TH37PV500 Run in & Settings?

[dando]

Does anyone have a sort of list that has all the settings which should be used when I first get the plasma? What are the best settings to run it in? Any info would be grand!

Just put it in cinema mode and knock all setting below 50%. Keep it like that for at least 200 hours of viewing.

I have mine set on normal now, but with contrast still set to about 30%. Fell asleep with Sky Sports news on it too scared to look at it with just a black blackground. Did fall asleep with a DVD on one night, and the menu was left on a loop. Had, PLAY, OPTIONS and all the other stuff on screen. It did fade away after a day tho...thanks to the man upstairs.

Think i should of learned me lesson then.
Just hope nothings on the screen. Had Sky Sports news on me old Toshiba TV left on over night, the screen icons were burned and are still on the screen now.

Think i shouldnt watch SS News so much!

Thanks dude. Have i missed something cos everyone moaning about screen burn, didnt you purchase at least some kind of warranty? But warranty doesn't cover screen burn I hear you say! Well not exactly, it does cover accidental damage though................I think I see a way outta this..........dont you?

Update.

No Screen burn.

In the manual, it says that screen burn is not a fault. So i doubt it. I do have a dead pixel tho, but i think u need more than one to get it changed.
