Gotta watch out for "stealth" letterboxes BEFORE you buy. I bought a couple that were mislabeled at CC and upon returning them, was informed I could only exchange them for 4:3 full-screen. I bitched my way up to the store manager but still no-go. So I made a bet with him. If he could play the DVDs on a 16:9 in Full mode with no distortion, I'd go away. If not, he'd give me my money back. 5 mins later I had the cash.
Follow Ups:
To get true widescreen you need a DVD w/ a 1.8:1 aspect ratio (16x9). Most are letterbox or 2.35:1 so your will still have the black line on top and bottom.
