a timer so I can keep track of that 200 hours!

It doesn't have to be exact. I needed to know because they wouldn't calibrate before 200 hours, and it's a waste of money before that because the phosphors are changing so much (cal came with TV purchase). Just go by if you watch 2 hours a day, then 3 months, that sort of thing. In my case I just read the hour-meter on the TV, like any service person would/will do before service. Also in my case: the TV was very expensive and no longer available (Pio Kuro Elite) so I wanted to take extra care, and it's paid off so far.

"..because the phosphors are changing so much"
I dont think they change that much. Recalibrated our 50" about a year after we got it, and the settings were almost exactly the same as when we took it out of the box.
No timer, we paid absolutely no attention to our viewing habits, we just watched what we wanted when we wanted. There were no instructions in the manual regarding break in viewing habits IIRC. Having said that, I did make sure it turned off when I turned the cable box off. If we don't do that we get a bright blue screen and a heavily contrasted note on the screen stating "Press OK to watch TV" and then some U-Verse tips. I wouldn't want that on all night.
