Some LCD screens do have bad backlight bleeding so it could be be bothersome for some people, if they have black bars around the picture.
Think some of the issues of LCD screens are blown out of proportion. The tech has it limitation and I doubt it will get any better. If you are looking for a perfect screen LCD is probably not what you want.

Most films have a different aspect ratio for widescreen pictures, funnily enough I don't think any of them uses the 16:9 format.
