yes,even i wish to know it,And do you always watch all the programs in thx mode.If so switch to custom mode and reduce contrast,sharpness,brightness & color to an extent where you eyes does not strain...
Use it like that for a week and see for any changes.I think this should be the reason for I.R.i.e your present settings should have been somewhere closer to dynamic mode,so once you reduce the settings it should solve your problem.
In my case i did get mild I.R during cold start.Once warmed up i did not seen any ir.And i did not break my tv using colour slides ! Now its almost 8 months old and my tv works daily for 6 to 8 hours at a stretch.And i do not get any I.R.

My custom settings are

contrast 64
brightness 6
sharpness 8
colour 33

picture mode : vivid

colour temp : normal

My tv is panasonic 50 inches,V20series(2D model).

love,
kris.

From what I have read online, vivid is probably the worst setting to have it on. I would suggest setting it to custom or normal, your color setting looks about right, your contrast could be right, but ur brightness is way too low. Obviously each tv is different, but I'm surprised you can see anything out of the tv. My brightness is around 57 or 58, and let alone that's as low as it should. My contrast is about 81 or 82. Like I said though, every tv is different. Color temp is to your preference, but seems fine to me

The brightness is probably that low to combat the Vivid setting, lol.

Your TV settings are about the opposite of what they should be....

All the settings that i have given is under custom settings,In that there is a subdivision called picture quality : vivid on or off !
And to explain what iam saying i must take a video of my settings to clear your doubt.Since that tv is 2d v20 asian edition 50inches.And not the U.S model.And my menu and the selection tools are very different from yours.And there are no pixel orbitals etc...i.e No specific image retention cleaning tools given !

love,
kris.
