I don't even accept the top/bottom cropping. None of my more recent 16x9 TVs do that unless you choose it... I do have an old Sony that crops several rows of 4:3 pixels top/bottom, uncontrollably by me, just enough to annoy me with old movies lol; in those days it was less unacceptable on a WS display.
One thing though: if a few rows top/bottom aren't cropped, in some 4:3 digital TV broadcasts you can see some "junk" up/down there. I was told why, but forget... Many TVs (like my main one) have a slightly less optimal viewing mode that will cut them off and not do much other harm, good enough for a typical TV broadcast (after all, the best are 1080i 16x9 anyway).
