new plasma.. break in procedure?

[aramis109]

Here's my break-in procedure so far:

1. Calibrated my set using the Spears & Munsil disc.
2. Watched movies, cable TV (SD and HD), 4:3, 1.78:1, 2.35:1, whatever.

Seriously, people get so worked up about break-in, but Panasonic and Samsung have nothing in their manuals regarding it at this point. I think people are overly cautious. Both myself and my father-in-law just watch whatever and he's had his for 3-4 months or more and it looks great (except the colors are off- I need to talk him into letting me calibrate it a bit).

Overall, break-in has become more about hitting the plateau where colors won't change and then getting it professionally or manually calibrated. I recognize I may have to recalibrate later on, but I'm watching whatever I want and enjoying the set. The paranoia on this subject is actually driving away buyers unnecessarily.
