Get the widescreen version of the movie then. A widescreen movie will play widescreen (no black bars) on a widescreen tv. Anything else, then get used to the black bars or stretch the picture using the picture format key on your tv's remote. Some TV's do it better than others , but it will always distort it.
Welcome to the forum. Hope it helps. Well, I can only hope, lol.
What I find annoying is when the show is filmed 16:9, then downgraded to 4x3
so it gains the bars top and bottom, then shown on an HD station in 16x9 so it gains black bars on the sides as well, always feel ripped of getting a 24" picture on a 32" TV.....
