...I still get the ham, right? Good.
So I have a Samsung 8000 series plasma that I purchased December 2011, I ran a break-in DVD for the first 80 or so hours and have had pixel shift enabled while watching everything in full screen for the past 3-400 hours. Over Christmas, my dad came and stayed with me. He watched a lot of news over those 3 weeks, and now I can see the outline of the ticker box as well as the logo box. Nothing noticed within, and it doesn't distort anything within them, however when watching hockey the 2 giant darker boxes on the bottom of the screen are very much noticeable. Now, it seems to have gotten a BIT better over the past few weeks, thanks to running movies fullscreen overnight etc, though that could just be my mind playing tricks on me. Is this consistent with burn in or retention? I've read that some retention can take a month of 2 to get rid of, but have no first hand knowledge. Any ideas on how to expedite the process?
