Setting the bar color for Letter box and Pillar box You can set the color of the horizontal and vertical bars displayed in Letter box and Pillar box screen formats by using the Bar Color option in the Preferences section of the Setup menu. The bar color can be set to either black or gray. The gray bar color is already set and is recommended to avoid screen burn-in. Screen burn-in is a problem that can occur on some TV displays when a dark, stable image is displayed on the screen for an extended period, "burning" the image permanently into the screen. The gray bar color is recommended because lighter colors are less likely to cause burn-in. 79
