Yeah I remembered the first week I used my Hitachi 50' Plasma. There was one instance where I brought up the TV's setup menu for like 30 seconds, and the setup menu image was still showing for like a minute, even after shutting off the menu. But it has never done it since. In fact I could leave the Food Network on for like an hour and still not see any image retention from their logo.

I really don't buy into all this break in period talk. I have never done any sort of break in period on my plasma, and I have owned it for almost a year now without any IR issues that whole time, except for that once instance in the beginning. My picture still looks as good as day one. To the OP... Just give it time as your TV is still brand new. It will go away.
