What settings should i use for a new Pana 50PZ80?

[Sandy 8oy]

Hi everyone,
Im getting my Pana 50PZ80 soon and was wondering what contrast, brightness levels etc i should use to run in the TV? And how long for? I will be mainly playing PS3 and watching HD Dvd's.
Many thanks

I've been looking settings as well.

I tried Setting mine to cinema with colour temp set to Warm and I thought it looked awful.... I'll have to have another tweak though I guess....

Does it matter what you "burn in" the plasma, this model happens to be mine also, with? I.e. does it matter if yiu just use SD, as at the time for the first couples of moths with this TV I had no HD source. Also, is my picture quality affected now because of this, as I knew nothing about "burning it in" or whatever before I was way past 200 hours or more use, so changed no settings in that time. Does that matter at all?

No it doesnt matter. You're passed 200 hours, just enjoy it.

Running in the plasma for 200 hours is more relevant to gamers and those who watch loads of cinemascope or 4:3 films with black bars. If you've watched 200 hrs of normal SD programs you have nothing to worry about.
