As far as break in goes, I had no issues playing games with a continual HUD/scoreboard on them (most of them have cut scenes so it's not always on there anyways). My solution was to: switch to a snow channel every 20-30 mins for 5 mins, ensure brightness/contrast is low, and ensure the tv is on a regular channel for at least 5 mins before gaming. Understandable that you're being cautious though. Also, some tv's have a game mode which rotates/shifts the pixels to alleviate still images. Make sure that's on if it's available.
