I have ET5 37 inch one. Just made an account to say that so far knock on wood absolutely no flashlighting, tested in dark with black.jpg, no white angles or anything,...I had to exchange the original tv i bought, Panny g30 for this one because it was overheating , it's display was burning 50 celzius, and I had to fight them to exchange it - lol, fudging bleeps!( at the end there were like, "we are still going to sell it because there is nothing wrong with it", lol, I hope someone needs heating and TV, all in one...
The difference in SD and even HD picture is huge and it goes in favor of plasma, of course, but, you can play with color balances and gamma to make this TV's picture better....Still, it will never be as natural as Panny plasma, sadly...As far as for banding, I can't notice it yet, i watched a bit of Eurosport too,,will add here if I find anything...
I really have waisted so much time just in effort for Panasonic people to recognize that 50 degrees in spring coming off the TV panel is an obvious fault in design, that I don't recommend anyone buying another plasma without testing it in the shop for half an hour, just for overheating...And, if this lcd TV is doing anything like bleeding and flashlighting too much, demand to exchange the thing for a set like mine...I blame all this on manufacturing in China, or where ever they put them together, really shameful...
Good luck!
