This is the calibration I carried on my Plasma according to D-Nice seetings explained in http://www.highdefjunkies.com
D-Nice's panel prep is step 1, and is used primarily to evenly age phosphors to such a degree that that the calibration settings you'll apply in step 2 will get the most consistent results.
****UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD THESE SETTINGS BE USED WITH ANY OTHER SOURCE MATERIAL BEYOND THE PANEL PREP USB/SD CARD FILES****
Recommended 100 Hour Panel Prep Settings for North American Panasonic TC-PxxST30/GT30/VT30 models (ONLY to be used with Evangelo2's USB/SD Card Files!!!!!!!!)
*****Note: This procedure is designed to prepare your display for the reference settings listed below by aging all pixels equally with the same content.
This procedure is NOT designed nor recommended to be used as Break-in, Image Retention and/or Burn-in prevention.*****
To begin, here is a spelled out guide for setup if you want to know exactly which buttons to press when doing the initial setup, credit to IanS @http://www.highdefjunkies.com:
i: Put the batteries in your remote, and hit the red 'power' button
This will take you through a couple of initial setup steps. Skipped everything you can, as you can revisit this in the menu after you have done the prep.
ii: Plug your USB stick, with the photos on it, into the side of the TV. If you used a Mac to put the photos on, see question 2.

This will show thumbnails of all the pictures on your USB stick
iv: Now, press 'MENU' on your remote
Choose 'Picture' -> go in and make all the settings from post #1 up to the 'Slideshow Settings'
This will apply the settings to the photos in your slideshow
When done press the 'RETURN' button on your remote
v: Now press the red rectangular button under the 'R' on your remote
vi: Set the 'Slideshow Settings' from post #1
