I always watch 4:3 with the bars unless I'm visiting someone's house. More often than not, people will stretch the image, which bothers me immensely, but I bite my tongue.
Having worked in photography and digital imaging, I can't stand distorted images....watching people with their big fat heads. It's a shame. It's "widescreen" not "stretchscreen." I'd rather they crop out the top and bottom than stretch it.
