I wouldn't worry too much about burn in...but if it would make you feel any better try this out:

Plasma Break-In DVD

its free.

Pretty sure burn in is a thing of the past, as long as you do not leave it on for long periods on one image.

it never hurts to be safe though.

What do you consider a long period?

Set pixel orbiter on Force 1, I never seen IR yet on my set even when playing PS3 for hours.

Whats the diff between auto, force1-4?

Yeah i heard the same that it was a thing of the past.And i never heard of
some one with a plasma t.v. at home having a burn in issue,but heard stories of places like airports and bus terminals and such having issues,well they have it on 24/7 so i could see that being a problem.
My bud has one with his plasma loves it with no issues like that,he had it for almost a year now.You should have no worries.

Force 1 means the orbiter runs every 1 min.

That break-in DVD is a great idea - it's free, you can download it in .iso or VIDEO_TS format.

It's in 16:9 format, so make sure it plays in that format and leave your TV on no more than 50% for brightness and contrast. It plays for 24 hours, so just play it through 4 times and then your plasma is golden.

You can read about it more on the site that cracked linked and on AVS.

Congrats on buying the premiere display technology!

Thanks so far! now can someone explain what the white scroll bar does by running it across your screen?

I believe it helps remove IR (image retention) if you happen to get it.

HOME THEATRE ADDICT! · 07-25-2008, 06:41 PM

I went ahead and called panny support. as long as he wasnt cracked out, I think I got some answers

Im use to getting misinformation from samsung so thought it would be a adventure!

new plasma are good about not having burn in issue. the problem is more with older plasmas and cheap brands. almost never on Panasonic so dont worry

Thanks and I would never leave a image on the screen for a long period anyway, so I should be OK. It was just that Ive had LCD, DLP, but never had a plasma!
