Greetings, I have some questions regarding wide display LED screens.

1. If I run 480 videos (square box size) for hours. Will that affect the other areas not used. I am talking about left and right black areas. Will they die over time or have any sorts of degradation?
2. How will I avoid pixels dying or getting stuck over time or at least minimize that chance?
3. Related to one. Can I display the operating system over a smaller area of the screen without having to worry about the rest?

Most modern plasma and CRT monitors and TV panels have 'pixelshift' to all but eliminate that issue. The issue is far less a problem with LCD displays. You may be confusing "burn in" with "persistence of image" (a temporary issue): http://lifehacker.com/5982108/is-burn-in-still-an-issue-on-tvs-and-monitors

I have left my Samsung 32" LCD display on the same static screen for hours with no issue. But if you are the worrying type, follow Samsung's advice and see if your unit has a pixel shift adjustment: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00022613&fm_seq=22781
But I doubt an LCD will have that...

1 and 3) No problem. Black areas are active too. They are just displaying the color black, or hex #000000.

2) buy a high quality monitor with a high quality panel. Other than that, it is the luck of the draw. But if you have no stuck pixels now, chances are you will be fine.

So I was researching this over and over. Until I found a Samsung post stating that you indeed get a screen burn if you display videos/photos that are of standard size on a wide screen LCD. The only way to decrease the chance of burn it is to change the screen size or display something that is full 16:9 for 2-3 minutes then move back to 4:3 if you wish.

But I doubt an LCD will have that option because it isn't needed.

Yeah that is it. From what I read it is not as common as other screen types. It happens over a long period. Well, better safe than sorry. This is another discussion regarding it:
