Panasonic default Picture Normal calibration is not right at all. The light grey is whiter. I know this because I can't clearly see the selection in my Mi Box Android TV If it is light grey at white box. Also I always feel it somehow not correct where the total image had too bright, weird colour whiteout and less layer feel.

So I decide to re-calibration again the Picture setting. This time I am finally satisfied with it. Now the colour looks right and finally the light grey is light grey.

Below is my setting for standard and HDR for 43" EX600K. This setting may also work for 49" and 55" EX600K series but not the 65" because 65" is VA panel not IPS.

Viewing Mode - Custom
Backlight - 68 (HDR 75)
Contrast - 88 (HDR 95)
Brightness - 0
Colour - 50
Tint - 0
Sharpness - 50
Colour Temperature - Warm1
Vivid Colour - On
Adaptive Backlight Control - Min (Too dark in certain view if in Mid)
Ambient Sensor - Off
Intelligent Frame Creation - Min (a lot artifacts issue once reach Mid)
Clear Motion - Off
Advanced Setting - Contrast Control - Custom
Advanced Setting - Contrast Control Setting - Adaptive Gamma Control - 8
Advanced Setting - Contrast Control Setting - Black Expander - 10
Advanced Setting - Contrast Control Setting - Clear White Effect - 6
Advanced Setting - Colour Gamut - Auto
Advanced Setting - Gamma - 2.2

Before my calibration, in default normal the selection is hardly to see as too bright like white. Colour looks whiteout.


After my calibration, now selection is easier to see and colour look much appealing and correct.

For local market If not wrong only LG OLED series TV support Dolby Vision.

From Dolby site only LG and Vizio support Dolby Vision. The list is not update because latest LG C7 is also support Dolby Vision.

I believe every device support HDR will support HDR10 because it is the free one. The best? Nope, Dolby Vision is the best but it is costly and not wide use due to you need paid fees to Dolby.

I notice that also. I think it just a way it render. As long support HDR, I believe all can. This is just my assumption. Haha

All Netflix HDR is in Dolby Vision if your device support it. I know this because my LG G6 mobile support Dolby Vision in Netflix.

I believe this is also same for Apple TV Box.

After sometimes usage, last few days I decide to reset all the picture setting I set as I notice I actually make everything a bit too contrast and dark.

After reset everything to default for my EX600 TV, I find the default actually the best looking but just way too bright and I didn't know that it is absolutely easier to fix by just turning on the Ambient Sensor. With this turn on, it will auto adjust accordingly to environment light condition. Panasonic doing this part very well and it do out the output absolutely stunning.

Now I am using Normal for all SDR content and Dynamic for all HDR content. Both with ambient sensor on, color temperature to Warm 1 and also completely turn off the Adaptive Backlight Control and Intelligent Frame Creation.

Glade to know you like it as well. I am planning getting another bigger size unit for my home town coming soon.

Netflix volume is like 50% lower than any others from Digital Television, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and etc.

This is normal.

I only need turn volume up to 50 only. So it is fine for me. Others is in volume 25. Lucky not the max required for Panasonic but instead 50% of volume.


Yup it came with Amazon Prime Video.

Hi, Dynamic only work for HDR movie. Don't set at SDR movie as it will look awful.

So far my dynamic in HDR movie no issue.

By the way 65" model is VA panel instead of IPS. Not sure how it apply.

Nope.

Demo is never natural look because they want to bring out how striking HDR can.

Movies wise is different story.

Yup. So far I have try few 4K HDR Blu-ray title, Netflix 4K HDR title, Amazon Prime Video 4K HDR title and also Movies iTunes 4K HDR title.

Definitely look awesome and not fake.

Also I set Dynamic profile when playback HDR, change temperature to Warm 1 profile and also Ambient sensor on.

If you choose standard instead of cinema mode, would this have option to turn off th he approv adaptive sensor?

Give it a trial.

True Cinema not everyone prefer and it is too dim and yellowish to me if watch at normal light source.

True Cinema only looks nice when you watch at dark room which simulate the cinema environment but not for normal bright environment.

I watch at bright room, so my setting is standard but color from standard to warm. In this setting just nice for me, not too cool and not too warm as well.

By the way I am suprise you buy this Full HD TV now instead of jump to 4K HDR TV. Curious to know why?

Oh I see. Got any firmware update? Maybe it will solve the adaptive backlight issue.

Mine (other Panasonic model) is turn on and it run perfectly well and nice. Don't have keep changing issue.

Nope.
