Dude...you are killing me.

With as much as you are on this forum - you should know that you have to calibrate the TV once you get it in your place. But check out the owners thread over at AVS.

Image retention: Don't be stupid and it won't be a problem
Burn in: see above
Break in: 100 hours minimum. Again, check out AVS

I'm glad you finally solved your issue and went with a Panasonic

When I got my new plasma I downloaded the burn-in dvd off AVS forums and ran that for about 100 hours. I don't know if it made a difference but I haven't had any image retention or burn-in.

Congrats on the new TV!

My settings are here...

(I hope they are up to date).

I have rechecked the contrast and brightness recently with the DVE. I took the other settings from tweaktv.com

awesome thanks man! do you think these are safe to use while in the break in phase? have you noticed anything out of the ordinary happen while using them?

also my HD size option is greyed out, how do you activate that?
