Letterbox films and burn in

Jewers — Sun, 20 Sep 2020 08:10:55 GMT

Recently got my KD48A9 TV. I like films but everyone I select is in letterbox. In Sky I have tried changing the screen to zoom to avoid the risk of burn in, but the picture is not as good. On Netflix I don’t seem to have an option to do this. On the burn-in issue, Sony recommends avoiding letterbox format. I watch a film about a couple of times per week. If I am watching in letterbox format is it just a matter of time before I get burn in? Your thoughts and advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Jewers,

If you do not watch letterbox movies only it shouldn't be a big issue.

Cheers

Peter

Hi Peter, Many thanks for getting back. Just to get this clear in my mind, if I watch a couple of letterbox films during a week but watch full screen TV on other days, should my TV be okay?

Jewers, they don't know. The 'solution' you were given is not worth a thing.
