How to ban the banner ads from Panasonic Smart TVs

American Airlines is one of a few advertisers that appear on Panasonic TVs' new banner ads.

When I reviewed the Panasonic TC-PVT50 series I was annoyed to see that the latest software update caused a banner ad to appear whenever I turned on the TV. The first thing I wondered was whether I could turn it off.

Happily, Panasonic built in a way to disable the advertising. It’s a simple, albeit buried, menu command. Here it is in a nutshell.

  • Hit the main Menu on the remote (not the “Internet” or “VieraCast” button) or the TV itself.
  • Navigate down to Setup, hit OK.
  • Navigate down down (or up) to the second screen until you land on Advanced Setup. Hit OK.
  • Hop down to VIERA CONNECT Banner and turn it Off using the left or right directional arrows.
  • Hit Menu to exit.
