Ok, so I just got a new 32" LCD TV. It's pretty damn nice, but it's 16:9 widescreen which makes the picture kinda weird. There's 3 settings for the screen...regular, overscan, and wide. Regular makes the picture exactly the same as a standard 4:3 TV so there's big black areas on the left and right side of the screen. Overscan stretches the 4:3 picture to fit 16:9 so the aspect ratio looks all kinds of funny. Wide looks good, but it cuts off a bit of the top and bottom. Anyone know if there's a way to make the 4:3 image fit on a 16:9 screen without stretching it or cropping it? I wouldn't even mind letterboxing.
