I don't "hate" letterbox, but I don't like it, either. Fortunately, my flat screen TV has the zoom feature that allows me to fill out the screen when watching channels, such as USA network, that carry much of their programming in letterbox format. I don't have this problem with the local network stations, whose digital feeds always fill my screen. With my Blu-ray player, there is a menu option to switch between 4:3 and 16:9. I set it for 16:9 and it works perfectly with most DVDs--my own and those I rent from Netflix.

I have nothing against letterboxing but I hate it when You Tubers stretch the daylights out of a classic TV shows do it.I watched some of I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners that were stretched to kingdom come.
Its great for movies of any era. Some computer video editing software can crop out the letterbox and fix the video back to normal. I know my DVD player has options that can have letterbox or 4.3 to be selected.And the same for the cable box and the DTV converter as I can remember.
