I don't know if I should be posting in one of the stickies or making a new thread, so I'm sorry if I'm doing this wrong.
I got a new Panasonic P50ST50 about two weeks ago. I ran break-in slides for a few hours, definitely not the full 100, but I wanted to start watching real things. But I watched varied content and used break-in slides sometimes.
Now I am seeing some very persistent image retention. It came from watching baseball on mlb.tv. During commercials, it displays a screen
So after noticing the IR, I have been running break-in slides at 100 contrast while asleep and at work. I am up to about 50 hours now (not continuous, but in ~8 hour chunks). The IR has faded somewhat, but it is still noticeable. It is the most clear on a white or green background. I can't really see it anymore on red or blue.
It's been almost a week and I'm starting to worry that this might be permanent burn-in.
What should I do? I'm still within Amazon's 30 day return period.

But after watching a few games I could see pretty clear IR from the white "MLB.TV" logo and its border. I had the contrast at about 80 while this happened, which I realize is a bit high, but it made the picture look very nice.So after noticing the IR, I have been running break-in slides at 100 contrast while asleep and at work.
