It’s no where near accurate to the actual image that’s captured. Now that I know how to turn it off I should be fine. Plus I’m pretty old school, so even if it was accurate I would find it annoying.

Interesting because having owned a lot of Panasonic cameras I have always found it very close to my expectations. I won't say accurate because I can't see anyway how you can compare what you saw through the viewfinder when you took the picture with the finished picture.

It's easy to compare how the image looks before and after releasing the shutter by using the "auto review" functionality. Sometimes with some cameras there is a clear difference, sometimes not. And of course it will always look different on a computer screen or printed.
