Yes 200 hours for peace of mind but many on here have said its no longer an issue.

Aarrghh,Fuzzy lad, not only have I given useful info to a new poster, I'v only gone and beaten you to it. Looks like my nominations in the balance.

Off to start a thread on 'Best Tunes To Garden To' to redress the balance

set all picture setting to just under half way and run it for a few hours then power it off for 3-4 hours then switch back on and repeat process 5 times

also upgrade the mains cable try russ andrews power max t

Surely calibrated settings will vary as they reflect each individuals ambient lighting conditions in their own home. And not all models of the same TVs are identical??
