I doubt it'll be a problem. My watching sounds similar to yours, mostly all disc and sometimes I go for long stretches of only watching 4:3 discs. Plasmas have long past the stage when they were extremely susceptible to IR, and mine's an '08 model Pio.

You do have to be somewhat diligent though, like I'm sure you wouldn't want a kid playing a certain type of "static" video game in some ultra-vivid mode. My normal viewing mode is set at 30 ft-L and that seems plenty bright for me since I only watch at night...keep it as low as you can if you're concerned.

It is generally said to not watch 4:3 (or anything with black bars, make gray if optional) for the first 200 hours or so, to let the phosphors settle in evenly. I did that, but seek specific advice for your model.
