Is it desirable? If you want to see your tv picture in its native aspect ratio it is. If all you want is a picture that always fills the screen then you probably want to use one of the streach modes. If you always want a full widescreen (distorted by streaching 4:3 into 16:9) then you can set your DisplaySize variable to 4:3 dimensions and it will always fill the picture. My prefered way is to use the W key to cycle thru the modes. You can also set a default mode in setup if you dont want to default to 4:3.
