The center does not behave like the letterbox areas (which are prone to stubborn IR whether in the form of brightness differences from letterbox viewing or actual image retention), so the compensation mechanism seems to be a primary cause. The fact that I had the panel switched out in April for another (due to 4 dead subpixels) might be exacerbating this issue. No reset was done. This relates to current and voltage as it pertains to different areas of the screen. I found this explanation at AVF enlightening/intriguing: http://www.avforums.com/goto/post?id=21111002#post-21111002

Interesting read over there, Vinnie. But I got the impression that these were 'theories' and 'best guesses' as opposed to facts. Thoughts?
Also interesting to see the people that have had no IR. You see the same thing over at AVS. Weird.

Yes, very much so, and I still have a strong recollection of those Kuro owners who toiled with similar resets on their own panels...I'm inclined to trade up for a 9300 before I go down that rabbithole. The letterbox demarcation that occurs after one movie alone should work in my favor.
If you're trading, you might as well wait for the 65" & 77" UHDs.
Well, I meant as a warranty replacement really. A 9300 wouldn't be out of place in the MBR, which was the original plan I had for the 9800. 
I have other designs on the great room of course.

I second that recommendation. Watching it is time well spent.
Thanks for this Robert!! I know I like to watch these at least a couple of times.
Thanks mech! We love sponsoring our annual event and this was our best year! The presenters are among the very best experts on video and we all learned a lot from their talks.
Check out Part 6, Samsung's Director of Quality Assurance Engineering, Mike Wood's presentation at our 2014 TV Shootout.
This is the last of the manufacturers presentations. The next segment is run by Kevin Miller and he speaks on contrast ratio and demonstrates how each TV performs with test patterns and real video content.

Part 7 just went up. This is the beginning of the TV Shootout were we turn the event over to Kevin Miller and our panel of experts to help us evaluate each TV. This segment covers each TVs performance in regard to high ambient light viewing and contrast ratio. At the end of this clip David Mackenzie reveals for the first time our local zone counter and announces how many local dimming zones we counted on each display.
An education well worth the the time to watch and hear. If you enjoy these segments please give us the thumbs up and make any comments you like.
Also feel free to discuss or ask questions on his thread.
