Okay I just recieved this plasma hdtv today. This is my first plasma HDTV. So Im curious for the break in period what settings should I use for the TV? ALso after break in do I adjust the settings at all or leave them as they are? The main thing is I want this plasma to last awhile without getting early burnin. Thanks in advance.


BTW Theres a football and baseball game on tonight, is it okay if I watch it on the brand new plasma? Ive heard sports programs are more likely to cause burnin.

PM me your email and I'll send you the Philips Tip Sheet.

PMed you. Thanks.

Look for it tonight.....

Bump anyone have any settings for break in....

You'll get a bunch tonite with the Tips Sheet, wasn't home last night....key is just to have the Contrast and Brightness BELOW 50 for the first 100-200 hours.

Don't use any presets except Personal.

Okay cool. Ive been waiting for that tips sheet. Yeah I changed the contrast and brightness to under 50%, 40% to be exact.


Offtopic: Seems like theres not alot of Philips TV guys on here. Whats with that.

We too busy watching our Philips plasmas to come here & listen to their complaints:D

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm getting this particular model from Philips as a replacement for my old set that went bad.

I was wondering about the breakin and tips.

Thanks!
