  Nothing's going to settle, except maybe your stomach if you had to transport it by boat to your house. It should, however, be transported in the upright position -- not flat.

    I installed several plasmas and I distinctly remember the instruction sheet of one set saying that. Of course, by the time I had installed the wall mount bracket the 1/2 hour had more than expired.

      Unlikely one would get everything unpacked and hooked up in less than 30 minutes anyway (for a regular TV no less) from the moment it gets in the door. Never mind mounting a wall bracket.

    It's hot in the truck and cool in your house - best to wait until temperature of the unit reaches room temperature.

    Of course, this makes more sense in the winter, where the plasma will be very cold from the trip and when brought into your heated house will act as a condensor - in which case it's best to wait a few hours until any condensation evaporates.

  it's a Samsung 42" ED, will see if any quirks and all. Looked online for a bit- there's even a guide for burn-in... and the arguments between LCD and plasma. Well, I'll be happy if regular cable looks anything remotely as well has the HD signal at the store. Makes CRT looked veiled by the thick glass in comparison.

  Good luck to all your TV endeavours.

  I have no experience of plasmas but I used to own a NEC CRT set with the same instructions. If you turned it on immediately after moving it, there would be a colour cast over part of the screen. Turning the set off and waiting the recommended period before turning it back on always removed the cast. It may simply be something like that. I suspect the instruction is there for a reason.

  There are no such instructions for my LCD set and it doesn't seem to have any problems if I move it, but of course LCDs are a different beast to plasmas.
