- I played with the Trinitone adjustment on my friends 4 year old XBR, and
- I couldn't see any difference.

- The Panasonic GAOOs with the superflat screens have a color temperature
- adjustment that adjusts between 'Cool', 'Normal' and 'Warm'. I can see
- only a very slight difference in the whites.
