Even on B&O, who quality control their products almost out of existance, the geometry could sometimes vary a little, just enough to just show or just hide these bars at the top of the picture. The Panasonics were much "looser" in their setup and the height and width could vary quite a bit, but still be in proportion.
I'm not sure modern TV screens allow height and width adjustment as computer monitors do. One of the later Star Wars films on DVD had a superb picture alignment section in one of the menu's...
My Toshiba CRT TV allows user height and width adjustment, as well as about 5 or 6 preset ratios.
Geometries have gone to pot though, the last Sony TV I had a wonky horizontal...which even with picture tilt still looked P****d
