Burn in is a real threat, too, if you don't get stuff set right - I burned the ESPN logo into my Panasonic HDTV after ~9 months of use.

No need for a DVD, just get some colorbars. Your local college's video services department should be willing to record a few minutes worth of colorbars from their colorburst generator for you.
