Are you saying that they are marketed as 16:9, e.g.
in the product listings, but actually measure 16:10?
And do they letterbox 16:9 shows, then, or do they
distort them to fill the frame, or do they crop the
top and bottom?
I have no idea how I would set up my DVD players for
a widescreen monitor that is *not* 16:9. Are you
that other DVD players than the two I have, as well
as STBs, have settings other than 4:3 and 16:9?
