Mmm, my father in law had a TV that did this. It was quite literally 
nausea-inducing. I always wound up with a nasty headache after watching

titling or a crawl across the bottom of the screen... it's a nuisance.

Yeah, I don't get it. The only reason I really want the screen filled is 
so my CRT doesn't burn-in.
