  I thought that strech modes would bother me also but my Sony has whats called "wide zoom". It enlarges the picture and only streches certain portions of the screen-mostly around the edges-. It does a really good job.

      I would never use the full mode for my 4.3 viewing. My Sony XBR Plasma has a Zoom 1 mode that leaves the picture as natural as 4.3. I only lose a very small portion of the top/bottom/sides, small enough to not even be of concern.

      You are portraying a 4:3 picture onto a "Full" 16:9 mode. The "Wide Zoom" on the SONYs only stretch the sides. Less distortion but I still don't like it.
