==============================
With a GOOD TV, there will always be bars except on 1.78:1 ratio.
You must not have proper settings on your TV.
4:3 movies will indeed have bars on the sides of a 16:9 set.
2.35:1 movies will also have bars top and botton (unless you watch distorted
pictures).
Grey bars are ideal and good sets allow you to adjust from black to grey.
Regular TVs indeed have phosphor-burn problems if left at factory settings.
