I've had a Panasonic Plasma 42 inch for about 7 months now and don't watch
too much tv, but I've noticed a slight burn-in from leaving the side bands
black during non-letterbox programming. The side bands have a slight blue
tint as compared to the SD box which is slightly pink. I'm kind of bummed
about it. I have just set the sidebands to grey and will see if I can just
have some black screen SD content on with the grey sidebands to reverse or
reduce the effect. Overall I'm bummed about it.
