Hi.
Unless you use your vintage set day in day out and every day of the week I'd hardly say that screen burning is ever going to be a problem.
Even a test card that is most likely the commonest "picture" we display has never been seen to be leaving a mark on any of my sets and I've had them for a long time now and are on two or three times a week.
I'm sure if it does I'll be long dead and gone.
14:9 is in my view a "reasonable" compromise.
