He's still got plenty of room to hang a drop down screen from the overhang above that set. We'll have him moved up to a front projection system before too much longer. Just drop the screen in front of the flat panel and fire up the projector.

Still hard to believe you're only on day two of looking at an HD screen. Its almost like your 12000 posts are somehow justified now...

The break-in dvd, or sd-card files are useful but not necessary. From my understanding all PDP phosphors age the quickest in the first 100-150 hours. By using the break-in images you can insure that this aging takes place evenly for all the phosphors in the panel. This gives you a meaningful baseline from which to calibrate from. If you calibrate prior to this aging of the phosphors, you may find that after a 120 hours or so you need to go back and recalibrate. If you go out on a limb, and believe some people, you can actually use each others adjustments if you have the same type of panel, and used the same break-in process. Some may argue against this, but I took this approach and dove into my service menu and made offset adjustment to my S1 based on the results of someone else’s ISF calibration report. You just have to know the offsets, not the hex values. I then verified the end results with a calibration DVD I have and found the results to be nearly spot on. I made a few minor tweaks in the user menu, and things appear to be perfect for me now. Reactions: billy p and Adam

The idea of even phosphor break-in helping the display is common is the ISF community Either way wait till at least 100hrs to run a calibration disc. Reactions: billy p and Adam

I thought that it was about preventing image retention (don't ask me why...probably because I'm a bit slow), but that makes a lot more sense to me.
