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.
Sounds good. What about contrast/brightness levels. IS that stuff supposed to be low during the first 100-200 hours? Someone else recommended this break in disc that just has different changing bars in black/gray. They said to play that over and over again or put on Planet Earth for 100 hours. Is it okay to run it 100 hours straight? Thanks for your guidance.
