G10 color issue, need professional calibration?

[PoorSignal]

Hi guys I bought a Panasonic 54" G10
and I notice the pink on the flesh tone is a bit strong and the lips look a hint purple sometimes, and the blood color looks off also. Will a professional calibration take care of this.. after I get more hours on the TV that is.. I am running a breakin DVD right now only 20 hours.

I browsed and found some settings but they were basic brightness and contrast levels, these not digging into settings that correct color push issues which I think require going into service menu and better leave to a pro, am I right?

Thanks.. I mean the set looks good but it's just seem a little off.

I would look through the G10 thread over at avsforum.com I found some settings over there including some dealing with the service menu that have made the TV much better. I will use them until I have the extra cash and the hours to get an ISF calibration done.

What is your 'Digital Cinema Color' set to? If it's on, turn it off. It pushes the red quite a bit...

I tried to join a couple of the threads but information and my questions are totally ignored because they move so fast. If you don't mind which thread's settings are you using..

How much does it take to get ISF calibration in your area?

I don't have this setting I think it is a V10 exclusive feature.

I did managed to get out of my dark theatre room and outside looking at people's faces and skin tone, I guess most people lip color does have a hint of purple in them.. and maybe I should be happy for now until I get more hours and have it calibrated. The THX mode in effect tone the color down a bit so it is an improvement.

I am still very happy about the set, the blacks levels are incredible. I was really missing out using an inferior display for the past years.
