Nope. The 16x9 shape is used because those are the specs for HD. Besides, have you considered that if you DID have such a set, all of your 1.78 and 1.85 films would have black on the sides? They certainly would. There are projection screens that are 2.39 and 2.40 but again, the other two main formats give you bars on the sides. You'd also get bars on the side from HD broadcasts if you had such a set. You can probably just zoom everything you have now in 2.39 or 2.40. Not to mention all the other aspectratios... ther's a total of 15 different ratios in film.
