Not noticed black bars after movies ever.  Normal tv viewing and movies don't represent any issue whatsoever in my experience.  I think if you play more than 3 or 4 hours solid you will get IR from any static content, but IR isn't a problem.  Burn in is.  The LG has built in tools to deal with IR.  Once you see the LG in all its glory its just mind blowing.

One point, is your main room light or dark?  A very bright room is better with a top end LED probably as they are a bit brighter than OLED , best are the Samsung qled's imo.... really very good indeed.

By definition black bars wouldn't remain. Unlike any other kind of TV currently on the market, OLED panels don't display blacks...they simply turn those pixels off...

Which means those pixels do not wear as fast as the rest used in 2.35:1 content. Who knows how long it takes before that to become noticeable though and how much 2.35:1 content do you watch?

I had the issue with Plasma, yet those were early days when 90% of tv programming was still 4:3 and I refused to watch it squashed. Result, the side bars that were normally black started to become noticeable by having slightly different brightness and color when displaying actual 16:9 content. It took many months of watching cut off 4:3 content in zoom mode for the wear to even out enough to become unnoticeable again.
