Ok, well I got great news!

The 1313 firmware will reduce the FBr on the GT30 also!

It's not noticeable any more, only if you take a very very good look.

I'll will post a video soon to compare before and after the 1313 firmware update.

Got the new GT30 and it has exactly the same problems as the one I had before. But with a bit of luck there will be a firmware update available within 2 weeks. More info soon.

Within a couple of hours I get my second 46GT30. More info soon.

Update: Panasonic is going to replace my tv for a new one. The bad thing is that I need to wait an other month before that can deliver. So begin July I will test that tv again. Same shot, same game and let us hope that the problem is reduced.

What size is that tv? Also, how do you guys have these? I thought they weren't in stores til later this month. Get back to me.I'm going to get one anyway. I think yours is the only one i've seen or heard of this issue from. Thanks and Ihope it fixes itself for you. I would send it back and ask for another before getting rid of it if that's your only complaint.

@Black1349 It's a 46 inch from Germany (redcoon webshop). The problem is bigger that expacted. Seach for 'Fluctuating Brightness Panasonic' and you will find more of this issue. When I have more info from Panasonic I'll will post it here.

i recently bought a bargain s20a model which was last yr models and having the floating black problems too but its not as bad as in forums described i think i can live with it lol

newest firmware for US as of this post is 2.06, and it DOES NOT fix the fluctuating brightness or gama issues. So frustrating. Going to probably return for another brand.

New Firmware is coming next week. Check the highdefjunkies forum. It fixes the Fluctuating Brightness problem!

[Doatekken]

do you have it online (LAN)? maybe a fix is available. i heard the 30s series can update itself.

[BenGmanUk]

I thought a recent firmware update fixed this?

@JSKHFUSHFHI It's also on other games and movies. I recorded in halo because there you can clearly see it.
