What % of viewing time on plasma should be full screen?

I watch 50% movies and 50% tv shows (on disc or streaming).

90% of the movies I watch are not full screen and have top/bottom bars.

Most of the tv shows I watch are full screen.

So does that just put me out of the running for plasma? I thought I've read that 'non full screen viewing' (ie, 4:3 or most movies) should be only 10% or so of your watching if you have a plasma.

I saw someone talking about 'abusing' a plasma tv. 'Well, if you're going to abuse your set of course you'll have problems'.

So is 40% of watching with bars 'abuse'?
