Did you ever figure out what to fix on the tv.. to clear up the darkness?

Same issue stated above, I opened it.. i dusted it ... cleaned the lens... lined up crosshairs and convergence.. tried every setting, but it just doesn't help with dark scenes.. they are very dark... Dark Night, was painful to watch, and Serenity too.

- If it is suppose to look like this http://www.parts-link.com/modules/Wanted/uploads/220709-1.jpg I don't see one at all in there

- So I called panasonic up today, and they confirmed my model doesn't have a g2 / focus splitter, they had me return it to factory settings... and well it still dark, so they had me call a service place, and they said need $90 to come visit and problably need to adjust the grayscale for another $90... can anyone out there save me $200 and educate me on this... Panasonic said all color controls on my model are done via the tv.. I have 1 screen where I have 9 + to align both red and blue too and also one screen for green convergence and red and blue line ups. THanks..

do you know what a g2/focus splitter looks like?
if so and you can get to it, adjust the g2 controls ever so slightly.

- it is usually behind the front speaker/support cover.about 8" x 6" with about wires going in and out. it has 6 adjusting screw slots. 2 for each tube

- the screen before you get to the convergence should have controls picture, brightness,hue or tint & contrast. A new thought ; does your have a color temp adjust, if so select the cool setting.
