No not really. Most movies since 1970 to 2007 share the same 1.85:1
ratio, so the DVD player always puts the image in the same set of
scanlines: 80-to-400*
So if you were using a plasma, you would experience burn-in, even with
the old letterbox. My suggested solution: Don't buy plasma.
* 4:3 NTSC; approximately
