What TV did you buy? I researched mine for 3 months and found an awesome one. I'm getting a 37" for my bedroom soon and the one I'm looking at is great.
It's a Mitsubishi 62" DLP.

When watching a widescreen DVD or whatever, if I leave the picture on "standard" mode I get alot of black space above and below the picture.

The best setting is "expand" which fills up alot of the screen....basically leaves about the same amount of black space as on a regular square TV.

All of the other settings like zoom, stretch, and stretch plus give me a smaller picture than the expand setting.
