The key is moderation, watch different types of movies and channels (full-screen and widescreen) and use low to medium contrast, and you are unlikely to ever have a problem. Soundman2 lives in the UK where, if I remember right, most programming became widescreen several years before HDTV started, so his set was probably displaying a lot more shows with black bars than without.

Oh, no! Don't watch any true widescreen movies (especially) in "full-screen" settings or versions. You will lose major parts of the scenes as the set (or the DVD itself) chops off the sides to zoom the rest into the narrower, old-style screen area. Do you want to see "Ghostbusters" with one of the Ghostbusters chopped out of the picture?
