On "most" displays warm is the way to go, but it just depends... It's not a "be all kill all"

I thought you were referring to the age old "set temperature debate"

Phew.

And err...you mean colors? Hmm...custom?

I keep mine on Cinema Warm the entire time. It's the only way I think that it looks good.

warm gives the most accurate gamma on the panny 8 series. however i found that after the first few hundred hours and all had settled on my tv, i found warm a little too red for my liking and i currently use normal

warm for movies, cool for sports... luckily most tv's have multiple 'modes' you can tweak. cinema warm for movies. std cool/custom cool for sports. each calibrated separately.

Yes, I had this problem. That is why I hacked into the service menu and messed with the color settings myself.

that's pretty risky man, hope it all turned out 'ok'. I've been "scared straight" into doing that myself. So, overall, seems like everyone is mostly onboard for the 'warm' color setting.
