2:40:1 and Plasmas... input??

 I just got a blu-ray and realize that the majority of movies are in 2.40:1. I have a Pioneer PDP-5070. Most all of the high def material I've watched thus far has come from HD premium movie channels... not presented in 2.40:1. So, how careful do I need to be about black bars above and below the movie? Will they ghost image my screen eventually? Or is it pretty much a non-issue at this point. I know this is an old topic, but I just wanted some insight from anyone out there with a plasma and their experience with this... THANKS!

Greetings

The majority of movies are not 2.40 ...

Perhaps the majority of the ones you watch are 2.40 ... 2.35 ... 2.39 ... or something there.

If that is all you watch ... then you will get burn in ... but it won't matter since you would not notice.

Generally ... it is a good idea to exercise the TV with stuff that fills the screen after a few of these films.  Set it to some channel that fills the screen.  This will reduce or eliminate the possibility of uneven wear.

Burn in still happens if people are reckless with their viewing behavior.
