Just ordered a 65" from Costco.
I watch zero network tv, just dvd's, blu ray and streaming from Netflix.
So lots of movies = lots of black bars on the top and bottom.
What's the deal with breaking these in when they're new so you don't get image burn-in from the bars?

At the minimum, use a calibration DVD or Blu-ray to set the screen controls to the right levels. You can get the Spears & Munsil High Definition Benchmark, Joe Kane's Digital Video Essentials or other similar discs to do the job.
After about a month, do it again. Then repeat about every 6 months.
There are some files that you can download (and burn to a disc or use in a file player) that will speed up the process of breaking in the screen. Just make sure you thoroughly understand the directions when using this method, as a settings mistake or a hiccup in the playback will leave you with the very problem that you're trying to avoid (eg, an unattended disc player locking up and leaving a high intensity static image on the screen).

My main concern is watching movies that don't fill the full screen.
I get the idea it's not good to do that until you have 100-200 hours on the set.
I watch a lot of movies and most of them don't fill the whole screen.

Find one that does fill the screen, and put it on repeat for a few days. I just ordered a 65" Panny ZT and that's probably what I'll do.
