Did you select the correct display aspect ratio for your device ?
What is the native resolution of your TV ?

Some plasma TVs have 1024x768 as a native 16:9 resolution (non square pixels).

The "should do" is the expected behaviour. 
What is your selected display resolution ?

Choosen resolution for displaying is reported via syslog.
Can you show us such lines for which you see wrong aspect on your screen ?
They  look like:
vdr: [14328] [VideoOut]: 720x576 [0,72 720x432] -> 1024x576 [0,0 1024x576]
