You will be fine

We installed a 50" Panasonic plasma in the master bedroom last November. I immediately selected the Cinema mode, did a rough calibration (fine-tuned it after about three weeks), activated the Pixel Orbiter, then sat back and enjoyed.

No trace of even slight image retention despite heavy doses of news crawls plus static baseball and football info in the top-left corner of the screen. Also, plenty of black letterboxing and sidebars for 2:35:1 movies, 4:3 shows, and 4:3 TCM movies.

We like the superb picture so much (it is far better than any LED-driven LCD I auditioned) that we await delivery of a new Panasonic 65" plasma on Wednesday for our theater room. It will replace an eight-year-old high-performance 65" Hitachi rear-projection CRT.

We wanted to obtain the 65" Panasonic plasma before they are gone. It will serve as a terrific bridge to a future OLED television, assuming OLEDs live up to expectations.
