Getting New Panasonic ST30 Plasma TV


Hi, getting a new Panasonic 46 inch. What should I be aware of with a new plasma? As far as setup and play is concerned, are there any do's and dont's? Any of you have experience with one of the 2011 Panasonic plasma tv's? Thanks

dont need burn in disc....just use "anti image retention" feature a few minutes here and there...I have the 46 too..its no issue. Not sure why so many talk about tv logo issue because every 10 minutes stations go to comercial and logos gone. Dont buy burn in disc.....waste of money.
You will love your plasma - I agree with those saying dial down the brightness. I had mine professionally calibrated after the recommended burn-in period and that is exactly what the guy did. I took good notes so I can do it myself in the future. It makes a very big difference in the picture, and also makes it much easier on the eyes.
Chadnliz and Learsfool, thanks for the advice. Still learning. Curious, what's the typical fee for a prof calibration, if I go that route?
$300ish and if you get right diy disc or good eyes its a questionable
value.
My calibration I think cost somewhere in the $200 range, it was mostly for the guy's time, as it did take quite a while. I could now do it myself, but I would say that it was a very good value, as I would not have known how to go about it previously, and although it looked good before, the improvement afterwards was much more than I would have thought. I would highly recommend it.
