Hey I recently purchased my first hdtv and since I'm usually somewhat of an elitist, I settled with a plasma. Tc-p46s30 to be exact. I am curious about the break-in part and settings in general.
I'm not too sure about the break-in dvds so I've just been watching full screen programming for a couple hours a day with conservative settings. I know that's one way to do it which will take me a good 3 months before I can start doing what I actually want with it - meh.
I'm especially concerned about the break-in because within the first few days I hooked my computer up to it just to watch a movie and within a few minutes I noticed a slight outline of a part of my background. It didn't last long and it was quite faint - but I plan to have my computer hooked up to it and possibly game.
I know there is a plethora of information on this sight but between work, school and daily activities, it's hard to find the time to search for it.
One part of my question I kind of already answered myself - but how many people suggest that I keep being conservative with my settings for the first few months?
My 2nd question is about the tv setting to use after I have it broken in. I don't know anything about calibration. What would be optimal settings once I have my set ready to go? Medium brightness and Higher contrast look good to me, but exact numbers would really help. I shouldn't have to change anything with the color at all right?
If anyone could just provide me with a link for the way to set up my tc-p46s30 that would be awesome.
If this thread is like many others and the same thing is posted many times then I am sorry. I'm just trying to be as productive as I can.
