I also prefer to view films shot in their original aspect ratio, black bars or no. But if you truly hate black bars that much, there's still a wealth of BDs out there that will fill your screen. Most documentaries, such as the outstanding 'Planet Earth' series and similar titles from the BBC, are in the 1.78:1 (16x9) aspect ratio, which is identical to your screen. There are a fair number of music BDs that are the same. And, there are many films that are 1.85:1, which will fill just about all of your screen--those dreaded black bars are pretty minimal. And don't forget that these BDs will still look (and sound) significantly better than their DVD equivalents.
