out much. Their customer service is terrible.

I have the 54" model of the S1, and I also have banding issues.

I notice it the most when watching movie trailers. Those white letters with the green background. Well, the white letters emit this shadow horizontally which is very annoying.

what the hell is that?

[biskander7337]

did you ever get this resolved? is it a setting/calibration issue or a bad panel>?

[LuckiestManAlive]

I saw something similar to this on my TV as well (same model). It was very noticeable when I played COD5, at the weapon selection screen. Would this be a legit defect though? Or is it something that the retailers would just ignore? I bought mind from Futureshop with a huge warranty.

This is a legit defect. Another user on avsforum is having the same exact issue. Panasonic better resolve this asap.
