42pz77u image retention?

[Josh_ma]

Hi.
I just purchased a 42pz77u set, due to the good price and what seemed to be pretty good performance compared to other sets at that price.
But i am having an issue and was wondering if it was a problem others have seen.

whenever i run any kind of content on the set, i seem to get a ghost image when i look closely.
IE: i'll use the setup menu, and then see a ghost image of the setup menu left behind.

Is this the beginning of an image retention issue? or is it just that the new pixels need to be broken in so they fade quicker?

Any help would be awesome cause if it is an issue i might just exchange for an LCD.

What picture mode are you in? Brightness, Contrast may be too high . . . How close to the screen are you when you see this? How long does this image retention remain visible?
