Any burn-in concerns when watching movies that are 2.35:1, etc. that still have LB?

I've read alot on here regarding burn-in issues when watching SD signals with the sidebar 4:3 image on the screen. Everybody seems to agree that you should allow the TV to stretch the 4:3 image to eliminate the sidebars.

Now, my question is: I watch alot of movies on disc that are in the higher 2.35:1 or 2.85:1 aspect ratio. These types of movies still require the letterbox in order to maintain the aspect ratio. Is there any concern over the upper and lower black bars getting burned in? I definitely don't want to stretch the film vertically, but I haven't heard much discussion on this type of letterbox and burn-in.

Thanks!

Why do you think there would be a difference between sidebars and top-bottom bars.
Both can lead to IR or burn-in.
Break-in your TV properly and chances would be less that this might happen.

Just use reasonable care. The reason people talk about SD & side bars is because they can watch so much SD content. So out of the first 500 hours, maybe only 100 are without the side bars. That could be problematic.

For example, I have a plasma that's only a month or so old... I watched 4 movies in a row with LB on the bottom yesterday. Not a hint of IR or burn it.
