how do you guys count the hours of usage? wala ako makitang timer e. manual count lang?
I kept a list,...
From the time I start to watch a movie or broadcast, I keep tabs on every hour,...
What I did para mapabilis ang pagbreak in ko, before I go to sleep, I select a channel na sure ako na 24 hours ang signal, naka zoom 2 or 3 para walang logo whatsoever, low contrast, low color, low brightness, i kept it under 40 lahat,... naka-aircon naman ang kwarto kaya ok lang, and besides I keep a small fan beside my system to keep everything a bit cool... It took me about 3 weeks bago ko naubos ang 105-110 hours,...
To be honest with you, preventive measure lang talaga ang break in,.. most (not all) of the latest plasma models are now equipped with the so-called pixel wobbler or pixel shifter (samsung) that prevents burn-ins, I read a couple of posts here in this thread na may mga users ng 50pv70 na hindi na nila ibinreak in ang mga unit nila, and up to now, it performs very well still. So, medyo nag-iingat lang din tayo, what is a couple of hundred hours of watching a dull colored movie, compare to a long time usage na wala tayong pagsisisihan in the end...
I love this unit, the picture quality is simply awesome...
If I'm gonna get another unit, I'd surely get another Panasonic Plasma...
Good luck and happy breaking in..!
