All Panasonic TVs read NTFS formatted disks. Just that they are slow for the reason mentioned on my earlier post.

Strange. The manual says otherwise though. I talked to Panasonic customer care and the guy told me the maximum the USB slot could accept is 512MB. :lol:
I've solved the Soap Opera effect I was talking about. Under Picture Settings > Advanced Settings > Intelligent Frame Creation. Turn this setting to off and the images look more natural.
I'd keep them on for SD viewing though.
Maybe I misread the manual and a few other posts on the interweb. I'll reformat using NTFS and post an update.

When I was buying the TV, I checked out XT50, UT50, ST50 and GT50. Naturally I asked to demo the 3D of each. Each time the saleman connected his HDD to each Tv and demonstrated the 3D. The salesman's HDD size was 320 GB. It was definitely formatted in NTFS because it has movies of the size of 12GB +.

You should download the calibration DVD from here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/948496/avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration
You should calibrate for black levels and white levels and that will be more than sufficient. The DVD tells you how. Everyone's ambient light setting is different. If you use mine, it may not suit your needs.

i tried the calibration disk but not very comfortable doing it... Can you please share some good settings which can be used.

I will share my settings - actually I have mentioned them quite a few times on various threads. But note the fundamental differences:
- my TV is ST50 which has the neoPDP and infinite black pro filter
- it is slightly brighter as well as blacker than XT50
- it can reproduce 12K shades of color
- my room brightness settings may be much different than your own
Having said that, my settings are as follows:
For TV/DTH:
Mode: Normal
Brightness: -4
Contrast: 35
Sharpness: 1
Gamma: 2.2
For movies:
Mode: True Cinema
Brightness: -1
Contrast: 37
Sharpness: 0
All other settings are untouched from default.

thanks a lot. It seems to you still following low contrast n brightness that we normally follow during break in period. It case i wish to take it high n have the image lil brighter...what would be the best setting. I am currently using default normal for sd viewing n for movies true cinema. Default dynamic is to bright n cant stand it...

No. Your assumption that I am following "low brightness/contrast" as in initial break-in period is not correct. I have calibrated the TV to my liking. Calibrartion DVD is the best method as it will tell exactly which flashing bars should disappear or appear. If you are not comfortable using the DVD, you will have to experiment.
I am also using the same settings even after the break-in period. I just tried the settings without any calibration disc and still found great to my eyes. May be I need to try with calibration disc as well when I feel bored with watching the movies on my ST50. Right now, I am still enjoying the beauty
HI,
I am new to this forum and have seen excellent contributions.
I need help for pany XT 50 D. the problem is that i have connected my pany via LAN cable and can satisfactorily connect to internet via this cable. However i cannot access my PC via media server on the same network nor does my TV detect my android or Ipod for the purpose of viera remote. The pany technician tells me that i need a wifi dongle for this feature. can some one here tell me is whether the netgear dongle makes this TV DLNA compliant. the PANY manual doesnt say so.

You will need the Panasonic dongle. Any other dongle may not work becuase the proper drivers will be absent in the TV's firmware.

Hi,
I am having an issue powering on my XT50. Sometimes when I switch it on, TV does not power up. Initially it used to happen once a week...that time I thought it was a loose connection, so took out the cable, plugged it in again, pressed it real hard..tried everything - but to no avail.
However now this problem is happening more frequently. Almost 25-30% of the time it does not power up.
Any idea what can the issue be? if something is broken I can understand if it never powers up - but this on and off thing really surprises me.
TV has a three year warranty and I bought it last year. hopefully they will repair it for free. My worry is what happens when the repair guy turns up and the TV powers on every time?:sad: How do I prove to him this is not the case all the time?

When the first time this happened, i directly connected the TV to the main power point and not through the shared Belkin..but made no difference. Only remedy I have right now is that I switch off ..wait for 5 mins ..pray to god and swith on..it works sometimes:sad:

I am also facing the same issue with my Model XT50D. I called up Pana Customer care and after visiting they said its an IC problem on power board. It didn't took the guy more than a minute to identify the problem. Apparently my TV doesn't goes off like yours so frequently but the guy told me that someone will be coming to take out the board and will replace it with a new one. As per them it will take 2-3 days to replace it with new one. They were prompt for the replacement so much that they called me twice before coming to my place for taking out the board but i had to reschedule it due to my unavailability that time. I guess i am gonna call them today itself.

lodged a complaint today. Just to clarify, issue is not that the TV powers off suddenly. issue is that it does not power up at all. once it powers on it works just fine.
Lets hope they come and fix it fast!
