My solution to filling the screen is simply to watch programming that predates HD and is not a wide aspect ratio movie....Everything else I prefer letter boxed. I rather not miss parts of the picture (one reason I try to reduce over-scan when I can), and more than a bit of geometric distortion is annoying. For a while after one cable had killed it's 4X3 feed they were stretching the 4X3 shows unevenly (the pillar box region was stretched more than the center), to fill the 16X9 frame they had decided on...This was on a NTSC channel so no cable box to fix the problem....It really ticked me off.
