The Zenith I own has the normal/screen-fill switch but I need to restore mine before I know how it will work. Just about every working "porthole" TV I have ever seen has been displayed with the screen filled with video, probably to show off the difference between these sets and standard displays. Since I am a big fan of viewing things in their original aspect ratio with nothing lost if possible, I would adjust my set for, and use, version C among your choices, but I would want version A available for brief demonstration of a completely-lit CRT.
