Eco/powersave Comes On While Viewing
I like the powersave feature but now it is malfunctioning so I have dissabled it. Screen intensity/bridghtness will drop after watching about 1.5-2 hrs. Is there a way to get this back and working properly?

I'm not sure this is a "Eco" setting problem unless the brightness follows the picture content. Such as at the end of a movie and the credits scroll up the screen, the back-lighting might reduce. this is a function to artificially increase the contrast ratio. If you press the [menu] button the back-lights will increase because the picture content has increased.
If you have a problem that is worse when it's warm then this could be a component on the power supply board, and a technician might be needed to confirm. Although Panasonic products don't usually have capacitor problems, it has been known. Take the back off and look for puffed up tops on the capacitors (see attached photo).
