Image retention is temporary; of course it's gonna go away after watching a full 16:9 video. I don't have an issue with it NEVER going away, it's not a burn-in problem; my issue is having IR in general.

But I guess that can't be helped if even you have IR.

I don't really consider IR that goes away after a few minutes to be a defect. It's just the nature of the technology. Your eyes actually have worse IR than any plasma.

I blame the eye puzzles on the back of the Apple Jacks cereal.

If you say it isn't a defect, then so be it, though I wish I wouldn't notice them. I bought a Plasma because people say it's the best type of TV out there; I don't wish to regret that purchase.

If nothing else, I didn't notice any serious motion blurs compared to my old LCD TV; it's slightly apparent in the ending credits of movies, but that's about it.

Plasma's do offer the best picture you can get on an HDTV and they do so at a substantially lower price than any comparable LCD costing many times as much will provide. So you have some IR that lasts for a few minutes. I will easily take that over LCD's poor viewing angles, lackluster black levels, poor color accuracy, and terrible motion/frame rate.

Playing Dark Souls really did a number on the screen. Because I had my character maintain her human form for a while, and the humanity number brights up on the top left, image number retains. I blame myself for playing it for so many hours.

I'm running the TV with a full-screen movie and using the scrolling option on the main menu, but the image retention is being a pain-in-the-ass to remove. I sure hope this goes away after a few days.
