[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 47880, member: 517"] Yea, with phosphor based displays it's good to run it in a bit. Like you say, these days burn in isn't really the big issue, although it will improve image retention. The major issue though is calibration. You should always run in the set first before attempting to calibrate. As you mentioned, 100 hours is the recommended break-in period (at around 50% contrast and brightness). It's recommended to use full screen material without one of those little logos in the corner (e.g. leave a DVD on repeat). Otherwise there are burn in files available on the net with alternating primary and secondary colours which help to accelerate burn-in: http://www.webapalooza.com/plasma/ [/QUOTE]
