My only regret was not waiting - and getting it for half the price I
paid. But its not really a regret. I love the damn thing!

Dad wouldn't have a use for PinP unless he could watch one sky channel
in one window and another sky channel in the main picture, and I
presume that isnt possible.

He's going deaf too, so it sounds to me like the 60 is perfectly
adequate.

Thanks for your message. I've been reading on the AV forums about
"running the set in" for a couple of hundred hours. What's all this
about then?

Basically when you first use a plasma, older sets needed to be run in
by not having the brightness too high. I did do this with my set -
even though others have stated on these sets its not necessary. From
memory, I don't recall seeing anything mentioned in the user guide
about running in - which if it were necessary, you'd expect them to
show it. (I may be wrong about that - it was a year ago I bought it!)

When in doubt though, its best not to take chances - thats what I
thought. Its no real issue though. Just means not using the "dynamic"
setting for a few weeks.
