This is the best part of widescreen! :-D

You can choose between:

1. Black bars at the side of the screen. (I.e., all that extra screen 
area you just paid money for being completely unused.)

2. A stretched image where everybody has elliptical heads.

3. One of the various "zoom" modes which distorts the image non-linearly 
to supposedly give a better picture than a linear distortion.

4. Cut the top and/or bottom off the picture to make it fit.

Everybody seems to hate #1, but lots of people apparently see nothing 
wrong with #2 or #3. *shudders*
