Good point Blade. Make sure you don't have any tickers, scoreboareds, logos...basically any still images on the screen for at least the first 100 hours. Also if your TV has a setting or function to prevent burn-in, use it. On the Pioneer TV's it's called Orbiter but it may be called something else on Panasonics.

Great purchase btw. Let us know what you think once you get some viewing on it.

I have a 50" Panasonic Plasma. Of those models, the ones I see going for around $1,200 are usually the 720p models. My set is a 1080p Viera series. It does come with pixel shifting to help prevent screen burn, and I know mine was turned on already when I checked. Great set, though!
