Suggesting to add such option which will be useful to owners of plasma TVs. At video review on a full screen in a format 4х3 on the TV 16x9 there are black edges. I suggest to add an option of replacement of a black background on the grey. That these edges became grey, as on a picture. It will prolong life expectancy of plasma panels and will protect their negative effects of review of video not on a full screen. Thanks.

Various codecs can do this, M$ adjust WMP11\performance setting, PowerDVD has its own colour scheme also.

I have read about it in the instruction to the TV.Huh? I didnt know that plasma technology is so bad
Such grey bars could be probably added in the skin file easialy, just edit the current skins fullscreen video .xml. Maybe some skinner can help with such change?
Also has then seen this function in PowerDVD. I will try to edit this file.
I am also looking to lessen burn-in by making the black side bars grey in fullscreen mode. I'm not familiar with MediaPortal skinning but I looked at the videoFullscreen.xml file in the skin folder anyway. However, I didn't see anything that looked like a border or background color option. Am I looking at the wrong file? Alternatively does anyone have any info about setting up a codec to do this? Thanks.
