Just purchased an Hitachi 53" widescreen and have a question on viewing DVDs. In normal widescreen view, I still see 2 black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Not as large as I would get with a letterbox view on a 4:3 TV but there nonetheless. I thought that with a widescreen, the picture would fill up the whole screen. I can zoom on my DVD player (JVC), but I would lose a little of the picture. My salesman at CC said that that was the result of the formatting of film itself; the Hitachi tech support had no idea what I was talking about. I think that I can use the stretch mode (wide stretch) on the TV, but again, this is not what I thought would happen. Any ideas? Thanks
