Plasma break-in?

When I just got the TV, I detected some very slight IR after viewing letterbox movies ( 2.35:1 aspect ratio ) or TV programs with channel logos ( which quickly go away after 10-15 mins of clearing it with a signal pattern ). Now, there is no IR at all even after 2-3 hrs of letterbox movie.

So yes, I think break-in does helps for my case.

So, your IR went away by using the break-in dvd? Also, how do you track how long you have run it if you take the disc out?
