I am still open to the idea of break-in but would like to see more official links and sources.

I would generally agree. I understand the theory behind break in, but don't really think the supposed benefit of it is worth the extra hours one is putting on their screen. IR is just something that happens with most plasmas. I guess plasma owners just get used to it. My mother's plasma is over a year old now and they are both retired so I know that thing is on 12 hours a day whether they are watching it or not.... and I STILL see IR on it when I switch channels and what not. They claim they can not see it at all.
