Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 13, 2010 5:00am PSTA fine recent post on the ever-wonderful BLDGBLOG discusses freeform movement through internal urban spaces both in reality and the movie Die Hard. If you've ever loved--or loathed--crawling through vents, blasting through walls and seeking alternate routes, you might find the perspective interesting. Do be warned that it'll probably make you think about Deus Ex, which invariably leads to playing Deus Ex again.

Don't click too far, mind, or you'll stumble upon nudity and violence that, while not gratuitous, are possibly best kept out of your workplace.

Having owned multiple LCD screens, and a 37 inch LCD TV.. I have to say that this (and probably all other) plasma's have vastly superior image quality.
The colors really "pop" and the black levels are so much better than I could have even imagined. Jesus. Right after setting it up ejectorpod, my sister, and my sister's deadbeat bf (search my post history) all watched Star Trek (2009) on blu-ray. It looked fucking amazing.
My only complaint is that I could see some image retention after watching the movie letter boxed. After I noticed it I ran a break-in DVD all night.
Anyway, wow. Just fantastic.

The guys on avsforum recommend doing a break-in period, but it's for the purposes of good calibration and not IR prevention. The break-in DVDs people use are designed to age all the pixels evenly during the break-in period. They just cycle various colors full screen. For mine I did a mix of the break-in images (ran a slideshow on the HTPC rather than burning a DVD) and sometimes I ran something like Cartoon Network all zoomed in to get rid of the channel logo. I ran mine on torch mode during the break-in for the most part. (vivid mode plus high contrast setting)
I don't think I ever see IR when the screen is off. When it's on with a black screen, it's slightly lit and that lets me see the brightness differences if there's any retained image. When I turn the set off it just goes solid black with no details.
