Hey everyone,
This is my first post, and am admittedly a Plasma noob.
First off, I'm the proud owner of a new ('bout 70hrs old) Panasonic TH-50PZ800u.
I've been agonizing over the thought of Burn-in/IR and have been taking every measure to prevent it. I've done nothing but watch full screen HD content, and hope to be nice and broken in by the end of the week.
Now, i hate over scan. I'm coming from using a projector as a TV for the last 3 years - I'm not used to a frame/bezel around my image.
Having the image on my Pany set to HD size 2 (1:1, non over-scanned) is certainly where i want to be. But, in doing so, i've effectively put a quarter inch of black around the edge of my image. Is that quarter inch equal, in damage potential, to the vertical bars you see on a non stretched 4:3 image? is there the potential for Burn-in by using HD Size 2? Or rather, is not over-scanning your image, advisable? For now I'm leaving it cropped at HD Size 1 for the break in period but, come next week I'm going to be looking to change that setting to HD size 2.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
