I chose 640x480 because it gave me the least overscan and allowed my TV to control how 4:3 was mapped to the 16:9 format. My experience has been that my TV is better at it than myth, mplayer, and mame are by a long shot. :)

I've recently received my 16:9 aspect TV and I am trying to get MAME to scale properly. It currently looks like a 16:9 image squished inside a 4:3 frame running on a 16:9 TV. Not pretty. I have read several man pages and I see there is a "displayaspectratio 1.77" option that looks like it should do the trick. Unfortunately when I add this to the "Extras" field in the default options, MAME refuses to start. Here's a sample command line:
/usr/bin/xmame -rompath /htpc/games/mame/roms -cheat_file /htpc/games/mame/cheats -history_file /htpc/games/mame/history/history.dat -snapshot_directory /htpc/games/mame/screens -hiscore_directory /htpc/games/mame/hiscores -hiscore_file /htpc/games/mame/hiscores/hiscore.dat -skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo -video-mode 0 -noartwork -noautoframeskip -bpp 0 -scale 1 -antialias -notranslucency -analogstick -nowinkeys -nograbmouse -joytype 4 -samples -volume -16 -nocheat -displayaspectratio 1.77
I'm guessing that there is a certain combination of "scale", "video-mode", "keepaspect", and "displayaspectratio" that needs to be correct before it will fly.
I have "DisplaySize" set to a 16:9 ratio in my xorg.conf and I'm running at 1280x720. Thank you in advance for your help.
