Thank you for your post. I fear the IR is permanent , seeing I've been setting the screen bounds everywhere but where it was when the IR formed, and it is still there, seemingly as noticeable as weeks ago. I appreciate your suggestion, though I feel is enough people get behind this cause we can rush this feature in an incoming patch. I'm currently trying to work something out with Panasonic, as my particular set also has a small manufacturer defect which should be enough wit my valid warranty to warrant a replacement. Seeing as their stockpile is certainly not selling fast.
