The main purpose of breaking in a plasma TV is to help prevent burn in and to evenly age your TV phosphors. Plasmas are more susceptible to IR or burn-in during their first 100 hrs of use. In order to prevent this from occurring, during you first 100 hrs of viewing, avoid watching programming that contains "black bars", whether they be from widescreen films (2.35:1) or from 4:3 television programming. Also, avoid any static images such as news tickers or network logos. Your best bet would be to watch films with the 1.78:1 aspect ratio or HDTV programming that fills your screen without static logos. Set your TV setting as best as you can with the calibration disc you bought. After about 100-200 hrs of viewing, you may need to adjust your settings again.
